I too am a recent HeroLabs user and to put it simple, I love it. Sure I wish I could customize my printouts a little better but it does what it says it will and really helps me snap out PC's, NPC's, and even critters with relative ease. Combat tracker is also a nice little bonus, but not something I've used too much yet.

Lastly, I am currently checking out D20PRo and the ability to bring my PC's, NPC's and customized critters over to it easily is something I'm really liking. It's a bit spendy, but I'm willing to pay a bit for a quality product that saves me time in the long run.

I can't help but chime in on this one. A few basics, I am a player of RPG's since the 80's. I am also an active member of our Christian Congregation and a member of the priesthood. Pathfinder and D&D are just games. You can make them good or bad depending upong the person you are.

You can make anything evil and of the devil if that is where your heart is. Otherwise, you can take a game like this and have a fun time with your children and friends. I have made a TON of good friends through RPGing over the years and most of them are sincere, good people. However, just like anything else you can get too wrapped up in the RPG experience and devote too much of your time and energy into our make believe world and lose your balance.

When you give more time to yourself and your imaginary world than you do in service to others, are you more selfish or Christian then? I think guns, sports, RPGs, MMORPGs, video games, gambling, even your job (sometimes) are all things people do for fun or use to relax and get away. But everyone of them has the potential to be abused and lead to destructive lifestyles. It's all in what you do with it and if you keep it in moderation.

Lastly, and maybe I'm a bit different than most of you, but I would NEVER take my RPG books out into the public/professional world to read up. I'm aware that many people have negative views on RPGs and I'm not out there to make a statement about them. I read them and play them in the relative privacy and security of my home.

I visited the pathfinder wiki as a couple of you suggested and wow, that is a good wealth of material. I also appreciate the books that you good folks have directed me towards. I just picked up the Bestiary during my lunch hour and will take a look at the Gamemastering and Advanced Players Guides next. I used to be the DM/GM for our group and I can see that if this is going to get off the ground in my town it's going to be up to me again.

Once more I thank you all for the advice and guidance.

Thank you guys for the warm welcome and good advice on the Core Books. I don't want to bore you guys with questions that are perhaps answered elsewhere, but I do have one I'm struggling with. I am interested in jumping right into Golarion as well but in my bit of research I am having trouble finding the Campaign Guide. It looks like it's only available in PDF and even Amazon only has it from secondary vendors for unrealistic prices. Is it already out of print?

Hello everyone,

This is my first post and I hope I'm putting this in the right place. After a break from 3.5 I heard about Pathfinder at my local gaming store and, after thumbing through the Core Rulebook, I picked it up. I am hooked! What a fascinating revivication of the rules!

That said, I am turning in circles trying to figure out what books I should pick up next. Being on a limited budget (aren't most of us?) I wish I could pick up all of them at once and place a huge order. However, I can only do a couple at a time.

So please, community, what would be your recommended order of books to purchase? I would like to get more rules and core books first and then move to campaign information and adventure paths (if those are the new modules I'm used to from my D&D days) next.

Thanks!
