Thanks heaps guys, you've all been hugely helpful :)

I will be running - at least to start - since I'm the only one who has any real experience with 2E at all (I've played the beginner box and really enjoyed it - nothing but compliments to the designers).

Based one what you've all said I should definitely start with the GM Core and probably the Monster Core (it's a small group so guides on scaling will probably be useful, for instance, and I firmly believe you can never have too many stat blocks).

Sounds like I'll get good use out of Player Core 1 as well and maybe 2 ... I don't know that I *need* it, but I do love gnolls.

I'm probably safe to hold off on buying PC2 til the next time I'm paid though :D

3 pdfs isn't a bad start, and I can build up physical copies and assorted extra materials as time goes on.

I appreciate all your advice on the topic, thank you :)

Hi there,

Tragic tale, much simplified, my partner got most of the rpg collection in the divorce.

I'm rebuilding, because I've got a new group lined up already who're keen to play Pathfinder but who have minimal experience.

However. Last time I was looking at running Pathfinder it was still 1E.

These days, what're the most important books to grab?

Should I buy:
The Core Rulebook (no?)
The Gamemastery Guide (maybe?)
The GM Core (I think this is the newest one?)

Do I need Player Core? Or should I be looking at the Advanced Players Guide?

There's been a lot of changes to Pathfinder that I've kind of skimmed over (I'm more into Starfinder, personally), so I need to catch up without breaking the bank by just buying one of everything :D

Any help much appreciated!
