Hello All.
So, I am the unofficial "leader" of a small gaming group of friends and we all want to start playing an RPG. Long story short, I found Pathfinder and it appears to be a clearly superior product with respect to other RPGs on the market.
I have been "nominated" to be a GM for my gaming group (in actuality, I'm the only one willing to take that plunge). So, I have the Beginner Box and am preparing to run it. I've downloaded some of the Beginner Box extra adventures and am looking over them as well. I also intend on ordering the Crypt of the Everflame module after scouring the forums for advice on this very topic. I've read that running a few modules first is better than just jumping right into an Adventure Path for a newbie GM and group.
Now, to the topic at hand. I am looking for advice about which Adventure Path would be a good one to run for someone who has never GM'd before and for a group who has (almost) no experience with tabletop RPGs. Here are some (what I hope to be) reasonable constraints:
- Rise of the Runelords is out because I've pre-ordered the anniversary edition and it won't have been released yet.
- I don't want anything that has to be converted from 3.5. I read that some of the early Adventure Paths were written for 3.5 and would require conversion.
- My inclination is to want something combat heavy so that there is less roleplaying involved. I think my group would enjoy the roleplay, however, being a new GM, I want to make sure the campaign is something I can handle for my first attempt. I assume I can take on more complex campaigns once I get comfortable.
Also, any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
