Fwiw, you can still use the dice, pawns, and flip-mat, which are probably some of the costliest components in the box. They're system-agnostic.

Good point; very true!

If you like I can try to get you some information on what I did to convert the 'dungeon' that is in the 1e Beginner box to 2nd edition rules with monsters and such, if that would help you. You could use your flipmat and tokens then.

My family just started going through it. The kids did it as a P1 game some years ago, but I have tried to convert it and they are trying their Advance Players Guides Playtest characters through it now.

That would be hugely helpful!

The 2e beginner box is right around the corner and is more fleshed out as far as beginner boxes go. I'd honestly recommend going with 2e because so many things are streamlined. Honestly, you could probably just hand them the 2e Iconic pregen characters and replace all the monsters in the 1e beginners box with their 2e version except for the dragon. I think the dragons bane sword would also give you a little bit of trouble converting. You could always pick up a pathfinder society mission to run in place of the beginner box adventure if you want a good 4 hour adventure and don't have to do any conversions. For a dungeon crawl Scenario 1-11 Flames of Rebellion is pretty good.

Awesome. Those are some great suggestions. I hate eating the cost of what I paid for, but it was also two years ago, so it's not like I'm really feeling that loss. Thanks for the input!

Hi all! I'm not new to tabletop RPGs, but it's been a long time since I've played . A couple years ago I bought the Beginner Box in hopes of playing with my wife and kids. They didn't seem quite ready, so I set it aside. Now they all want to start playing, but.....2e has since come about. I'm just learning myself and have the mechanics down for playing them through the Beginner Box, but....is it a waste of time now? Is there a way to transition from the old Beginner Box to 2e when that time comes? Or will I need to start them over from scratch at that point? I do have the Starfinder Core Rulebook. Am I better off picking up that game's Beginner Box and playing that with them instead, and eating the cost I paid for the Pathfinder Beginner Box? Should I play them through the Beginner Box and then use the original rules through old copies? (We won't be playing with anyone other than ourselves) Any advice, insight, and suggestions are very welcome!
