I'm taking my kids (7,9,11 + 2 of their friends) through the Beginner's box now, and have picked up a bunch of material (core rule book, bestiary 1, gm guide, some maps, a module or two, kingmaker ap 1, etc) so we can move on to the "full" game soon. (Going to start with Crypt of the Everflame)

I want to simplify the game some for my kids, to make it easier for them to handle and enjoy.

I plan to:
Remove Combat Maneuvers
Remove Prestige Classes
Remove Attacks of Opportunity
Remove Multiclassing (And so just one favored class)
I'm undecided about encumbrance, and whether I'll track it or not.

Any other suggestions for simplifying Pathfinder for a younger group of players?

I ordered the beginner box recently, and am taking my 3 children + two of their friends through it (ages 7 - 11), and they're having a blast! I haven't played a Tabletop RPG in 18 years or so, so it's a lot of fun for me as well. The kids have been begging to play more, as soon as we finished up the black fang dungeon.

My question is, once we finish with the Beginners box, then what?

Ideally:
We'll play once a week on the weekends.
The kids would like a longer campaign using a single character to play through it.
It has to be kid friendly (I can edit as needed, too)
I want a pre-built campaign & story to take them through.

I've ordered the Core Rule Book, The GM Guide, and the Bestiary, and got the GM Screen. To start reading while we do more of the beginner box stuff.

So, what's the best next step for them for PFRPG?

Is it:
An adventure path? (If so, which one? I prefer not to convert a 3.5 one to PFRPG)
Modules and just chain them together?
Pathfinder Society scenarios, such as the First steps?

Also, what resources will I need with any of those to make it more interactive for the kids? Map packs? Campaign setting resources? Anything else?

I don't have a ton of time to invest in this each week, outside the time we're already putting aside to play, so I want something where I can jump in and run the game for them as quickly as possible!

Thanks for any advice!
