Greetings!
My family has gotten into Pathfinder, and after the beginner box we rapidly got some basics - Core Rulebook and Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition. This is the first real RPG experience for everyone.
We're all excited about PF, and would like to do Rise of the Runelords soon, but no one really wants to be the GM for the whole months-long campaign. There are three of us that could effectively GM out of a group of 5 (2 adults and children).
I'd like some advice on the following points. Please feel free to link to other resources or threads if some of these have been addressed before - but my searching has been futile thus far.
1) In RotR, would a rotating GM be an issue? We understand the challenges of player knowledge/character knowledge. Is there a lot of knowledge scenario to scenario that carries over that one player might be end up knowing too much?
2) Should the GM play their character when GM'ing (perhaps in a subdued role) or should that party member be absent for some in-game reason?
Any other advice, pointers, suggestions or just referring us to existing resources would be appreciated.
