Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Beginner Box Transitions PDF

If you take the 14 pages of the playing the game chapter on the BB and the 7 pages of new rules after the index on this document it makes for some kind of rules summary on 21 pages for new players.

This is definitely a good reference for making the leap from one set of rules to the next, but I also found that it's a valuable document, even if you don't plan on making that transition.

Calling out the biggest differences between Beginner Box and Core rules, this PDF is very helpful for those of us who are currently using both versions of the rules and who might need a reminder about what options were removed from the Beginner Box for simplicity and ease of play.

The information about converting Core Rules modules and how to read stat blocks and spells from the Core Rules will certainly be valuable to those who want to use material from the more advanced books.

The last few pages are mainly advertisements for modules and Pathfinder Society play, but I don't consider that a bad thing. In particular, calling out modules that would be good for use with the Beginner Box is pretty helpful, and I think they made the right choices about what modules would be best suited for the BB audience.
