Hey guys! I've yet to run my first game but I got the Beginner Box, the Bestiary Box, and all the free stuff from the Beginner Box page here on Paizo. However, I am thinking ahead and wondering which modules/adventure paths to consider for my group.
But first, some group info --- my group basically consists of my wife and two sons, aged 9 and 3 --- the 3 year old thinks he can do anything we do, so he will be our official dice roller for both the GM and one GMPC. Because of this, I have ruled out Rise of the Rune Lords as it is too violent and it seems like it deals with the 7 sins which is too "adult" by itself for me to successfully tone it down. I have just finished reading Crypt of the Everflame and it seems like I can run that with a little more kiddie-friendly mood.
As for myself, I have a little experience with CRPGs but even less experience actually GM-ing.
Anyway, my main beef with Crypt is that it seems to be set in a different town... the Beginner Box is set in Sandpoint; I don't even know where Kassen is in relation to Sandpoint. At the end of the adventure, it seems like the PCs are expected to travel OUT from Kassen to investigate other hooks like the newly-minted coins, where the bandits were from, etc.
I would like my PCs to be based out of one locale for the moment, as we are all new. It would save me tons of time too just having to learn one settlement and work from there, instead of having to learn 10 settlements that the PCs are only going to spend a few sessions in. Also, as a new GM, I would prefer to use a pre-made module or AP instead of making my own as I have no idea how to make one.
So I make this thread here in the PFRPG General Discussion forum --- is there a location in the PF world that is constantly used in the pre-made PF modules or adventure paths? Or is there a module or adventure path that revolves around a central location?
