New DM Advice Needed


Advice


So this is my first time DMing in a long time, and one of my first times for Pathfinder. My group is pretty inexperienced as well with a few completely new to tabletop gaming in general. Seeing as I don't have the time or the creativity to make my own adventure I was going to use a premade adventure path. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for what a good adventure path for beginners would be? Also what books would I need for said adventure path? I have players handbook, advanced players handbook, bestiary 1, advanced race guide, and the GM's guide.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. Thanks for any advice :)


Rise of the Runelords is a very popular one and has been updated for pathfinder. Curse of the Crimson throne is quite good as well (though I'm not sure if it's compatible with pathfinder).

Once you have some experience under your belt, Kingmaker is a blast-but it requires some extra rules that you should probably avoid until you've got one good game under your belt.

All of these can be run with just the modules thankfully. If you have a laptop or a computer near your gaming area? Great. At d20pfsrd.com you can find pretty much all the rules, statblocks, feats, items, etc for pathfinder, minus the fluff and lore stuff generally. This is free and legal-though if you like something, buy the book for the fluff.

Before you get into a full-fledged adventure path, you might want to take a test run with a module to freshen up on rules & get back into it. We Be Goblins is a fun one, and there are plenty of PFS modules that can be done in one sitting. The Beginner's Box also has a simple adventure and lots of useful resources, particularly if you lack dice, a playmat, or figurines.

Don't worry too much about the books, since the content is all on d20pfsrd.com. The Core rulebook would be handy to be able to look up combat rules and class features and whatnot without having to dig out an internet device, though.
