First time DMing: what AP should I run?


Pathfinder Adventure Path General Discussion

I was thinking Rise of the Runelords, does anyone else have any suggestions? I am actually going to be converting whatever AP int 5th Edition D&D because that what my local group wants to try out.


If you are going to convert the AP anyway i suggest either rise of the runelords because it's the cheapest or curse of the crimson throne which has the best story.

Story is my biggest concern. I'm not the most creative so I'm hoping for AP support to help me with the story.

First time GMing, and you not only want to start out with a full AP, but also convert said AP to.a different system?

My advice: slow down. Start out with a smaller adventure, and one written for 5e.

Frog God Games offers a free 5e edition of their module The Wizard's Amulet.

Thanks for the tip! I was just thinking an AP would work better than a sandbox campaign. I will look into your suggestion.


Why not The Rise of Tiamat since it's 5e already?

I agree, conversion is not ideal for a first time GM. Good luck!

Also if you want to see what 5e can do play a 5e adventure for best results.
