I believe that it was either Crown of the Kobold King (2007 3.5 era) or Burnt Offerings of Rise of the Runelords (also 2007), but I'm not entirely sure.

Does anyone know?

"Burnt Offerings" was the first Pathfinder product. "Crown of the Kobold King" was GameMastery.

According to the Pathfinder Wiki, it was D0: Hollow's Last Hope, Paizo's offering for Free RPG Day 2007 (June 2007).

D1: Crown of the Kobold King was released the same month while Burnt Offerings didn't appear until August (Gen Con, I believe).

The GameMastery adventures kind of count, though, don't they, because they are set in Golarion? Makes sense to me, anyway. ;)

They were later retconned/made to fit into Golarion as it was developed. They were originally meant to be generic adventures.

Neat. Thank you for the speedy responses, Liz and Kiraya!

Bonus round: The first Pathfinder RPG product was the Bonus Bestiary for Free RPG Day 2009, preceding the Core Rulebook by about two months.

People played Pathfinder RPG way before that. The Beta Playtest was a physical release that appeared in stores in August 2008. And even before that, the Alpha Playtest was released in PDF in March 2008.

Fixed the link to the Alpha playtest! I did not know the Beta was shipped to stores—error corrected!

Mine was the beginner box when that came out, not as old school, but I wouldn't be where I am now with the game if it wasn't for it. Was mine and my groups first ever foray into a table top rpg, and I've found I love being a GM. So yeah, a lot to thank that product for.

I find it amusing to see someone refer to ANY Pathfinder product as "old school".

You gotta tell them apart from "The Dark Ages" stuff somehow.

Purely tongue and cheek, I assure you XD Just saying I haven't been playing Pathfinder as long as most.
