I am currently looking at DM’ing for my first time as well as being the introduction for PF2e to our group.

We’ve played for a bit, started with 3.5e, and moved to 5e, however we never felt satisfied playing 5e.

We are looking now at Pathfinder 2e to continue our group and as I am the one who brought it up, it has fallen to me to DM, though I never have before. I’ve only played 1e. The group seemed to like the emphasis on group cooperation versus solo rushing that 5e seems to encourage.

Group would be 5 players, one forever DM who is glad to play for once.

I am looking through different books to try and find an introductory adventure for us to feel out PF2e. One-shots were considered but did not feel like they would teach us as much about PF2e compared to a small adventure.

Does anyone have some advice for a first time DM who is looking to bring their group from 5e? Any adventures in mind? I had been eyeing the kobold king as well as Rusthenge.

Thanks! :3

    I just ran my very experienced in ttrpg but not pathfinder group through the beginner box, and everyone had a blast. Yes it has stuff to help someone who is totally new to ttrpging (pregened character sheets have a colored coded image of the dice and the dice that come in the box match the character sheet.) But my group all made their own characters with no restrictions.

    There is a second adventure path that takes place after the beginner box, but it has not been remastered yet, called Troubles in Otari. As soon as our warrior returns from Antarctica we will be starting that path.
