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

    General DM advice:

    • Start with a one-shot.
    • Having a DM as your player is going to be very helpful, listen to their advice if they have any. But, also listen to your players.
    • You will make mistakes.
    • You cant plan for everything. Be prepared to make stuff up on the fly.
    • Dont panic.
    • If you haven’t heard from someone’s character in a while, check in with them, giving everyone a fair chance for screen time.
