Pretend it’s your birthday, because you’re about to open something really special. I don’t have a fun unboxing video, so you’ll have to settle for text or go watch Paizo’s official unboxing videa. I’ll give you a brief rundown of what’s in the box:

Are you talking about THIS STARTER SET. Because I had that starter set and wound up giving it away. Value and content wise it was kinda thin compared to both the PF and PF2 Beginners boxes. The D&D starter set felt like they just threw it together as a loss leader and relied on the brand name to sell it. The PF beginners boxes looked like they took their time to create and experience for beginners, people who have never played the game before. Admittedly I'm not really the target audience for these boxes but I tend to buy them anyway because I'm always looking for ways to introduce new people to the hobby. Setting up character sheets and tokens for a new character is somewhat tedious, but you only need to do it once per character and it will save you a lot of effort after that. For example: when moving between maps, a character’s hit points will persist so you don’t need to update the tokens in multiple places. You are literally the first person I've seen complain about that product. Not saying your criticisms are invalid, just unusual. The adventure in this book and the story seeds below aren’t the only adventures this town offers. The standalone Pathfinder Adventure Troubles in Otari continues the story begun here and brings heroes all the way to 5th level. The Abomination Vaults Adventure Path is a separate series of three linked adventures, starting with Ruins of Gauntlight, set in Otari and a dangerous dungeon just to the north. Of course, you can also invent adventures of your own! Removed bonus encumbrance from the character sheet and added a tooltip breakdown for encumbrance and max bulk

Beginner Box Game Master’s Guide. Only the player who plans to be the GM should read this document, as it contains the Menace Under Otari adventure which you’ll play as part of the Beginner Box, and if players read it they’ll spoil the story for themselves. After running the adventure, players might enjoy reading it to learn about being the GM.That's the power of a mass producer like Hasbro rather than any inherit virtue of the box or its contents.

More than 100 hand-curated journal entries containing revised instructions that teach you how to be a GameMaster or player using Pathfinder Second Edition for Foundry VTT. Oh, and with just enough hint of what the full system could do, to try and encourage players to graduate to the “real” thing if they liked their first experience. It means that each GM is free to judge where the line should be, but the game and setting should still be recognizably Pathfinder and Golarion. Four Pre-Generated Character Sheets. These include the iconic cleric, fighter, rogue, and wizard. These sheets also serve as helpful reference documents for important terms that you’ll see in the game, so even if you don’t play the pregen characters players may still find the sheets helpful to reference while playing.Even if you plan to play using the pre-generated characters, I recommmend creating a character as a learning exercise if you plan to play Pathfinder 2e beyond the Beginner Box. Everyone, including the GM, should take part in this exercise. As noted above, the Beginner Box is the perfect introduction into the world of Pathfinder. From there, we’ve put together a series of next steps leading adventurers to a career in the Pathfinder Society. First up, we recommend the upcoming Bounty titled The Road from Otari, scheduled to debut in January. The story builds on Menace Under Otari, leading your first-level characters from Otari to Absalom, where you arrive at the Grand Lodge to begin your career as a Pathfinder! From there, we recommend PFS 1-01: The Absalom Initiation, where new characters can meet the various important Society NPCs, and the upcoming PFS 2-11: The Pathfinder Trials, which gives a peek into how the Society trains its initiates. Post-training, a good start to the Year of Corruption’s Reach, this year’s metaplot, is PFS 2-01: Citadel of Corruption, or characters can dive into being Pathfinders via any other Pathfinder Society adventure! Area #14: This fight is pretty easy if the players realize that they can extinguish fire with water. It’s even easier if the players realize that the Cinder Rat can’t go into the water. One of the strengths of the Beginner Box is that it includes a simplified version of the full Pathfinder ruleset. This allows new players to learn the basics of the game without feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of the full rules. However, the simplified rules still provide plenty of depth and complexity, allowing players to experience the full range of Pathfinder gameplay. Regardless of your level of experience, I strongly encourage you and your party to make sure that someone in the party is Trained in the Medicine skill. It’s a crucial survival tool in Pathfinder 2e, and having someone who is able to perform the Treat Wounds activity will make the whole game run much more smoothly. Player’s Character Sheets and Tokens

Well here are a few other selling points that we sometimes don't consider that made it particularly good for new gamers. Scenes pre-configured with walls, lights, sound, tokens, and hazards already placed to provide GMs the most convenient experience running the adventure.For physical copies, I recommend starting with your friendly local game store. If you don’t know where to find your FLGS, I recommend using the Paizo Store Locator. caps wrote: Planning to run this for my kids. Presumably I can use the other pregens in the box to make a legal table as long as there are at least two players?
