Pathfinder 2 recommendations (lemmy.zip)

Hi All,

Our playgroup is finally switching over from d&d to pathfinder. We just finished the beginner module and are looking for what to do next and looking for recommendations.

We are experienced RPG players but no pathfinder experience so want to avoid something too lethal. Additionally, it seems many modules skew heavily into dungeon crawls but we are looking for maybe a bit more of a healthy mix of combat and roleplay.

I've heard of the adventure paths, is that the main thing to be looking at? Or are there also more conventional, less episodic modules out there? I only have a rough understanding of what the adventure paths even are so insight there could be helpful too.

Thanks!

Maybe suggest to the GM to read something like So You Want To Be A Game Master? That way your GM doesn’t rely on pre-existing adventures and can, instead, create them.

I am the GM, I've been homebrewing for d&d for almost a decade. My nervousness is I am not sure I know the system well enough to balance encounters yet in Pathfinder, hence reliance on a module.

Sounds like what you need is a bestiary to build encounters from.

Archives of Nethys is a great place to go for that.

Honestly player characters in PF2 aren't that fragile, (at low levels) you can just throw something vaguely level appropriate at them and all will be fine. They can always run away if things get spicy.
