I played my first game of Pathfinder tonight. Having come from a D&D background, and having read all versions of D&D, the transition wasn't so bad. I have forgotten how heavy the rules are for these games. There's basically a test for everything you want to do. But from my group gaming days, we tended to ignore stuff that got in the way of the story. So, I did the same here!
Meet Taka the 1st level human monk. I'm trying a "Bourne Identity" type of opener here. After this premise is established, I'm going to let GME determine the rest of the story. I bought the Pathfinder Inner Sea World Guide to use as a setting. I plan to have Taka wander those lands and discover them along with me.
I also did this session completely paper free! I'll detail that set up in another post. But it was quite a liberating experience. However, my PC was cluttered for sure.
