Since most of the group has never played Pathfinder before, I decided to run a short 1-night adventure to introduce people to the game's mechanics. For those who are interested, I put together a short document comparing Pathfinder to both AD&D (i.e. D&D 2nd Edition) which we've played for most of our gaming careers, and D&D 4th Edition, which we've been playing for the last couple of years. It's available here.
Rather than have the players play the standard assortment of noble heroes out to save the world, I thought it would be fun, for one night only, to see how the other
half lives – to play bloodthirsty, greedy, sneaky, chaotic little menaces - to be goblins!
