[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8876437, member: 42040"] You can give it an "honest go" with just the Core rulebook and Bestiary. I'd say there are plenty of options in the Core to get the essential experience. Advanced Player's Guide, Guns and Gear, and the other class books have nice options, but you don't need to go full tilt and overwhelm yourself (and everyone else). And honestly, it's all on Archives of Nethys if you want to sample it before you buy. I use the Golarion wiki to fill in the gaps of the setting that come up during the play of adventures. The Lost Omens stuff I own (their campaign setting line) I have just because they were deeply discounted on Humble Bundle. None of it has been necessary. I have heard that Plaguestone isn't the best. I probably wouldn't start with that. The Beginner Box is an amazing introduction. I have run it several times. From there you can go to Troubles in Otari, which is a spin-off to the adventure in the Beginner Box (Menace Under Otari). Both of those connect to the Abomination Vaults, which is fun to have in the background for characters to explore as they get up to more trouble in the nearby town, Otari. (Just use the first volume for now since you already have it.) Other than that, it's pretty much APs. I haven't heard much good about the single adventure modules. Of the APs, Strength of Thousands is the highest reviewed one. Anyways, best of luck! [/QUOTE]
