I've been reading the forums off an on for a while now, but figured it's time to jump in and request some help!
I played 3.5e with a group of friends for about two years in Chapel Hill, but recently moved to Houston and am trying to start up a new gaming group. It looks like I'll have enough players to get a game going, but it also looks like I'll be the only one who's really played D&D before (outside of a few brief experiences in high school).
At this point, I'm leaning towards putting together a Pathfinder campaign (the group I played with was pretty critical of 4.0, and my pride keeps me from giving it a fair chance these days), but don't know anything beyond that. As this will be my first time being a DM, and many of their first times playing a D20 game, I need some advice on an adventure path that I could buy and would give everyone a good overall experience. Something that isn't just a dungeon loot-and-plunder experience, but still contains plenty of the classic elements they are likely expecting. Also, I need something easy to DM, as I have no freakin clue what I'm doing.
Oh, and do most people use miniatures? I guess I've only played with the one group, so I don't have a good idea of what other options are.
Thanks in advance!
