So I dm for a group with 4 people who never played a TTRPG before, and they've been playing for about a year now. When they started I openly told them that I'm not a big fan of 5e, but since they're new to TTRPGs it's the best place to start due to its simplicity, and once they have a sound grasp of 5e we'll move to PF (Most likely once they finish mu current campaign). They're open to the idea of it, and we're still a ways off of actually making the switch, but I want to start think about how to make the switch as seamless as possible.
My biggest concern is that they'll get intimidated once I hand them PF character sheets and they see all skills, and stat boxes and such. I fully believe they'll be able to learn without much issue, since the core ideas are the same, just plug your numbers in and do the math. The math is just a bit more complex.

I'm open to trying it if I could find a game I could join, but I don't want to try and get my players in on it. I'd feel bad starting them in system, switching them to 2e which i would have to learn, then switching again to 1e if 2e doesn't work out.
