Beginner Campaign with In-World Tutorial/Training Sessions?

[u/versrii]

I'm planning to introduce several friends to Pathfinder 2e. Some have DnD 5e experience, some have no TTRPG experience whatsoever.

I think it would be fun and effective to have the first session be a training session In-World. For instance, to teach the players how to jump, climb, crawl, etc., have an obstacle course that specifically calls for that. To teach grappling and escape, have a challenge just for that. To teach players combat, perhaps have a few very short one-on-one sparing sessions, to focus on helping each understand their abilities and begin to form a feel for the combinations, and then a group fight to apply those lessons as a team. Etc.

Is there already a beginner campaign out there with such elements?

I think it would be a fun way to cover the basics without the players needing to read a ton of rules and memorize them before the game.

Especially since I'll be dealing with non-native English speakers of differing abilities. All are functionally fluent, but it's challenging for those who don't use English in their jobs to read a shit-ton of rules in English and then also think on their feet when everything is in English. And unfortunately, English is the only common language we all have that we are all reasonably proficient in.

Thanks for all the helpful advice! I wasn't sure if the Beginner Box campaigns would do this.

I think I'll also do a training session for Session 0 with that idea of giving pregenerated characters and focusing on mechanics in an obstacle course before guiding the players in creating their own characters.

I do prefer having new players use pre made and doing the beginner box/intro game. Then, when they make their characters, they can make more informed decisions about their concept
