About GM Minotaur
Dragonslayers Wanted!
Founded by a famous dragonslayer, the small town of Belhaim has become a sleepy rural community just off the beaten path, a settlement where everyone knows everyone and strangers are the talk of the town.
But when Belhaim's peace and quiet is shattered by the sudden collapse of the last standing tower of its founder's castle, things quickly bloom out of control. Why were there bodies of kobolds amid the rubble? What's the sinister secret behind the strange sounds of flapping wings in the night? And what's happened to local wizard Balthus Hunclay, who's not answering knocks on his door? The collapsed tower had long been an eyesore to the cantankerous old man—could he have had something to do with its destruction? And what of the rumors of strange stirrings in nearby Dragonfen?
Has Belhaim's ancient draconic nemesis returned?

After years of not being able to do any gaming at all, I was fortunate enough to start roleplaying here on the boards and it's definitely given me the itch to start running a game of my own. I debated whether to run a simple, small adventure or venture out with a full AP and after searching the internet, I think that Dragon's Demand offers a little bit of both options. The story allows characters to possibly achieve as high as 7th level over the course of one grand, connected adventure.
My background?: I used to run Marvel Superheroes and 3.5 D&D for our gaming group, both tabletop and pbp, but we've all grown up and moved to different parts of the country, so that's not really possible anymore. Though I play Pathfinder now, I've never run a game with this system, so I might need a bit of patience if I make any mistakes. Feel free to point them out…but be kind. :D
My goal? I want to work with the players to tell an exciting and fun story using the PF1e rules, with Core classes and races only, really going for a “Classic Fantasy” game feel. I know this might not work for everyone, but that’s why there’s so many different game recruitments on the boards, right? Something for everyone.
