So, I'm going yo be GMing for the 1st time soon, and I was wondering if you guys could recommend a good pre-made game? I just wanna get the basics of GMing down before even attempting to create my own adventure lol.
I'd love something that's centered on dragons or undead, but really anything will do.
Thanks in advance! ^_^

Go for one of the free ones offered by Paizo in their "free RPG day". Hollow's Last Hope has some undead, I think, and "Master of the Fallen Fortress" is a really good intro for new GMs and new players alike. Unfortunately, I'm not sure you'll find much with dragons at lower levels, but that's not stopping you from injecting one into any session!
Hollow's Last Hope does have a wyvern you could replace with a dragon. Just make sure it's a very, very young dragon so you don't fry your players too quickly. ;)
Thank you very much, this is exactly what I'm looking for. ^_^
If you like Dragons, and don't mind shelling out a little bit of money, The Dragon's Demand is a great adventure that takes the group from 1-6, involves a dragon, and has some great sidequests as well. I'm running it with a group of very new players and they're loving it*.
*note: I strongly recommend having a rogue in the party if you run Dragon's Demand, as kobolds (and their numerous traps) figure in heavily during the early game.
Crypt of the Everflame is available in PDF (or they have some non mint copies, which will be usable). It was designed to introduce Pathfinder, features undead fairly prominently and has a variety of situations, whilst still being a pretty linear story (making it much easier to run as a new DM, in my opinion).
The Dragon's Demand is a more recent and still available, larger module. Although it is also for first level characters, it does feature a dragon. It's less linear than Crypt of the Everflame and has twice the page count.
I think the second is a superior module, but its probably more daunting for a new DM. In my view, it's best to run fairly straightforward stories early on whilst you learn to keep track of all the things a DM has to track. As such, I'd recommend Crypt of the Everflame.
Great suggestions as well, very much what I'm looking for, thank you. C=

I would recommend Crypt of the Ever Flame. It is a dungeon crawl module designed for beginning GMs and players Crypt of the Everflame. Here is the dungeon map for the module. Unfortunately it is out of print, but perhaps the PDF will be useful Dungeon Map
I think there are also paper Minis for this module as well. link
There are also three beginning scenarios for Pathfinder Society Organized Play, which would be a very nice introduction to the game. They are a free down load as well
The first is "In service to Lore"
The Second is To Delve Dungeons Deep
And the Thrid is A Vision of Betrayal
A scenario is a short adventure designed to be run in 4 to 5 hours in one evening.
There is also the Beginner Box
I hope this helps

Hey Reinhardt. JUMP IN!
We Be Goblins is a fun and free adventure that is a great starting place!
Another free adventure is Hollow's Last Hope. It's made for 3.5 but when I started Pathfinder it was great me (new GM) and my 3 brand new players.
Paizo's new Dragon's Demand is top notch work. It'll take the players from levels 1 to 6, and may have the the dragon your looking for.
Thank you both as well, getting tons of great suggestions here, now I've just gotta decide which to use. XD
Also the Crypt of the Ever Flame can be used with two other adventures to form an even longer adventure. Mask of the Living God and the City of the Golden Death are the two sequels.
