Pathfinder PDFs

The migration from the old Minotaur Games website is now complete with the transfer of all of the pages and information about the Pathfinder-compatible PDFs published by Minotaur Games. You can now learn all about the Monster Focus, Favored Terrain, and the immensely popular Rule Zero line of PDFs.

Interested in learning a bit about the content of each Pathfinder PDF, visit the product page or check out the Rules Index that contains a brief snippet for every rules item published to date. Note that Rule Zero: Gem Magic and Rule Zero: Underlings are not included at this time.

Although it has been quite a while since we’ve released a PDF, you can still pick up these great products at Paizo, DriveThru, and the PFSRD site!

Welcome to Minotaur Games!

Welcome to Minotaur Games! Over the past two years, Minotaur Games has went from my tiny side-project, publishing PDFs compatible with the Pathfinder RPG (the game that is my first love) to the launch of the very successful kickstarter and now to the release of Pirate Loot, my first card game!

I figured it was time to update the look of this site to that of an actual game company. Over the coming days, I am going to finish importing content from the old site (minotaurrpg.com) and get things ready for the official release of Pirate Loot, set to appear in stores in mid-November!

There are a lot of people who have helped me get this far and I hope that all of you are as excited as I am. I have a lot more great things to bring to you in the future.

Just try not to get lost in the maze… the Minotaur is hungry.

September 16, 2014 Minotaur 0

We are in the final days of the Pirate Loot card game Kickstarter! This Friday (September 19th), the ships will set sail on this fast-paced card game of treasure and treachery!

We’ve cruised past funding in just 5 days and have since crushed two of our stretch goals. Now, we are entering the final hours and we need your help us set sail with the best game possible!

There is still time to join the crew! For just $20 you can get a copy of the game! Sign up to be a Gunner at $35 and you will get the game and all the bonuses unlocked during the Kickstarter (including a 6-player expansion deck if the game reaches $40k). Sign up to be a minotaur gunner for $45 and you get all the gunner bonuses, plus 10 Pathfinder-compatible PDFs from Minotaur Games!

Want to learn more, you can see a play-thru of Pirate Loot below!

Full Art, Undead Pirates, and Slap .45

Lots of news to share here this Friday. Pirate Loot is cruising along and the support has truly been amazing! For those of you who have backed the game, thank you! You are helping to make a great game! For the rest of you, there is still plenty of room to join our crew.

Earlier this week, we crushed the $20K stretch goal, unlocking Full Art for the entire game. This means that the majority of the cards in the deck will have their own unique piece of art! The only exception are cards that are duplicated in the deck. These will have the same art for ease of identification.

With the $20K goal, we also revealed the first of two expansion suits set to appear in the 6-player expansion deck. This deck unlocks at $40K and will add two new factions to the game, allowing you to play Pirate Loot with up to 6 players! The suit we revealed is UNDEAD pirates! These gruesome zombies have crawled forth from the depths to drag the loot back down to their watery graves. In game, they focus on manipulating the discard pile, forming an ever growing horde of the dead!

Finally, we announced a cross-promotion this week with another exciting kickstarter project. Slap .45 is a game in which you and your fellow gunslingers shoot each other until there is only one cowboy left standing. If you back Slap .45 and Pirate Loot at the Gunner level or above, you will get bonus cards for both games! For Pirate Loot, you will receive a Gunslinger card. This mercenary can join any faction, even switching loyalty during the round. He adds 2 to the faction of your choice!

As of this posting, we are 2 WEEKS from the end of the Pirate Loot kickstarter and just over $3,600 from the $30K stretch goal! So close to 6 bonus Loot cards for every player! Support Pirate Loot and help us make a great game!

Pirate Loot Demo Deck

Sneak Peak of Final Card Design

We are well into the Pirate Loot Kickstarter and the response so far has been amazing! We are already over 65% funded and we are only in our second day! As thanks to everyone who has supported us, and even those considering supporting us, we would like to give you the chance to play Pirate Loot!

Below you will find two PDF files, one of which contains 48 Demo cards while the other contains a simple 2 page rules sheet for playing Pirate Loot!

Now before you grab them, we want to point out a few things. While these do have art and are laid out, they are not representative of what the final cards will look like. For a sneak peak at those, check out the image to the right. In addition, this demo deck only contains cards from 2 of the 4 factions in Pirate Loot (the Brutal and Clever factions) and a small assortment of Loot cards. Finally, when printing the cards, make sure that if you are doing two-sided printing that you set the binding to the short edge. This will ensure that the final sheet of cards prints correctly.
