I'm getting ready to startup a new Pathfinder game and was looking over my old 1982 Desert of Desolation series - does anyone have or can point me to a pathfinder Conversion of this or something I can load into Fantasy Grounds? Otherwise, I'm just going to have to rewrite and convert the whole thing by hand. Though I can't believe that no one has done this already. It's always been one of my favorite level 5-9 adventure for new players.

I'm not aware of anything like this for Fantasy Grounds. Even if it was done, copyright would still be in effect for the material and so couldn't be legally shared.

You can download PDFs of the old modules on Drive-Thru RPG. That would make it easier to transfer some of the art and text. As for rules, I don't think it was ever converted to 3rd edition, at least not officially.

There is a "Dunes of Desolation" by Frog God Games

As that ever been loaded into Fantasy Grounds? I'm thinking of picking up the PDF and converting it in since its already Pathfinder.

The truth is - I am in search of a great adventure for some young mostly girls 5th level players. I need to avoid anything that can get bloody so I am focusing on undead mystery adventures - things with good dungeon crawls that would be fun and not to hard - with puzzles and mysteries to solve. If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears as I want it to be great - as its the first run for some of these girls - and there are experienced players also in the group.

It's more than half desert sourcebook, with 3 scenarios (5th, 8th and 12th level). Read the review here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product_reviews_info.php?&reviews_id=141254&products_id=175052

Nope. These are the current Frog God Games conversions: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/?sys=-1&pub=36&typ=-1&search=&sort=1

Thanks I read the review earlier - which makes me wonder if its any good.

I'm looking for a recommendation for a good 5th level adventure path for a group of girls who are eager but new to pathfinder - minimizing blood and maximizing mystery and puzzle solving - dungeon crawls etc.

Any thoughts from anyone?

Full Bleed,

You beat me to it...

I ran that one several years back and it wasn't bad at all... so a conversion over to PF should only take a couple of hours.

Good luck, Falantrius

I could recommend any of the adventures on Playground Adventures for mystery and puzzles.
