Making an Osirion Pseudo-AP


Mummy's Mask

RPG Superstar 2008 Top 32

One of the first quest-books I was exposed to when I started roelplaying twenty-three years ago was the AD&D Pharoah. My Dad has cadged a load of modules from an oppo at his work for me to look through, so I could see how other people did it. (I started my roleplaying career in large isolation - AD&D was not only not my fiest, but a distant third...!)

It stuck with me ever since. I bought the module in hard-cover one day when I saw it at local gaming store, and later bought the Desert of Desolation pdf that combined the whole campaign. For years it has sat, awiting conversion and running.

Now, as I start finally running my first AP and have become a full-fledged fan of Golarion, I am now debating as convert it, rather than to me own psuedo-Egyptian country (which would have required a lot more monster replacement, since my own homebrew world tossed aside the entire 3.x bestiary and re-imaged from scratch). Further, with the Great Golem Sale, I picked up Emtombed with the Pharoahs and Pact Stone Pyramid. And, as I was cataloguing my modules - largely due to the twelve Dungeon issues that I recently bought Age of Worms with - I discovered I also had the PF society module The third Riddle.

Thought occured that I nearly have enough to be making my own psuedo-AP... or perhaps to drastically expand Mummy's Mask (which I will be getting as soon as it comes out!) into some sort of uber-AP!

So, then, the question is, are there any other PF society modules, regular modulles etc etc that are set in Osirion (or close enough!) Third-party modules would be exceptable if they could be comfortably hammered into Osirion. (Given the nature of the mutant hybird rules I play, edition - and perhaps even rules - is irrelevant, since both 3.5 and PF requrie conversion work - and would in the base-case scenarios anywya, since I run for eight characters!)


Necromancer Games has Gary gygax's Necropolis which is an egyptian themed super module.

Green Ronin had Hamunaptra as a D&D Egypt setting but I forget if that came with any adventures in the Egyptian sourcebooks. I think there was a Freeport Hamunaptra tie-in online free pdf module.

Basic D&D had Nithia in the Hollow World but I forget if there were any adventures for there.

AD&D and 3e had the Forgotten Realms Edyptian Ancient Kingdoms realms that included an Egyptian one.


Pharaoh (I3) is my favorite module of all time. They have a hard-cover copy? I've always wanted to obtain the original (non-TSR) version but it's too expensive. My copy signed by Tracy Hickman is one of my most prized RPG possessions. So looking forward to Mummy's Mask!

The Exchange

I highly recommend checking out "Entombed with the Pharaohs" and "The Pact Stone Pyramid" by Paizo. They are 3.5 modules but conversion shouldn't be too bad.

The first of this couple is one of the most popular Paizo modules of all time, and for good reason - it's an imaginative, complex adventure story of racing against a rival party to find and explore a hidden pyramid. The second adventure is related to the first - it has another pyramid and another rival expedition (this time not a party of adventurers but a full blown operation), but the new pyramid is every bit as crazy and has even more unusual traps and neat encounters.

Together, the two make for a very nice Osirion mini campaign, I feel.
