One of the coolest things Paizo did w/ Dungeon was bringing some old adventures back to life. I loved the Bargle stuff they did and the Lost City prequel. Among my friends, the only real D&D was AD&D stuff, but I was a fan of the OD&D modules and it's great seeing that I wasn't alone in that affection.
One of my favorite modules is Master of the Desert Nomads. As sort of a give-back to the community here, I thought it'd be interesting to share my work as I create a PF version of this old classic. This may not be the most appropriate thread to do so, however. But, if there's any interest, I'd be happy to share my progress as I work on this.

Great idea, but this should probably go in the "Conversions" subforum.
No problem, but I don't have much interest in a straight conversion. Part of the appeal of these old modules is that they're something of a half-blank slate, with which to invest any additional details you desire. It'll be fun overlaying the PF ruleset on top of all that.

I'm currently working (sort of halfheartedly) on updating, re-imagining, and converting B3 - Palace of the Silver Princess. I'm also pondering taking on the old Judges' Guild adventure Tegel Manor. In the past I took on N1 - Cult of the Reptile God.
Is this what you are talking about?

I played in a Dark Sun campaign for 2 1/2 years where the DM updated every single published module on the fly with a mixture of Dungeon/Dragon magazine updates and Athas.org updates, culminating in the unpublished Draegoth Ascending. It was the best campaign I ever played in, hands down.
This inspired me to do the same with Ravenloft, with the Grand Conjunction adventures, including character creation via tarokka reading. I plan on running that once I finish running the game I am at the moment.
I have a compilation book that contains B1-B9 of the original Basic D&D set and worked out the modifications for my group. They were such well written modules that I couldn't bear letting them go unused when we switched up to 3.0.
