Recently I upgraded my home computer... but imagine my chagrin when I realized that literally hundreds of hours of work put into converting 1e/2e adventures to 3.5 and Pathfinder hadn't been properly backed up, and are now gone. Yeah, I know it's my fault, but if any of the Paizo community to whom I've sent past conversions would be willing to send them back to me, it would be greatly appreciated.
Specifically, I'm hoping that the people to whom I sent my...
...could send copies back, if you've still got them. Completed, play-ready Pathfinder conversions of Dwellers in the Forbidden City, Tamoachan, and others, I'll just have to learn to live without.

Damn Kirth, I feel your pain!

Are we talking formatted hard drive or that the registry hive is now updated for a new file system and you can't locate the old files any more?
There are ways of recovering such stuff, and I'm not talking about paying someone to go over your hdd with a fine electronic tooth comb either.

OUCH!! I'm really sorry man. That sucks. I have been there before and hope to NEVER be there again. Here's hoping you're able to update your stuff with a lot of help and a minimum of headache.

I'll see what I can do!
I know I've got two of the campaign conversions in question.
Can't say more, as Dazylar is my player!
I may still want to surprise him with the <cough>DELETED<cough>, and the <cough>DELETED<cough> from <cough>DELETED<cough>!
Not to mention, the <cough>DELETED<cough>, from <cough>DELETED<cough> could be responsible for his father's <cough>DELETED<cough>!
And the <cough>DELETED<cough>, from <cough>DELETED<cough> could track them down, once they uncover the <cough>DELETED<cough>!
Damn, that sucks Kirth. Wish I had 'em to send back.
I assume all the stuff that isn't GMs-eyes-only, like the conversions of 3.5 classes and feats is OK? I assume that between Derek, Silverhair, Jess and the rest, there's plenty of copies floating round Houston?

Cool. I'm still at egoldma (at) sbcglobal (dot) net.
Just got 'em! Thanks, brother. The zipping was a challenge to unload, but ultimately worked -- but no matter, the plain docs came through without a hitch as well.
I definitely owe you one -- let me know what I can send to pay you back!
