Exist there conversions for either of these publications? Since Advanced Bestiary is a book of templates, is it alright to play pretty much as is? I hear there's going to be a kickstarter goal reward conversion of Dead Man's chest, but will it be available commercially eventually?
To my knowledge, Advanced Bestiary has never been updated for Pathfinder. Most of the templates should work as is, but you may want to ask around to see what rule-fu is necessary to convert some of them.
As for Dead Man's Chest, as a backer of Razor Coast, I can tell you it is still being converted and worked on. Even the backers have not received pdf copies of it yet. While I can't be sure, I saw nothing in the KS that indicated it is an exclusive, so I'm pretty sure it will be available commercially at some point (and backing up that hunch is they've started to release separately some of the pdfs that were part of the KS for Razor Coast on RPGNOW).
Soon the players of Pathfinder will be able to curse Bonjo-Tombo!
A Pathfinder update of the Advanced Bestiary was a stretch goal of the recent Freeport Pathfinder Kickstarter project. That goal was not met, but Chris Pramas of Green Ronin indicated that if the Freeport book did well, a Kickstarter for converting the Advanced Bestiary was almost certain (note the "almost", please - no one has promised anything yet).
If you have HeroLab, a number of the templates have been converted in the Community support files, for use in the bestiaries for the APs.
Paizo has modified some templates in their in-house conversions for their own use, so it will be interesting to see how these match up with any possible future official conversion.
