D&D 5E Paizo's 'The Abomination Vaults' Pathinder AP Coming to 5E

Paizo is set to release one of its adventure paths--The Abomination Vaults--for D&D 5E in November. The AP will be compiled as a hardcover and retail for $59.99. There will also be a Pathfinder 2E version of the hardcover.

The 3-part adventure path was originally released for Pathfinder 2E in early 2021, and is a big dungeon crawl adventure.

When the mysterious Gauntlight, an eerie landlocked lighthouse, glows with baleful light, the people of Otari know something terrible is beginning. Evil stirs in the depths of the Abomination Vaults, a sprawling dungeon where a wicked sorcerer attempted to raise an army of monsters hundreds of years ago. The town's newest heroes must venture into a sprawling dungeon filled with beasts and traps to prevent a spiteful spellcaster from rising again!

This complete compilation of the original Adventure Path campaign has been adapted to the newest version of the world’s oldest RPG. You’ve heard about the quality and depth of Pathfinder campaigns for years—now explore the Abomination Vaults yourself without having to learn a new game system!

I didnt run the AP, only played the first book. I assume there is a time limit so...

My players are also notoriously thick-headed and might miss such a sign-post in their desire for loots. One of my players has been the descendent of an ancient paladin this whole time, and I've hit him on the head with the plot three times thus far...and nothing. At all.

I'm hoping they do this with the rest of the adventure paths, like Extinction's Curse and all that.

I hear ya, AV AP is sign post city for GMs to run FYI.

Has many of the PF1 era APs been converted? Id be more interested in those.

I'm not sure. I never played PF 1E or 2E.

I was a big player in the PF1 era.

I recommend:
Kingmaker
Carrion Crown
Iron Gods
Jade Regent
Mummy's Mask
War for the Crown

The timing for a 5e mega dungeon probably couldn’t be better. Nice move. I’m interested!

From reading the comments, it sounds like this conversion was done in-house. Do we know if that’s true? That would be a change from the way Paizo handled the Kingmaker 5e conversion.

Kingmaker 10th Anniversary had a conversion to 5th Edition project funded via GameOnTabletop. Currently slated for a release in September to backers.

Converted to What?

They updated Rise of the Runelords and Curse of the Crimson Throne from 3.5 to PF1e.

They (if they will ever release it) converted Kingmaker to hardback for PF2e (I believe) and they offered conversions for PF1e and 5e (though I THINK you had to get the kickstarter for those, and they won't be sold at retail, so kickstarter supporters only). It still hasn't been released though...so...no idea if it will get released soon or not. Could be Abomination Vaults hardcover compilation comes out first.

Other than that, I don't know any other conversions of their adventures that THEY have done. Others have done things, but not Paizo that I'm aware of.
