D&D 5E Best Third Party (not WotC) D&D Adventures?

3.5 you can often ad hoc it. You don't need to convert it in most cases.

The original Kingmaker AP volumes (6 in total) were released for Pathfinder 1e, which isn't really convertible to 5e. They also are hard to find and can be extremely expensive when you do. This Hardback was originally made for Pathfinder 2e which isn't compatible with 3.5 overall. It also is far more reasonably priced compared to the original AP volumes when you can find them. In addition, Kingmaker (or Abomination Vaults) are basically full on campaigns which can take you months, if not years, to complete.

Abomination Vaults was also originally made for Pathfinder 2e.

However, with the adaptations built into the actual volumes there, both can be run for 5e. In my opinion, though I'm not the biggest fan of their rules, Paizo currently is the king of Adventures and making them in general.

Aware I bought KM years ago and printed it. I've ra d pt 1 and 2 for 5E. I just used my book.

Alot of 3.5 adventures run better under 5E and there's lots of good ones mostly due to Paizo Dungeon era or Pathfinder APs.

Even actual 3.5 monsters I can often use as is with minor tweaks (ad hoc lower AC by 2, double HP a d maybe lower DCs to 10-15 range). At least low level stuff (1-7 or so).

And yeah Paizo is basically the gold standard.

I liked Tomb of Tiberish by Kobold Press.

Egyptian themed game few years back on Midgard.

If you like "Tomb of Tiberesh," I also recommend "Cat and Mouse," from the same setting. It's pretty clearly based on The Maltese Falcon.

Haven't read Maltese Falcon.

The Kobolds are the new Paizo imho.
