    Pulpy TSR Modules

    I was trying to find a list of some of the pulpiest modules that TSR produced that might fit, with modification, into Hyperborea Campaign. Here is a small list. Have I missed any?

    B2 Keep on the Borderlands
    B4 The Lost City
    C1 The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan
    I1 Dwellers of the Forbidden City
    I2 Tomb of the Lizard King 
    I3-5 Desert of Desolation
     I7 Baltron's Beacon
    N1 Against the Cult of the Reptile God
    S1 Tomb of Horrors
    S3 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks
    S4 The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth
    U1 The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh
    U2 Danger at Dunwater
    UK6 All That Glitters...
    WG4 The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun
    WG6 Isle of the Ape
    X1 The Isle of Dread

    Not sure you missed any, All could be a good fit...

    I especially believe the Barrier Peaks would be a great fit because of Wierd Science...

    Good list. I think you could take basically any old school adventure, maybe trade out some of the monsters, and make it work.

    Another suggestion I've made in the past is to take Call of Cthulhu adventures and reskin for Hyperborea. Your players will never expect it.

    Some of the Judges Guild stuff, too. Caverns of Thracia is a great fit.

    CB1 - Conan Unchained!; CB2 - Conan Against Darkness; and RS1 - Red Sonja Unconquered. I think you've about covered the rest, plus some that aren't normally considered astonishingly pulpy. Maybe some of the 2e adventures, though those tended to be very story-based and would probably need some work to make them fit, even beyond just Hyperborea-izing them. Some of the sample Jakandor adventures might work (although Jakandor would probably work pretty good with Hyperborea in general).

    Well, some S&S adventures if one want to convert to Hyperborean from a few sources...
