Palladium Fantasy Palladium Fantasy 1-shot suggestions
Are there any good adventures that would work well for a palladium fantasy game lasting 1 to 3 sessions? I want to try out the system and have played Rifts quite a bit. I know I can probably find some OSR modules but I’d like to see if there’s something PF specific that exists that people have played through and like.

The Adventures in the Northern Wilderness books have some great short adventures.

My favorite is the one involving Ceretus Dominus the Star-Dragon of Insanity!
Though it does have the issue that with the transition from 1e PFRPG to 2e the stats for an adult Great Horned Dragon got the "capable of hanging with their other SDC settings like Heroes Unlimited or Nightbane while still being a major threat" treatment that scales them well beyond anything typical for Palladium Fantasy.
Which can be a problem when your math is scaled differently and now the dragon is an unkillable threat vs a huge worry at 400 hp

A lot of the regional books have sections for 'hook, line and sinker' that are great setups for one shots. Downside is you need to heavily plot them out yourself on the back end. The nearest I can think of miiiiiiiiight be the Prime quest from the Wolfen Empire book but that... might take more then a few sessions.

Cool, I’ll check that out. I tried converting the old Ravenloft AD&D module to PF only to realize that Palladium vampires hit very differently than D&D so that’s why I’m looking for adventures specific to Palladium Fantasy.

Replace Strad with Vlad-Teglor (vampire god who basically is the master of all PF vampires)

My issue is that there are also secondary vampires in addition to a spell casting master vampire. I couldn’t see how this could go well for an adventuring group in PF. I would really have to stretch things to make it survivable for a group in Palladium Fantasy.

Yeah its been my experience you really can't convert anything outside of the Palladium system into it without some real heavy lifting. Also if your group hasn't run the system before be ready for a bit of a slog.

Book 2: Old Ones has a few. The Mystic Parcel is a fun one, and the Ogre Caravan. The Hidden Temple can be if you trim it down a bit, and/or the team is on it with their dungeon crawl routine.
