Not sure if there's an actual conversion board out there, but I'm finding myself reading through a lot of older Dungeon magazines with 1st and 2nd edition adventures, and many are actually better than some of the 3e ones I've read. That being said, sometimes some monsters just aren't converted over the course of the systems getting updated. In this particular case, the shadow goblin. It's basically a half-goblin half-drow mongrel. I first learned about them in the adventure I'm trying to convert, The Spider Farm. It's the first in a trilogy of adventures (The Spider Farm, The Melford Murder, Shrine of the Oracle).
The crawling corpse was basically updated in Pathfinder with the Torso Monster template. I still haven't found the scuttler spider (confusion spell instead of poison) or the cave worms (tiny purple worms that can be cooked and eaten). I might just homebrew the scuttler as a regular spider with the lesser confusion spell, and just make the cave worms a really young purple worm with less hd. Something tells me I won't be able to do the same thing with the shadow goblin though.
So the shadow goblin also worships Lolth, and have the same dark skin, yellow eyes, and white hair as a drow (but will dye it black or purple for better camouflage), but are goblinoid. They're between 3'6 and 4' tall. They have a bite attack for 1d3, and act as a 1st level rogue (sneak attack 1d6). They have darkvision and are light sensitive. They wear light armor, usually a combination of metal and leather with bracers, depending on their status (read chieftans and females). They have 1d8 humanoid HD. There's anywhere between 4 to 24 (wandering band), or 10-120 (in lair). They have 30 ft movement, and highly dextrous and stealthy. The fact that they're small size probably helps. They prefer to fight with two weapons. Usually a dagger and short sword. They're also proficient with short bows. Advancing in HD allows them to go up as a rogue. Males prefer to go up as wizards (60% illusionists) and females prefer wearing metal armor and going up as clerics of Lolth. Females also choose to have higher wisdom than males for purposes of extra spells. They have their own language which sounds like undercommon, but also like goblin. Shadow goblins with a higher intelligence know Common. As for SLA, they have minor ones, as well as low spell resistance. They are usually NE. Treasure is standard. It says that shadow goblins SHOULD have DEX 16 or higher.
So here's the run down. Let me know your thoughts. If you think you can do a better job, by all means go to
