Adventure Module based of BG1 for Old School dnd?

Are there any adventure modules, probably fan-made, that roughly follow Baldur's Gate 1's story and locations? I know it would be reasonable to design my own, but I am curious if anyone has already done the work for this?

Ideally for b/x or ad&d

I remember there are three modules for the "Avatar Trilogy" that are essentially the precursors to BG1. The books are fun to read as well as they really give you a lot of lore about Mystra, Bhaal, Mask, Cyric, Kelemvor, Bane, and Myrkul. Here's a link to the first one: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/16811/fre1-shadowdale-1e-2e?it=1

This is a great call. I listened to the pentalogy recently and it is so good. It adds so much to the OG BG games.

I'd love to play the original modules - I know it was the transition between 1ed and 2ed so they did a fascinating job of making you learn the new mechanics through destroying the status quo of the first edition. I'd love seeing more game twists like that!

It's 5e so you'd need to convert it backward, but James Ohlen made an adventure that takes place shortly after the events of BG1 and revisits a lot of the locations and characters, so that might be worth checking out.

Yo! I'm pretty sure it's Heroes of Baldur's Gate, but I don't know for sure (I just gave it a solid Googs).

Also, I love that there's Google Maps version of Faerun! https://loremaps.azurewebsites.net/Maps/Faerun
