The last in the CA series of Lankhmar set adventures, this module brings together 3 adventures set in the City of Adventure, with some cameos (Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, of course) and a stellar group of adventure creators. Ken Rolston would eventually be the lead designer for a couple of little games called Elder Scroll: Morrowind and Oblivion. Curiously the Lead Designer for Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, Bruce Nesmith, is also a TSR alum that we have mentioned before and will again. I suppose that just shows the D&D pedigree of the Elder Scrolls series.
A bunch of fun little adventures then, set in a well fleshed out world, with quite a lot of accessory material, some of which I will post here tomorrow, so stay tuned! There’s a bunch of maps, including a really good full color map of Lankhmar for you to appreciate.
There weren’t that many modules set in Lankhmar, although TSR would keep supporting the setting well into the 1990s, with new versions of the main campaign setting coming out for future editions of the game. Unfortunately, even with its literary pedigree as set in the world of the successful Fritz Leiber books, it would never be as popular as other D&D settings such as Greyhawk, Mystara, Dragonlance or the upcoming Forgotten Realms.
