I’m a huge fan of Leiber’s stories and seeing this product brought me to DCC. As for not having read the stories and being unclear where to start, the beauty of all the Fafhrd and Gray Mouser stories is that they’re all unconnected one-shots since they were written for magazines and kept short and punchy. You can kind of read the stories “in order” or not worry about it.
If you can get it there is also a great Mike Mignola Comic based on Lankhmar and its awesome
Perfect for one shot games as well, with skills and small story elements that carry forward.
@@dicewrites it's indeed excellent. I have it and I've read it a few times. I'm currently trying to collect all the Centipede Press illustrated hardcovers of the original stories. I have Volume 4 right now and I'm waiting for reasonably priced copies of the others to come up for sale on eBay.
You absolutely rock for covering this setting. It's one of the most interesting cities ever. Especially the Gods of Lankhmar (spooky as hell and original). Exceptionally memorable.
This should be a show or movies.
You probably already thought of this. Sorry if I missed it, but Lankh (Long/Deep) Mar (Sea/Water). It's the original basis (cognate even) for Waterdeep.
🤯
I've heard talk about Lankhmar for decades, but nobody ever said anything that actually made me interested in the setting until now. You rock, dude.
woo! I think if you read a novel or two the setting will spark your interest to run a campaign.
Lankhmar has been one of the most memorable games that I have DM’d and that my players reference all the time. Thank you for this review! 🍀
Glad you enjoy it!
DCC is my Favorite DnD book ever
I'm reading "Swords and devilry" right now and it's so good!
The books are awesome!
Leiber's Fafhrd And The Gray Mouser stories are among my favorites of all time; I would love to play in a DCC Lankhmar setting
I don't play DCC, but these videos are fun to watch and learn about the old school style of TTRPG.
I was super pleased to see this in my DCC warehouse clearing box!
We've been playing for a year. We've played through many of the modules from Goodman. I adore the Luck mechanics, especially since I play the Thief and I'm rolling a d7 for every Luck I spend. I really love that Carousing replenishes Luck. Perfect for Lankhmar, and pretty much perfect for most fantasy settings. One of our wizards ended up with 125 children because of a Carousing check. He had relations with someone who wasn't what she appeared to be. One of my favorite moments was in the Greatest Thieves of Lankmar was the Stadler and Waldorf bit after the rooftop chase scene. 'Nuf said. Goodman really respected the original material and did an outstanding job in making the game fun. I know they will treat the Dying Earth with equal care and creativity.
I've been a huge Lankhmar and Leiber fan for over 4 decades. And I was today years old when I found out you pronounce his name LAI-br, not LEE-br (yes, I looked it up).
BTW, it's still in print (yes, the boxed set). Also the Greatest Thieves of Lankhmar boxed set.
I Remember reading about Lankhmar ditties in the original Dieties and Demi Gods. The opening went something along the lines is...There are God's of Lankhmer and God's in Lankhmar. There was a street that was Temple row for the God's in Lankhmar and your place on that row depended on the amount of followers you had so you could be bumped down if one gained more followers than you had. At the end of the row was a big building housing the God's of Lankhmar, the protecters of the city. These could be called on in times of extreme need. Those God's also reminded the citizens before they went back in to not call on them to often.
You couldnt have picked a better timing! They are doing a rerelease of the boxed set haha!
nice! I saw it was back in stock on Goodman Games website. :D
@@JocularJunction I asked them as well, and it sounds like they want to rerelease several other boxed sets such as Peril on the Purple Planet! Im stoked haha!
Long time fan of DCC. Great video. Can't wait for your take on The Chained Coffin
Thanks again for the excelent video! I just bought and started reading my first DCC book
I got to play in lankmar twice. Uncle was a huge fan
I'm running a campaign right now! Absolutely love it. Reminds me of Baldurs gate 2, so much freedom to explore a bizarre and unique city. I'm running it's on Foundry VTT, I've converted most of the modules, and will be running the KS modules. My main aim is to make a sandbox, with adventure hooks from different adventure modules and place them around the city, so players choose what to do next, according to what rumours they hear. I'm on the goodman games discord for more info...
I love city campaign setting books. I have no trouble running dungeons but city campaign prep is hard. Other great city campaign books are things like "The Blight" from Frog God Games and City State of the Invincible Overload, originally by Judges Guild and rereleased by Necromancer Games (also there was a kickstarter for a reboot recently?). Anyways, they're great for the same reasons Jorphdan outlined. Guilds, NPCs, lots of detail that I just don't have the time to build myself.
I just got my copy of this. It is nice and convenient this video came out so recently!
Came for the Faerûn/5e content, stayed for the OSR stuff! Jorphdan is the best❤
I just got this after watching your video! Can’t wait to run this.
Fantastic!
Funny enough I was just looking through this setting, because I was wanting to get something a little less gonzo than the traditional DCC setting. Great video btw.
Thanks!
It's awesome for Sword and Sorcery games
“Two sought adventure “ is when they get together. “How about 60 60” .
Interestingly, my father has an old AD&D box set for Lankhmar. Also, his old water deep boxes set is similar to what you said you'd like to see.
I'm hoping to run Lankhmar for my next DCC campaign. Maybe next year.
Lankhmar is not based on Tortuga, but in the city of Sevilla, in Spain, in the XVI Century, when it was the center of comerce of the Spanish Empire. And, of course, Waterdeep is based on Lankhmar.
True. And Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser are influenced by the Picaresca novels of XVI and XVII century in Spain, following the adventures and disadventures of all kind of rogues, things, etc.
I believe Mike Mignola has illustrated a grey mouser graphic novel
That would be awesome!
Have you read any more of the Lankhmar stories? I read the Dying Earth stories and I just finished the Swords Against Death. Dungeon Crawl Classics has really got me reading a lot more of Appendix N.
If you can find yourself a copy of the Mike Mignola run of the Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser comic, do yourself a favor and buy it.
I saw the Newhon Ghoul on the cover and I have one question: Can you play as one?
No rules for it yet, but you could try a reskinned Warrior (as the ghouls in The Swords of Lankhmar seemed to be) or make something up.
Thanks for the review. How do you feel that DCC works for small parties (say, one or two players) (like a Fafhrd and Grey Mouser party)?
haven't tried it myself but I think it could work. Maybe have a companion of some kind to assist?
My favourite would be 'The Cloud of Hate', kind of a roll call of the worst of the worst of Lankhmar's underbelly.
(BTW there was only the one Lankhmar novel ['The Swords of Lankhmar'], the rest were books of collected short stories)
And even that one started life as a long shorts story, or perhaps a short novella depending on where you draw lines between the two.
Mouse-er not Mou-zer. He’s a stealthy rat catching cat.
19:55 These character ideas sound... Abserd, yes, although they would be doing the much helping and being the very useful, yes.
I’m still trying to find people to try it out more for foundry because that tabletop simulator is great for DCC
My plan is to convert adventures to like action project rise of the riselords to DCC
I just struggle on how much gold and items I should reward them in the system I don’t want to make it too much but I still wanted to feel rewarding
I played this my character was a fairy spy for Oberon sent to fight vampires.
Would you say vanilla DCC or Lankhmar would be the best for trying to lure 5e players over to DCC?
Probably regular DCC. There are more classes.
It's a tough call, I'd say read the room. If they're fans of the Lankhmar books this would be a great introduction.
Just found your channel and love the videos. I've never read any Lankhmar books and the setting doesn't really excite me from what I learned about it. Are you planning to do a Hubris review?
I could go through Hubris! I'll add it to my list of topics.
I am always afraid of those big setting books with tons of new rules and a whole new world to read about. What I like from DCC is those short precise Adventure booklets and rather easy approach. How does this box set feel, is it as overwhelming as old and new dnd setting books with tons of "fluff"?
Lankhmar!
Have you used or checked out the DCC Class Alphabet?
Hmm, I don't think so. I'll Google it
What they should have is a priesthood and the main power you get as a priest is social power meaning religious societies such as when the Christian church took over the moment Empire the bishops were top of the food chain often in the society or they how are they all they wielded a lot of power in the same way that a lot of captains of industry do in the capitalist socialist or socialist elite do in a in a socialist system is the system so social power is a huge part of being a priest and they should have added that to langmar so that you can join the priesthood as any class
What a weird opening. Name-dropping characters and places from Fritz Leiber's fiction makes me think of Fritz Leiber's fiction, not some DCC spinoff. If I was going to think of a gaming product it'd be either the Deities & Demigods book or TSR's later Nehwon products.
If you think Leiber is an early fantasy author you really need to read more. Go look at Clark Ashton Smith and CL Moore and her husband Henry Kuttner for starters. That'll take you about another generation back, anyway.
