ffuturesDCC Lankhmar (from April 2021)
https://bundleofholding.com/presents/2023DCCLankhmar
This revived April 2021 DCC Lankhmar Bundle is one of two offers in progress featuring Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG adventures in the licensed DCC Lankhmar setting from Goodman Games based on the Fritz Leiber stories of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. Start with this revival, which has the original DCC Lankhmar boxed campaign set and early adventures (plus the DCC RPG Quick Start rules). The all-new companion offer, Lankhmar Thieves, adds recent modules such as the sprawling 164-page tournament adventure The Greatest Thieves in Lankhmar.
Fritz Leiber (1910-1992) chronicled the adventures of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser for more than 50 years. (To describe these stories, Leiber coined the term "sword and sorcery.") From their home base in the City of Seven-Score Thousand Smokes, Lankhmar, the two rogues gallivant across their fantastic realm of Nehwon. Fafhrd, a tall and brawny northern barbarian, is a warlock in service to the wizard Ningauble of the Seven Eyes. The small and nimble Mouser, a mercurial thief, was once apprenticed to Sheelba of the Eyeless Face. Through three dozen picaresque stories that range widely in tone, the two peerless swordsmen perfectly model the typical D&D player character. No wonder one of TSR's first products was Leiber's Lankhmar board game, and AD&D 2E had a well-regarded line of Lankhmar - City of Adventure supplements.
Authorized by the Leiber estate, Goodman Games funded the Dungeon Crawl Classics Lankhmar line in a March 2017 Kickstarter campaign (1,838 backers, US$187K). The 2018 boxed set expands the DCC RPG rules to match the tone of Leiber's most exciting stories. A new "Fleeting Luck" mechanic lets good fortune bless your characters one minute, only to dash their hopes the next. Goodman has followed up with a typically strong support line of many Lankhmar modules, as well as several interesting blog posts about Fritz Leiber and his work.
We provide each title complete in .PDF. Like all Bundle of Holding titles, these ebooks have NO DRM (Digital Restrictions Management), and our customers are entitled to move them freely among all their devices. (By publisher request, the DriveThruRPG versions of these files are inobtrusively watermarked.)
Ten percent of each purchase (after gateway fees) of these two Lankhmar offers goes to the charity designated by Goodman Games owner Joseph Goodman, the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank. For more than 30 years the SF-Marin Food Bank has worked to end hunger in the San Francisco Bay Area, where one in four neighbors is at risk of hunger.
The total retail value of the titles in this revived April 2021 DCC Lankhmar Bundle is US$103. Customers who pay just US$14.95 get both titles in this revived offer's Starter Collection (retail value $47) as DRM-free ebooks: the massive Dungeon Crawl Classics Lankhmar boxed set (retail price $40) and the introductory adventure Gang Lords of Lankhmar (retail $7). We also include the DCC Quick Start Rules.
Those who pay more than this revived offer's threshold (average) price, which is set at $24.95 to start, also get this revival's entire Bonus Collection with eight more titles (retail $7 each) worth an additional $56, including The Land of Eight Cities, A Dozen Lankhmar Locations, The Fence's Fortuitous Folly, Acting Up in Lankhmar, Grave Matters, Rats of Ilthmar, Violence for Votishal, and the aptly titled Blasphemy and Larceny in Lankhmar.

Last time I said "in a lot of ways the system seems to be a reversion to the earliest years of RPGs, when adventurers did nothing but break down doors and smash heads, sometimes described as the "murder hobo" style of play. The presentation is a bit basic, and seems to be trying to sell even more weird dice than most players already own. I can't really see any special saving graces. But if you want the system this is a cheap way to buy it!" I don't really see any reason to change that.
