D&D 5E OAR #8

[Parmandur]

Wonder why Lankhmar wasn’t an OAR. They obviously have the license.

They have the Lankhmar license, but the content of the old set is probably WotC property.

Well my OAR collection will have one gap, really no interest in this. As mentioned before, already have this Grimtooth’s Ultimate Traps Collection – PDF|Goodman Games Store

I was just reading my lost temple…

Wow. What a fun model for design’

I don't think enough people have fond memories of the TSR Lankhmar adventures. And WotC may hold the rights for the actual modules jointly with Lieber's estate.

I've heard good things about the city product..?

I do wonder if Goodman Games talked to the estate because they were thinking of revistiing the TSR Lankhmar stuff. That would have been interesting.

I think they might still do 5e Lankhmar stuff.

There's lots of stuff that's remembered fondly that probably isn't notable enough, and doesn't have an interesting enough history, to qualify for an OAR book. (How much more is there to say about Tomb of the Lizard King?)

I would love to see a big OAR-style hardcover set full of Lankhmar art and lore and such. Goodman could definitely do a big encyclopedia as part of their license, which would be useful for both DCC players and fans at large.

The small experimental book from earlier this year is excellent. I was iffy on some parts at first, but really came to like it. Strong recommendation for anyone using a Lankhmar-style city in their 5E games. (And frankly, pretty much every major RPG city lifts a ton from Lankhmar.)

I suspect WoTC holds the right to the old stuff but what Goodman Game used for their DCC Lankhmar boxed set would make a great OAR- Lankhamr reimagined or some such thing.

It was good. I just wish they gave 5E the full box set treatment.
