What has nine eyes, five tentacles, a thirst for human flesh, and is coming down the alleyway? I don’t know either, but I think it’s a good idea to run…

So its some Lankhmar 5e, but not that much.

I wonder if it would make it easier to use there DCC products?

In any case, a 5e version of the boxed set would be really good.

If you wan't more pledge to the fund and if it's successful it might prompt them to make more. (probably will).

Anyone know if these are just new/more spells, or are they going to actually change the spell system in 5e to make it more “Lankhmar”, which has always been more S&S and less blasty/magic all the time for everything?

… and if they keep magic mostly as-is, will they still convert the cleric into a white mage?

Looks like just new spells. It's only a 20-24 page book.

I think you can subscribe to it without pledging and ask a question. I think.

Well, I have made my first IndieGoGo pledge.

They said on YouTube that this is just the first planned Lankhmar 5E book. They're just seeing if there's interest.

Given that Lankhmar is the template for all big sprawling corrupt fantasy cities (Goodman is underselling it, honestly; everyone has just been ripping off Lankhmar forever), I'm intending to use this with my Ptolus game, just sanding off the names.

I'm hoping this does well enough that we'll see a similar book for Dying Earth. Monte Cook's got nothing on me for loving wizard stuff.
