Pssst, don’t tell anyone, I bought some #DCC / #DnD / #OSR clone stuff. I heard some #Lankhmar adventures are quite nice?! If I will use them there will be no #d20 involved.

TL;DR: Musings on running a #BarbariansofLemuria #ttrpg mash-up with the Goodman Games #DCC #Lankhmar setting material.

I like the DCC modules for Lankhmar, but prefer the Savage Worlds system, so I've converted some of the DCC modules to #SavageWorlds

Adventures in Lankhmar – Converting DCC to Savage Worlds

Fritz Leiber’s Lankhmar stories are one of the principal influences on Dungeons & Dragons. The stories revolve around the adventures of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, a pair of roguish thief/warriors who wandered across the fantasy world of Newhon, but spent a lot of time in Lankhmar, a vast fantasy city. The gods of Lankhmar even appeared in the original AD&D Deities and Demigods.

Of all the Appendix N books, the Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories feel closest to what most RPG fantasy campaigns are really like – lowly adventurers encountering strange things, sometimes more than they can handle.

There have been a few RPG setting books designed to use Leiber’s setting. The first was Lankhmar: City of Adventure for AD&D. Mongoose had a Runequest setting book as well.

The most recent attempt was Goodman Games’ Lankhmar for their Dungeon Crawl Classics system. It’s well made, and well supported, with many adventures published. I recently picked up a big PDF set of their adventures over at Fanatical. It’s still available at the time of this posting.

My favorite version, however is Pinnacle’s Lankhmar for Savage Worlds. The pulpy Savage Worlds system just feels truer to the stories to me than the OSR style of DCC.

While Pinnacle has published a number of adventures for Lankhmar, there are still a lot more of the DCC ones available.

I thought I’d try my hand at converting some of the DCC adventures to Savage Worlds. To use these, you’ll need the original DCC adventures, The Savage Worlds rules (preferably SWADE – the latest version), and the Lankhmar Savage Worlds setting book.

I’ve converted stats to Savage Worlds, and suggested what mechanic in SW to use in place of the DCC rules. The files are in PDF format, but I’ve also included the original ODT (OpenOffice word processor files), if you want to create your own versions.

First, is DCCL 0 – No Small Crimes in Lankhmar

DCCL 1 – Gang Lords of Lankhmar

DCCL 3 – Acting Up In Lankhmar

I doubt I’ll get to all of the DCC modules, but I’ll add them as I convert them in future posts.

Just bought all of the DCC Lankhmar stuff over on Fanatical.

My intention is to convert it all to Savage Worlds Lankhmar and run it at the table.

Obviously, I'm never going to get around to any of that, but I do have the *intention*, and that's good enough for me.

@phf Eigenlicher Grund für DIY Hexpaper war, dass wir in der zweiten Hälfte des #osr Wochenendes, #Adnd spielen wollten, in Fritz Leibers #Lankhmar Setting - um uns ein bisschen mit der Periode auseinandersetzen, in der Setting und „Story“ eine größere Bedeutung gewinnen. Sind dann bei #odnd geblieben und hatten kein Hexpapier dabei. Unserer Referee hat dann in Windeseile die Hexmap erstellt, auf Grundlage des Outdoor Survival (1972) Spielplans.

I just snagged Tier 3 of some #dcc #lankhmar stuff and I cannot wait to dig in! https://www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/dungeon-crawl-classics-lankhmar-rpg-collection
