This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

All this talk of the Lankhmar supplement reminds me i DID actually own it many years ago.
I even ran it for a bit. i remember casters were very limited and had extended casting times etc.

Of course i lost my copy in one of my many moves...

However I just found a copy on ebay and bought it lol.  Will be nice to look  back on old memories

Quote from: Mike the Mage;1056448I agree. They did their best to make AD&D reflect the genre with what little space they had. I note that Dom's Fantastic Heroes & Witchery has a Black and White magic stsem that may have been inspired by that very set of rules in the magic system.

My first love however, is the street by street district description,s the random housing block designs and all the great tools.

It was way ahead of its time and still is to a certain extent.

Yes it was.

I don't know if FH&W was inspired by Lankhmar or if Dominique Crouzet thought it up himself. It's an interesting question.
