No Small Crimes in Lankhmar (D&D)! Beginners welcome!
Dungeons & Dragons 5e, Dungeon Crawl Classics | Campaign
About the adventure
The legendary city of Lankhmar, where the shadows hold secrets, thieves walk with kings, and danger lurks around every corner is a gritty, urban fantasy created by Fritz Leiber. You’ll explore a world brought to life through the rich legacy books, adventures and official boxed sets. Battle members of the city’s nefarious Thieves’ Guild in fog-shrouded alleys. Barter for cursed curios in the Plaza of Dark Delights. Seek the wisdom of Ningauble of the Seven Eyes and Sheelba of the Eyeless Face! All this and more is possible in the classic sword-and-sorcery experience of Lankhmar. Experience an adventure teeming with swashbuckling action, cunning heists, and eldritch magic! Navigate the cutthroat streets, battle ancient evils! The game is listed for D&D and DCC. Look for the session that matches your preferred game system. Contact me for additional times and day slots for your group. Let's play!
Players will loot, steal and carve their own legends into the annals of the city of Lankhmar. Each week will introduce a new heist or situation that arises as the players pursue the good life… This is a biweekly campaign which will start 16 April and run every two weeks thereafter. The first heist has the players independently arriving at Glulditch Court, a lonely cul-de-sac situated between the Rich Men’s Quarter and the Crafts Quarter. The target: a house on a dead-end street overlooked by most...some might say a street forgotten by the city. Glulditch Court is empty and the sounds of traffic on nearby Silver Street is muted. You feel you can approach the home undetected... The three-story, narrow stone building has clearly been abandoned. The wooden boards over its shuttered windows are weathered. The chains and locks securing the doors are rusted. Dead ornamental bushes flank the steps. The alley is strewn with broken tiles fallen from the steep roof. Strangely, the third floor lacks any windows, presenting a solid stone façade to the court below.
