RETROSPECTIVE: Ill Met in Lankhmar by Fritz Leiber So… maybe not much new this time, but my mind is certainly blown. I’m not even sure yet what the implications of that are, but I think there is a signal here that really deserves to be boosted. Just sayin’.) But really… I wasn’t near as far out on a limb as I was thinking when I was writing this one.Īnd I should’t be surprised, but the basic tempo of my game sessions really is identical to those of other gamers that simply picked up nearly any edition of D&D and ran with it. (I don’t think anyone cares, but I do have session reports to back up my points. Hopefully my piece will reach a wider audience than some of the stuff that is written more or less “for gamers only.” And hopefully I take some of the points a bit deeper. It’s almost scary how much everyone agrees on this work. With this week’s retrospective, my efforts basically just serve as an independent confirmation of what just about any game blogger could tell you. (That’s what it feels like when there are practically no other posts on a given book.) You know, I kind of like covering some of the more obscure and under-appreciated Appendix N books because I have more of a chance to sort of “break” a story. ![]()
