For those of you who are not familiar, Fritz Leiber is a classic swords-and-sorcery author who created the heroes Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser in the 1930's. His work is cited in the older-edition rulebooks (so-called Appendix N) as a significant inspiration for D&D. Wikipedia has a nice entry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lankhmar) on the setting, which fits very closely with the DCC RPG aesthetic and tone.

Check it out... We need more DCC RPG enthusiasts here! :D

How is this possible? Pinnacle Entertainment Group announced a Savage Lankhmar back in August.

Interesting... Don't know, but Goodman Games already has the first adventure for sale on their website, so I guess the license is not exclusive. It's a cool setting for either system.

Oooh, I have all the original TSR releases for the Lankhmar setting for AD&D 1e including the excellent Lankhmar City of Adventure module. Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser return! It'll be quite interesting to see if/how GG expand the setting.

Yeah apparently both Goodman Games and Pinnacle Entertainment group will share the license for Lankhmar. Here's the flyer for the Savage Worlds version.

Whoa, that's cool. I might have to learn Savage Worlds now!
