Ich bin gerade dabei den letzten Teil von Robert Asprins & Lynn Abbeys #Freistadt fertig zu lesen (c) 1989. Ich noch nicht mal mit der #schule fertig, als es auf deutsch herauskam (2004). Gemeint ist das hier:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thieves%27_World

Es gab tatsächlich auch mal einen #DND -Kasten zur #thievesworld . Irgendwie war alte #Fantasy noch "Kratziger", die Schurken fieser und die Bettler ärmer.

Latest read, The Gate of the Flying Knives (1979) by Poul Anderson, from the anthology Thieves' World, Book 1.
The bard Cappen Varra seeks to rescue his love from a winged demon that has spirited her, and her Lady, to another dimension.
Charming to read this very D&D-esqe, Sword and Sorcery adventure again.
Playful material, smartly written.

@Morgunin Good Morning, I was only into #ThievesWorld. As a Grim N Gritty Edgelord prototype I had no time for jokes and fun.
There was always another throat to cut - even the ones of other player characters.

Of course, I am not exaggerating a bit! Smiley.

Good Morning, meet me at the #VulgarUnicorn!

Woke up with #ThievesWorld on my mind. This fantasy world has occupied our imagination back in Eighties (#KillingJoke anyone?) quite a bit. We pillaged ideas from the books like a monster horde.
Beside the obvious official adaptions by #Chaosium and #GreenRonin many #ttrpg games took inspiration from this shared world. I prefer this over #bladesinthedark …
Back then, the creative impact was huge (for us).

I'm taking all of the characters from the 1981 boxed Thieves' World setting, and converting them to Savage Worlds.
