A block of adventure hooks follows each guild, NPC, and location description. The last chapter offers tips for handling hard-to-please players.[1]

Publication history[edit]

Rogues in Lankhmar was written by Wes Nicholson and published by TSR, Inc.[1] The cover art was by Larry Elmore.

Reception[edit]

Rick Swan reviewed Rogues in Lankhmar for Dragon magazine #216 (April 1995).[1] He comments that "Dungeon Masters who've enjoyed the previous volumes in the Lankhmar series (including Tales of. . . and Slayers of. . .) but still don't know how to get a campaign off the ground should appreciate the focused approach of the latest entry."[1] He felt that the adventure hooks would help in "making it a snap for DMs to develop encounters geared to the interests of their players".[1] Swan concludes by saying, "The result: sophisticated, intelligent role-playing for those more interested in negotiating treaties than scalping orcs."[1]
