=== Role-playing games === ==== Advanced Dungeons and Dragons ==== The first edition ''AD&D'' game book ''[[Deities & Demigods]]'' (1980, renamed ''Legends & Lore'' in 1985) and the second edition ''AD&D'' book ''[[Legends & Lore]]'' both include a section on the [[Nehwon mythos]], and stats out several characters from the books as well as gods and monsters. ''[[Lankhmar β City of Adventure]]'' (1985) was a supplement produced by [[TSR, Inc.|TSR]] for their ''[[Dungeons & Dragons|Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]]'' (''AD&D'') [[role-playing game]] containing maps, descriptions of the city areas, game statistics for various prominent characters from the stories, and ideas for adventures in and around the city. It was updated in 1993 under the same name for use with [[Editions of Dungeons & Dragons#Advanced Dungeons .26 Dragons 2nd edition|2nd edition AD&D]]. Several modules and accessories were produced for use with ''City of Adventure''. {{Further|topic=the (1994) 2nd edition accessory|Rogues in Lankhmar}} ''[[Fritz Leiber's Lankhmar: The New Adventures of Fafhrd and Gray Mouser|The New Adventures of Fafhrd and Gray Mouser]]'' (1996) was a boxed set that replaced ''Lankhmar, City of Adventure'' and could be used as an AD&D supplement or a standalone RPG with simplified AD&D rules. For many years, the role-playing magazine ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]'' ran a column introducing magical treasures, under the name "Bazaar of the Bizarre", in honour of the magical emporium in Lankhmar (and Leiber's story of the same name). When the column's name was changed, there was sufficient outcry from readers for the name to be reinstated. ==== Other games ==== In 2006, [[Mongoose Publishing]] began publishing a number of Lankhmar-themed roleplaying books based on its revival of the [[RuneQuest]] roleplaying game system, starting with ''Lankhmar'' ({{ISBN|978-1-905471-69-0}}) and ''Lankhmar: Nehwon'' ({{ISBN|978-1-905471-99-7}}). In 2015, [[Pinnacle Entertainment Group]] released ''Lankhmar: City of Thieves'' along with a collection of supplements and accessories including a [[Strategy guide|player's guide]], maps, adventures, character archetypes, and a [[gamemaster's screen]].<ref>{{Cite web|title = Lankhmar: Savage Tales of the Thieves' Guild Now Available for Ordering! {{!}} Pinnacle Entertainment Group|url = https://www.peginc.com/lankhmar-savage-tales-of-the-thieves-guide-now-available-for-ordering/|website = www.peginc.com| date=12 May 2015 |accessdate = 2015-11-12}}</ref> [[Goodman Games]] released its ''DCC Lankhmar'' boxed set in 2019 as a supplement to the ''[[Dungeon Crawl Classics]]'' roleplaying game. This set introduces modifications of the base ''DCC'' rules for a style of play more consistent with Leiber's writing, as well a city guide, and an introductory adventure.
