Reception

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]
