Another one of James Ward’s 1 on 1 Gamebooks, but this time we have special guests in the shape of Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, the main characters in Fritz Leiber’s Lankhmar series of novels and stories, which have already been adapted to AD&D modules and as a campaign setting.

So here we have a gamebook based on AD&D which is then based on Leiber’s work. This has the advantage of giving Ward some pre-established characters to work with, which already come with inbuilt depth and personality, which was something missing from previous entries in the series. 

In this game one player plays with the legendary team of Fafhrd and Grey Mouser while the other player basically plays antagonists to throw in the path of the adventurers in the form of the Thieves’ Guild Assassins. This seems pretty fun, and the reputation of this gamebook is pretty good, even if I didn’t get to play it myself.
