Thieves' Guild 5, with 2 versions of Wallace Miller's cover art for this adventure supplement by Kerry Lloyd and Janet Trautvetter (Gamelords Ltd, 1981). I always liked the framing of an assassin's point of view, hidden in a tree watching an orc party pass below.

Thieves’ Guild 10: Bandit Gangs and Caravans (1984) is the last installment in the series. Alas! Let us stand and appreciate, for a moment, that the cover is by Mark E. Rogers of Samurai Cat fame. It is a nice cover. I feel like Rogers is underrated in general.

The bulk of the book is dedicated to what the title says. There are rules for creating caravans and, stocking them with enticing loot. The size of a caravan is too large for a player party to tackle alone, probably, so that’s where the bandit gang rules come in. I like all this stuff except the mass combat rules used to resolve the taking of a caravan. Those are a bit of a drag.

There is also one last scenario, and I quite like it. There is a merchant who owes money and the Thieves’ Guild intends to teach him a lesson by having the players break in and steal a notable ruby (and then the guild will ransom it back as interest on his late payment). The idea is for the thieves to break in, get the loot and leave without detection, so the Guild can surprise the merchant with the ransom, which is far easier said than done. The particulars of the mission are left to the players, but they get a lot to work with thanks to the way the scenario details the house, its inhabitants and the other locations of note in the neighborhood. Great stuff!

Statement of Fact: Eydis should be canon.

I had to look up Eydis for this because I never played Rising Steel, but oh my god, she’s really cute? I didn’t know the game had little anime-style scenes either. The interactions with Alice are adorable. Kawahara. Please

Reading through Gamelords' system, Thieves' Guild, and at the end here we have two treats from the upcoming releases section:

+A pirate supplement that advertises (presumably with a wink and a nudge) the ability to look fabulous treasures and capture beautiful women

+Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory, a Civil War roleplaying game. Which, uh...what the fuck??? Gamelords??? What the fuck???

I've been reading through "Haven: The Free City", an old game setting from the 80's that my dad bought, and its a fascinating piece of archeology. I'm gonna make this into a megathread of my findings, as I'm modifying Haven for my 4E campaign.

“Well this is certainly new..” 

The Doctor had come into the store, but something felt unusual, like there was something here that was alive, he could feel it in the air. He was unsure about what it was, other than the other people here. He mused through things and found himself drawn to a doll, a doll in a loita style, emerald green eyed and everything, a beautiful doll and her eyes held a life-like quality to them. 

So he bought her and took her with him back to the TARDIS. carefully sitting her on the chair and he’d sit crossed legged in front of her. The apprentice-magic user was unsure about this, but he could almost feel something in her. 

“Hello?”

In my day we didn’t yell at each other on the Internet, we had our orbs for that (Wallace Miller, The Forest Lords of Dihad, an adventure by Richard Meyer for The Fantasy Trip in The Land Beyond the Mountains, “published by Gamelords Ltd under an exclusive license by Metagaming,” 1982)

Late in the lifespan of the Thieves’ Guild line, Gamelords began issuing books expanding the campaign setting. Tyrant’s Demesne (1983) focuses on the city dhar Ankhes, part of a somewhat Middle Eastern flavored region north of the main city of Haven.

It’s…fine. The count in charge is corrupt tyrant, kept in power thanks to willingness to allow his allies to profit from criminal enterprises. There are, of course, many people who would like to see the count overthrown. There is also a guild of wizardry in turmoil and an external rivalry with local tribesmen (detailed in the next book) to contend with as well.

All of the information is as well thought out and presented as other Gamelords products, and it is nice to have a Point B for all those merchants to travel to and from so player bandits can pilfer them. But I do think it is a shame that we got these books rather than the final volume detailing Haven before Gamelords passed into history.
