Fafhrd & the Gray Mouser (Novice Rank)

As has been revealed at Bleeding Cool and on Google+, Pinnacle Entertainment now hols the license to Fritz Leiber's seminal Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories and will be releasing The Savage World of Lankhmar in the near future.  I have mixed feelings about this -- can it capture the weird, dreamlike feel of the stories? will Pinnacle's self-imposed PG-13 approach unsex my beloved Nehwon? -- but mainly I'm mad I never got around to posting my conversions of the Twain before this.  I've wanted to write about them since the beginning of the blog!  Oh well, better late than never...
