Thanks for the new podcast Jason!
There are definitely some of the most iconic F+GM scenes in Swords Against Wizardry, and it's my belief that the Mouser's attempt at casting a spell in Quarmal may have been the inspiration for thieves getting the % chance to 'read scrolls' ability in D+D.

Ha! That's probably true regarding the thief class in D&D. I just sent out for a copy of 'Barbarians' edited by Robert Adams so I can take a look at "Scylla's Daughter," the novella that Leiber expanded into Book 5: The Swords of Lankhmar, to see if it was better off being left alone.  The original digest was a bit pricey for my taste, so I went with a paperback instead, very easy choice to make. |

Well, looks like Scylla's Daughter is really just the first portion on The Swords of Lankhmar. Just the adventure on the grain ship and meeting the German Aquanaut riding the two-headed sea serpent. I'll start writing the next episode this week. |

Hard to believe DC passed on the Jeff Jones cover for Sword and Sorcery #1 as shown below. The Kaluta cover they went with is bad-ass, though.   |

Is it strange that maybe the closest we've had to a Fahfrd/Grey Mouser film is...Midnight Cowboy? |
