Way late to the game here, but I too am running a Thieves World/Sanctuary campaign. While recently cleaning, I found my old "Chaosium" Thieves World Adventure Pack and introduced my college-age daughter and several friends to the city of Sanctuary. They are currently in the sewer/tunnel system by request of their benefactor group (my old characters from the 1980's) searching for two sets of artifact armor rumored to be in the city's underground.
awesome! its a fantastic setting.
