Don't know, M, hadn't heard of Flewelling until I made that tagmash, sorry.
One oversight of course, speaking of D&D, is Jack Vance - The Dying Earth, Eyes of the Overworld, Cugel's Saga, etc. Both magic system and thieves they took from that, most likely, so there's another series for you.

I've *heard* of her. That's it, though.

Asprin's Thieves World series are shared world anthologies.
Ahh. I vaguely remeber reading the first one of those many years ago, and liking it.
Recently, the Lies of Locke Lamora and Red Seas Under Red Skies, by Scott lynch, decent, but nowhere near the class of the previous 3.
(looks guiltily at half-written review for ASIM). Read them.
Don't forget the LibraryThing tagmash trick, either :-
Doesn't seem to bring up anything new, other than Lynn Flewelling (any good?)
For all it's supposedly a fantasy trope, it doesn't seem that common outside of D&D.
Thanks :)
