The Dying Earth RPG

Ausgewählte Option:

A future, unimaginably distant…

The sun, now in its dotage, is a swollen maroon orb. It stutters and blinks. At any moment it may finally go out.

Earth, immensely old… Dig anywhere and find a buried city or the shore of a vanished sea. Deodand-haunted woods stretch from decadent Kaiin to the Land of the Falling Wall. Erbs and grue hunt in the wilds. Isolated villages embrace surprising customs. Larger towns favor debauchery and mincing murder.

Magic, rich and colourful… Enchantment shapes the world. Any dabbler may know a few simple cantraps. Magicians in lavish manses struggle to master Earth's last great spells, while all-powerful cabals intrigue against rivals or plot revenge for ancient feuds.

Enter this vivid world in this roleplaying game authorized by master fantasist Jack Vance. Here, the importance of a flashing sword is matched by nimble wits, persuasive words, and a fine sense of fashion. Create an adventurer for any of three different kinds of stories:

  • a typical mortal, such as Cugel the Clever, surviving by wits and cunning;
  • an ambitious magician searching for lost lore, like Turjan of Miir;
  • a supreme mage to rank with Rhialto the Marvellous, commanding the omnipotent but quarrelsome sandestins

Created by Robin D. Laws and John Snead, The Dying Earth RPG features easy, fast-playing rules that encourage creativity and interaction. This core rulebook contains everything you need to play a one-shot or campaign set in this evocative world.

No knowledge of Jack Vance's work is needed for play, but fans of the stories will enjoy the badinage, as well as the comprehensive summary of the world's places, creatures, and known spells.

Praise for The Dying Earth RPG:

"Pick of GenCon: Dying Earth. Of all the new RPGs at GenCon, the one I want to run most is Dying Earth. It's extremely stylish, which, of course, a game based on the Dying Earth ought to be. The detail that won me over is that characters need to do different things to "recharge" depending on which skills they've been using."
Jonathan Tweet, D&D 3rd edition author

"In a flood of fantasy fiction and games, there are fewer and fewer that are truly exciting, exotic, and strange. The Dying Earth is all of those, and exciting, too; reading over the rules makes you WANT to plunge into life and adventure in the setting---even if you've never read any of Jack Vance's delightful fiction! If you have, of course, the game skillfully expands, rounds out, and suggests new trails to adventure...in a setting that is at once whimsical, sinister, gloriously cynical and colorful, eccentric, and oh, so polite. A superb game and setting that could easily provide delightful play in a campaign lasting decades!"
Ed Greenwood, creator of the Forgotten Realms

"Hell, just buy it for the read -it's that good!"
Review of the game rpg.net

"[DERPG] is so well written that it could make even a group of strangers to the books play a perfect game of Dying Earth."

Having gotten into the novels and running a DCC Dying Earth game now, I am buying these core rules and hoping that all the books become POD, which I will buy all of if that happens. Also letting Pelgrane k ow there are people still interested in this!

This is a great game and everyone should have it.
There are three large campaigns (Footsteps of Fools, Fields of Silver and the assorted Kaijin Valley adventures) that are all both good to read and to play.
Highly recommended.

Any plans on making the DE books POD? I'm sure there are still a lot of people out there willing to buy them in print. Me, plenty of people is me, and hopefully others.

Any chance of this happening before Christmas, so I can get some of those PODs on my holiday wishlist?

If there are no issues with the rest of the process it's possible this could be ready for Christmas.

We thought we'd set this up already, but maybe not. We'll check where we got to and push on with getting this up and running.

I'm guessing this must be harder than you guys thought. On the bright side, we're seeing some real interest in this thread, so it's clear you'll get some sales once it's all done.

We hit a snag with one of the key fonts used no longer being available, so we're working on finding another font that doesn't throw out the layout.

Just got into Dying Earth, almost halfway through the stories and have the Dungeon Crawl Classics books. I would also buy this RPG.

Super excited to see the core book offered on POD! Are other books following suit? Do I have to buy a copy of the core book to convince you to put the others up POD as well? Because if that's the cost, I'll do it - after Christmas.

Eingescanntes Buchformat
Diese eBooks wurden durch einen tatsächlichen Scan eines gedruckten Exemplars dieses Buches erstellt; das Ergebnis wurde dann in ein PDF umgewandelt. Jede Seite wurde durch eine Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Software analysiert, um den gedruckten Text zu erkennen. Das Ergebnis des OCR-Vorgangs wurde dann unsichtbar auf den Seiten platziert, damit du den Text durchsuchen kannst. Trotzdem kann es vorkommen, dass Text vor manchen Hintergründen sowie an Handschriften angelehnte Schriftarten nicht von der OCR-Software erkannt wurde - diese Texte können leider nicht durchsucht werden. Ähnliches gilt für einige besonders dicke Bücher, die umgewandelt werden mussten und daher keinen durchsuchbaren Text enthalten. Einige besonders alte und vergriffene Bücher können sogar nur in Form eingescannter Bilder angeboten werden.
