The Dying Earth

Enter a world where the sun is in its dotage, where a flashing sword is less important than nimble wits, persuasive words, and a fine sense of fashion.

Choose from three levels of play, a lowly rogue such as Cugel the
Clever, surviving by wits and cunning, an ambitious and deadly mage searching for lost lore, like Turjan of Miir or finally a supreme magician to rank with Rhialto the Marvellous, commanding the omnipotent but quarrelsome Sandestins. Based on master fantasist Jack Vance's seminal work, The Dying Earth features easy, fast-playing rules that encourage creativity and interaction.

Cugel's Compendium of Indispensable Advantages

We have made this book indispensable for purely commercial reasons. It contains Arcane Items of Obvious Utility such as the Mutable Deck; Fashions, Fripperies, and Distracting Baubles and a new power, the Tweak. A Tweak lets you spend points in an ability and gain a distinct temporary advantage. Persuade your mount to eat a rival's hat using the Riding tweak, "There's Turnips In It For You" or negate another's social error with the Etiquette tweak "Please Forgive My Companion, Who Was Dropped At Birth". GMs and players alike will find this book, well . . . indispensable.
