Based on master fantasist Jack Vance's seminal work, The Dying Earth features easy, fast-playing rules that encourage creativity and interaction." 2001 ... Robin D.

Fields of Silver gives somber warriors and potent magicians a chance to show their capabilities. Written for powerful, driven characters in the style of Turjan of Miir, you can solve mysteries, uncover secrets and deal with ancient evils. The adventure takes your characters right across the continent, from Almery to Erze Damath, taking in a host of wonders along the way. It pitches them against dangerous foes in their quest to put right a misdeed so great that it could shake the very foundations of a mighty city. With a wealth of descriptive material on the eastern lands in the original stories, the book also functions as a richly detailed sourcebook for the Eastern lands. Who is responsible for the slaughter of the characters' friends? Who is the mysterious Lady and why does she need their help? Even armed with a head full of spells and a wicked blade, dare your characters face the scion of an elder demon?

"Are you sure you can cope with the contents of this publication? Ponder well on the writers. M D Jackson, whose work comes to us, written in blood on the back of repeatedly erased medical records David Thomas, who works sitting under a silver parasol on the bed of a long dead sea, dictating his works to three scribes, one blind, one deaf, and one mute Justinian Merrihew who doubts not merely the nature of his existence but its very actuality Ian Thomson who lives so close to the hithermost edge of the earth that dark dreams drift sinuously out of the darker gulfs of space and slip through the ivoried embrasures of his many canopied bed chamber. Wonder at the pets of the Dying Earth, frolic in the icy streets of The Hidden City in the Mountains, gawp at Bildazan, God of Merchants and Thieves. Once again Pelgrane Press spares no expense or effort to bring to your attention what they most modestly assure me must surely be the finest collection of scenarios, background information and plot hooks for the Dying Earth as has ever been collected into one place. So stranger, should you merely be desirous of titillation, of generously endowed maidens dressed in unlikely and uncomfortable combinations of chain mail and leather, of facile stories and shallow plots suitable only for the most juvenile, then carefully place this back on the shelf where your betters can find it. If on the other hand you are a person of wit and discernment, welcome, this book has found its rightful home." 2011 ... 134 pages ...
