The Dying Earth is available once more from the Pelgrane Press store.

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.

    Fantastic! I have recently discovered the wonderful worlds of Jack Vance, and the DE RPG seems to have captured the setting and atmosphere perfectly.

    I bought a hardcover copy when DERPG first came out in 2001. Is there a new version, in PDF form? That includes editorial corrections.

    Thanks.
