At any moment the sun may expire...

In the unimaginably far future, the swollen orb stutters and blinks. On the Dying Earth, humanity festers, rich as rotted fruit. Half-men haunt the forest from decadent Kaiin to the Land of the Falling Wall.

Science has given way to rich, colorful magic. Magicians in lavish manses struggle to master Earth's last great spells, while supreme Arch-Magicians command the omnipotent but quarelsome sandestins.

Now you can enter this vivid world based on Jack Vance's legendary Tales of the Dying Earth fantasies. Made with the cooperation of Jack Vance, it features easy, fast-playing rules that encourage creativity and interaction. You need not be familiar with Jack Vance's work to play, but fans of the stories will enjoy the comprehensive suimmary of the world's marvels.
