Title: Dying Earth
Post by: Zarniwoop on 08 February 2008, 14:23:10
Hi gang,

I know there are a lot of people here that like Role playing games as opposed to roll playing.
I have a copy of Dying Earth (http://www.spiritgames.co.uk/image/rpg/2110.jpg) RPG which is all about exchange of words, I was intriqued after reading the books to buy this but it is a little outside of my normal style to run.

So if anyone would like to borrow it to look at then let me know, it's with a friend at the moment but I can get hold of it fairly quickly.

Sigh Lend me the rules & I will run it at the LAIR, I am probably mad but thats normal for a gamer isn't it

update

am all ready to go with this one its just a matter of arranging when and where. I await your feed back

as a point of interest the taster is at Cudgel level and I have space for four players with quick wits and agile tongues for preference but I will admit the usual scalawags

Subject: [ded] The License Ends



From the Pelgrane blog:
The Dying Earth RPG license ended today. I have six months to sell all Dying Earth stock. We have a lot of the core book still available, as we got a free reprint. Those other books which I optimistically litho printed in larger volumes are also knocking round in the low hundreds. Of the more recent volumes, my estimates became more accurate, and there are fewer of them.
I'm happy with what we did with the license, and I learned a lot. The most unfortunate thing about it is I think the Dying Earth is game that GMs really want to run, but it's a hard sell to the players. It didn't get nearly as much actual play as I think it deserved. Still, I'll try to run a session this year with my group to commemorate this event. If I can persuade them...
