- 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.
Visit the Dying Earth
Enter this vivid world in the first roleplaying game authorized by master fantasist Jack Vance. Here a flashing sword is less important than nimble wits, persuasive words, and a fine sense of fashion. Create an adventurer for any of three different kinds of stories: a typical mortal such as Cugel the Clever, surviving by wits and cunning an ambitious magician searching for lost lore, like Turjan of Miir a supreme mage to rank with Rhialto the Marvellous, commanding the omnipotent but quarrelsome sandestins.
The Dying Earth features easy, fast-playing rules that encourage creativity and interaction. No knowledge of Jack Vance’s work is needed for play, but fans of the stories will enjoy the comprehensive summary of the world’s places, creatures, and known spells. Authorized and approved by Dying Earth fantasy novelist JACK VANCE Based on the Dying Earth book series by Jack Vance. Produced and distributed by agreement with Jack Vance c/o Ralph Vicinanza Ltd.

I think the other Dying Earth kickstarter you mentioned was the adaptation for Dungeon Crawl Classics that came out a few years ago.
Great video. I got this pdf in a humble bundle I think but never read it yet. I've never read the Dying Earth novels either so I have to add that to my list someday.
You're absolutely right, when I was researching this one the Kickstarter came up as the first result and I thought it was an active one, but on going back and looking it ended last year.
love this one better game than the Dungeon crawl classics
There's a load in this one to like, not familiar with the other version, but it would have a lot of work to do to match this version.
Interesting premise!
The whole Dying Earth setting seems interesting, with more to it that I got across in the video, but I've only read the summaries on Wikipedia, so aren't familiar with the details of the stories.
How on earth is there not an Elric or Melnibone rpg??? Theres at least 3 Conan official rpgs at this point
Stormbringer
There has been more than one. I think Mongoose put out one a decade or more ago. The classic one, made from the early 80s to the late 90s I think was Stormbringer (called Elric in at least one edition) by Chaosium. Great stuff. There were also 1 or 2 Hawkmoon RPGs.
I used to flick through a copy of Stormbringer a friend had back in the day, but like most RPG's we got our hands on at the time it was the Games Workshop reprint version for the UK.
If Dying Earth got a prequel would it be called Living Earth?
Only if a sequel to Living Steel was Dying Steel (which sounds kind of hardcore).
