"An excellent development of the Dying Earth Roleplaying Game,
replacing the farce of Cugel-level play with a unique angle on more
familiar fantasy adventure."

"Pick of GenCon: Dying Earth. Of all the new RPGs at GenCon, the one I want to run most is Dying Earth.
It's extremely stylish, which, of course, a game based on the Dying Earth
ought to be. The detail that won me over is that characters need to do
different things to "recharge" depending on which skills they've been
using."

"In a flood of fantasy fiction and games, there are fewer and fewer that are truly exciting, exotic, and strange. The Dying Earth is all of those, and exciting, too; reading over the rules makes you WANT to plunge into life and adventure in the setting---even if you've never read any of Jack Vance's delightful fiction! If you have, of course, the game skillfully expands, rounds out, and suggests new trails to adventure...in a setting that is at once whimsical, sinister, gloriously cynical and colorful, eccentric, and oh, so polite. A superb game and setting that could easily provide delightful play in a campaign lasting decades!"

[DERPG] is so well written that it could make even a group of strangers to the books play a
perfect game of Dying Earth.

"For the fan of Jack Vance’s The Tales of the Dying Earth, this is an RPG
they deserve to enjoy. For the gamer not as familiar with the books, but who
is willing to try a game in a lighter, whimsical, but above all entertaining
game, then The Dying Earth RPG is just the thing." |
| Review of the game and an Interview with Simon Rogers at
RPG Action

 |
"[The Dying Earth RPG] is an intelligently designed game which offers some
unconventional roleplaying opportunities." |
