Thieves World Companion - Sanctuary Roleplaying Under the Beysibs
 |
 |
The Thieves World stories began in 1979¸ to instant acclaim. Not long after¸ Chaosium published a boxed Thieves World roleplaying supplement which garnered awards and more acclaim. Since the first book hit the newstands¸ more than 2200 paperback pages and eight additional Thieves World volumes have been printed - a phenomenon others imitate but cannot duplicate.
Sanctuary¸ the town too mean to die¸ has changed little from the time it first saw print¸ but many new characters now stride the citys streets¸ pillage the foolish in its alleys¸ and connive in its back rooms. Lalo¸ Ischade¸ Roxanne¸ Niko¸ Mradhon Vis¸ The Beysa¸ Chenaya¸ Zip¸ and many more have come to life¸ and are now included in the Companions full character stats for the RQ3 and MERPs systems.
New essays consider Rankan¸ Ilsigi¸ Beysib¸ and Outsider deities in the light of further tales of Sanctuary¸ that place which is the funnel of the gods and the eye of the Rankan hurricane.
The excellent encounter tables from the Thieves World box have been revised to reflect later events and personalities¸ and are presented here in full. There are also floor-by-floor isometrics of the Great Dungeon. Though adjacent to Kitty-Cats palace¸ nobody seems to go there. Now you can study its defenses and understand why.
Alone or along with the Thieves World box¸ the Companion rekindles the fabulous world of Sanctuary - Thieves World.
