Why is this such a ripoff of D&D? I'm okay with writers using preexisting ideas, it's the norm, but this shit is just fucking blatant.

You are an obvious troll, but I raged nevertheless. This book came in the 50's I think, whilst D&D is much newer concept.

One of the best books I've ever read. I love the innocence Vance puts into this masterpiece of his, as much as his overpouring imagination and masterful sense of atmosphere he creates. An amazing book, and to troll about it is close to sacrilege. Fucking die, OP.

It's too bad for you the only people who will fall for that troll are people who haven't read the book and don't care.

Silly troll.
Anyway, I'm pissed that there's no edition of Tales of the Dying Earth without a TERRIBLE cover. Pic related.

I wonder, is that thingie portrayed in the cover supposed to be the sleeping machine of Rogol Domedonfors?

That cover is pretty much awesome. They should slap that on 'Tales'.
