Mazirian the Magician by Jack Vance
The Dying Earth was always the book I heard referred to as the inspiration for D&D's "Vancian" magic system. In more recent days, the publisher has taken to calling that book Mazirian the Magician, the first book of The Dying Earth series. I've had this book sitting on my ereader for around ten years waiting to get around to reading it. My recent Appendix N reading gave me the impetus to finally get around to it. The book is structured as a series of vignettes, each featuring a different […]https://alexanderkeane.com/2026/03/26/mazirian-the-magician-by-jack-vance/

Wasted Lands: The Dying Age
The Wasted Lands RPG is fantastic for all sorts of campaigns. But instead of playing at the dawn of the world, I want to play at the end of it.

I am currently reading "Fools Errant" by Matthew Hughes, a work set in the Dying Earth and deliberately imitative of Vance's style.
There's a great magic item: a cloak of invisibility that emits a staggeringly foul stench. It's a clever drawback that I hadn't thought of before.

Finally finished Jack Vance's Dying Earth series. I liked how ridiculous a lot of the problems the characters faced were, like men being turned into women in Rhialto the Marvelous, and the flowery and dramatic language of such terms as "pangynic nightmare".

SONGS is an anthology of new stories based on Jack Vance’s #DyingEarth stories. A mixed bag; some use the setting and themes as a starting point for something fresh and original, while others feel like ham-fisted mashups, and a few seem to be unrelated stories that were forced into the setting.

I've called this the undying Dying Earth RPG bundle because we've had this deal before in 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2020, but if the gap between deals continues at that ratio, then it'll be 2028 before we see it again.

i still don’t assume that #trump could make it through the general election, never mind win it—in my ‘model’ of him, he would be willing to accept the ‘withdraw from the race w/guarantees that trump-appointed proxy candidate will issue a #pardon if he wins’ option if it minimized his exposure to criminal justice. plus hard limits on his travel and internet use in 2024 would wound his campaign.
but who knows? on the #DyingEarth all bad things are possible.

"An Invocation of Incuriosity" (2009)
by Neil GaimanThe narrator meets a man selling strange carvings at a flea market. The man tells a story about a father and son at the end of time, and a room that exists a million years in the past.
Set in Jack Vance's DYING EARTH, Gaiman depicts a clever escape from the "darkness at the end of time," and the search for "the light of the universe waking to itself."

Just realized I never wrote an #Introduction when I joined last fall -
#Books are my favorite thing; particular #Horror, #Fantasy, and #Mystery. You can see what I #AmReading in my profile, but lately I've been into classic fantasy, and the #SwordAndSorcery and #DyingEarth subgenres.
#Bass player in a past life. No longer play but still enjoy all kinds of #Music.
These are my primary interests, but don't be surprised if I also talk about #VideoGames, #Movies, or #ProWrestling.

#Fantasy / #ScienceFiction recommendation request
Having recently discovered the #DyingEarth sub-genre, I need more - strange evolution, remnants of past civilizations, dying worlds at the end of time, and a sense of melancholy and fatalism throughout.
Assume I have a handle on the classics; tell me about today's must-read authors or #books. My preferences lean towards #ScienceFantasy (think Vance, Harrison, Cherryh), but I'm not opposed to hard #SciFi.
Thank you!

Ah... the wonder of the Internet.
