Companion Supplement
Sanctuary Roleplaying Under the Beysibs (1986)
Supplement covering Thieves' World Novels
Volumes 3 - 6
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
city's 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 Companion's
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-Cat's 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.
