I just finished the 2nd book in the new Thieves World series titled "Enemies of Fortune." This is a fantastic book! I think it is a better effort than any of the original 12 books from the "old" series and that is saying alot! Dennis McKiernan, Lynn Abbey, C J Cherryh, Andrew Offutt, Jeff Grubb, Steven Brust, Robin Wayne Bailey and others REALLY write some wicked stories! There is no tougher town in all of heroic fantasy than Sanctuary!
I have also enjoyed all of R A Salvatore's Drizzt books! Good, fast moving stuff for sure. Elaine Cunningham's trilogy on the drow is also A1.
The new Thieves' World book "Enemies of Fortune" IMO is one of the BEST heroic-fantasy books ever! I know that is a bold statement but Dennis McKiernan, Steven Brust, C J Cherryh, Andrew Offutt, Robin Wayne Bailey and several others write one great book! IMO this is a MUST read! Has anyone else read it or any other of the Thieves World series? A true "D&D" realm if there ever was one.

Green Ronin is publishing the Thieves World Setting later this year.
Thieves World remains a great place to visit. I haven't read the newest anthology, although I was very much taken with Sanctuary, the full-length novel to kick off the new series.
I must admit, I miss the Vulgar Unicorn and all its regulars, including Marion Zimmer Bradley's mage creation Lythande. He/She was a fascinating character.
I noted with interest in Wolfgang Baur's blog that when he wrote the Green Griffon Tavern for The Book of Roguish Luck, the Vulgar Unicorn was very much on his mind.
For roleplaying inspiration, I go back to those anthologies time and again.

The Vulgar Unicorn is back in business and has a great story take place there in "Enemies of Fortune."
I also understand a Thieves World RPG is to be released very soon and I have heard some good things about it!

I heard the first release was supposed to be in August? I have heard some good things about it. Anyone know for sure?

Check it out! THIEVES' WORLD is rocking!
I'm going to buy the RPG books for Thieves' World and I'm running, not walking...to my bookstore to buy the new novels. I didn't realize there were new novels. Thieves World is great, gritty fun.
