The Quick Start rules will take you gently by the hand and guide you through the Dying Earth RPG. So simple that even a half-witted bog dweller can understand them, they include the basics of character creation for lowly Cugel-like characters. Abilities such as Persuasion and Rebuff, Attack and Defense are all covered, and we offer a cursory glance at the vast topic of magic. Learn how to swindle the other inhabitants of the Dying Earth, hold tightly onto your own purse, and indulge yourself in epicurean delights.

Whilst your knowledge will be inferior to that contained in the Dying Earth RPG full rules, you will at least be able to hold your head up in polite society without too much embarrassment.
