Rogues of Merth

Dareon and Blue Return to Merth and Find Dangers and Wonders Beyond Imagination! “Usually, it is wise to leave the classics be, but occasionally someone succeeds in breathing new life into one. This story combined elements of what honestly seems like a fantastic D&D campaign, with all the feel of the Phantom of the Opera. Rather than just rehashing old tropes, nearly all of the story breathes anew while retaining the familiar threads of the classic.” — TANGENT ONLINE MAGAZINE “Those desiring exotic and haunting new settings will be pleased to read Robert Zoltan’s latest Rogues of Merth. P. Alexander has long praised the Rogues of Merth, and, with this underworld journey that mixes elements of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser with C. L. Moore’s Jirel of Joiry, it is easy to see why. The setting is vivid, the temptations heart-wrenching, and the conclusion contains shivery body horror.” — CASTALIA HOUSE PUBLISHING Nights in Merth are deadly and delicious.
