Bring THE gritty city of Sanctuary to your roleplaying game! Sanctuary, the meanest, seediest town in all of fantasy! Whether you have the city of Sanctuary in its critically acclaimed setting, The Known World, or put it in a setting of your own, players and Gamemasters weave tales of danger and fortune among the thieves, harlots, scoundrels, godlings, hired swords, and sorcerous beings lurking in the shadows in this dangerous and infamous city.

With over a million copies sold, Thieves’ World® helped pioneer shared world anthologies and define fantasy for decades to come. With tales written by award-winning fantasy and science fiction authors like Robert Lynn Asprin, Lynn Abbey, Poul Anderson, Phillip José Farmer, and more. 

Thieves’ World® and the city of Sanctuary is a living, breathing setting full of shared characters, intertwined storylines, and tenuous alliances of moral ambiguity.

Join us in this truly unique setting with its magical manifestations, intrepid thieves, sell-swords, where semi-permanent spells from mages can be bought with coin or favor, and where, in the game rules, there are no alignments! But be warned: keep one hand on your money and the other on your sword, because in Sanctuary they play for keeps.
