At Furnace last year, I ran Pelgrane Press' Dying Earth roleplaying game, using The Dying Earth Revivification Folio, which is the completely compatible but updated set of rules based on the Skulduggery RPG which was spun out of the original Dying Earth Roleplaying Game that was Pelgrane's launch product.
As usual, I handled learning a new system by creating a cribsheet for quick reference at the table. Here's a link to it on Google Docs. Feel free to comment with any corrections or improvements.
I would observe that the game captures the feel of Jack Vance's novels really well, but it does mean that the players need to be willing to embrace the whims of fate, much like the protagonists in the novel. Hopefully, that fate will avoid Chun the Unavoidable. However, he is, as the name says, unavoidable. Just don't have a dismal failure...
