	Thieves World - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thieves' World is a shared world fantasy series created by Robert Lynn Asprin in 1978.
		Thieves' World is set in the city of Sanctuary, located at the edge of the Rankan Empire.
		Only the dregs of society found their way there and it was a city beset not only by the scum of the earth, but by the warring gods, the invading Rankan gods and the Ilsigi gods they had ousted from the region.

	new review of "thieves world" "enemies of fortune"
		But Thieves' World is a "first": Its creators, writer/editors Lynn Abbey and Robert Asprin, fashioned the first fantasy world deliberately designed for other authors to write about.
		After an absence of 13 years, Thieves' World returned in 2002 under the guidance of co-creator Lynn Abbey, who relaunched the series with her novel Sanctuary and the anthology Turning Points.
		Thieves' World's new generation lacks the old's many larger-than-life criminals, warriors, magicians and deities.

	The SF Site: An Interview With Contributors to Thieves' World: Turning Points
		The world for which you [Raymond E. Feist] are most well known, Midkemia, has its roots in a role-playing campaign.
		Thieves' World already has one, so all I have to do is write a story that those fans are going to like, and hopefully I've done that.
		Lynn was very clear that the new Thieves' World series was to take place forty or fifty years after the end of the first series.

	Jump Portal: Thieve's World
		Thieves World was created in 1978 by author Robert Lynn Asprin, who wanted to build a shared fantasy universe.
		Thieves World is centered around the city of Sanctuary.
		These works are the essence of Thieves World, because they spin tales along common threads, but deliver unique - and sometimes stand alone - stories presented by different authors.

	Thieves' World (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		I started planning the Thieves’ World® revival back in 1999 when I realized I was signing books that were older than the readers handing them to me. But there were a lot of preliminary steps between thought and realization, and a good many of them took longer (a lot longer) than I’d hoped they would.
		They also decided to publish SANCTUARY and the new anthologies as full-size hardcovers, which raised the price but also got Thieves’ World® the library sales it had never gotten back in the 80s.
		In the meantime, once the novel was finished, I could start inviting a mix of Thieves’ World® veterans and new voices for the first of what I hope will be an open-ended series of new anthologies.

		A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since that Boskon dinner in 1978 when Thieves’ World was conceived.
		My stepdaughter and friends were all calling in to tell me they were safe—for which I was most thankful—and to inform me that along with the roofs and trees, the cattle and the cars, there were pigs in the air and I had never said they had to walk away from their landings.
		Thieves’ World has always been a lot like an iceberg: What’s visible on the surface is only a fraction of what’s really there.

		Thieves World soon turned into a best-selling romp and the shared world collaboration of such top sci-fi authors as Poul Anderson, John Brunner, Joe Haldeman, Vonda McIntyre, A.E. van Vogt, C.J. Cherryh, and Phillip Jose Farmer — to name but a few.
		He and Abbey split up, the Thieves World project collapsed in chaos, and finally (due reportedly to financial problems) he stopped publishing all together.
		Other expansions of Thieves World include a series of graphic novels as well as works by David Drake, Janet Morris, and Andrew J. Offutt which expand on their Thieves World characters.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Thieves' World: Turning Points
		There, she brought the reader up to date on the changes which have occurred since the various wizards, warriors, and thieves had battled for supremacy in its streets.
		However, while the outward appearance is reminiscent of the original Thieves World series, none of the characters depicted in Turning Points have the same charismatic grip on the reader as those who appeared in Thieves World.
		Readers who are already familiar with the Thieves' World series will welcome this return to Sanctuary with a mixture of nostalgia for characters who are no longer appeared, and anticipation for the complex mixture of characters and styles which brought Sanctuary to life in the 80s.

		And the new life Lynn Abbey and a choice group of authors have brought to THIEVES’ WORLD, perhaps the most fertile of all shared worlds, is rich indeed.
		With all the changes in time and characters the basis for the overall success of Thieves’ World is still that marvelous atmosphere of Sanctuary itself.
		With this background, ten highly regarded authors jump off of editor Lynn Abbey's recent updating of Thieves World universe (see Sanctuary) to provide fresh tales with fresh persona that cross all the known kinds of magic including of course the shadowy thieves.

		The stories are good, and I enjoy them, but they're not quite the old 'Thieves' World' and I'm not quite sure what it is that's missing.
		Thieves' World stories are always dark, but this one struck me as particularly bleak.
		The other stories were good, but sometimes I felt like they were missing something--I loved Shadowspawn, but Andrew Offut's Lone does not yet seem to have that indefinable something that Shadowspawn had, and the fact that he has Shadowspawn lurking in the background only reminds me more of what I miss.

		Also, to a ceratin degree, both focus on specific locales--Thieves' World pretty much is set in and around Sanctuary, while many of the Fafhrd and Grey Mouser tales are set in or around Lankhmar.
		The gods rarely interfere with mortals (except for Death, who merely does his job, though his influence is rarely seen directly except by those few notable heroes like Fafhrd and Grey Mouser; or on occasion cursing lapsed followers; they never grant spells and powers to their followers).
		Whereas the characters in Thieves' World seem rooted to Sanctuary, the characters in Nehwon are destined to travel (though, admittedly, always winding up back in Lankhmar somehow/eventually).
