Pete Spahn's Time of the Dying Stars is a brisk, pulpy read with noir overtones set in the Small Niche Games setting of Amherth - more specifically, the City of Dolmvay. While this work of fiction stands on its own as an enjoyable, light read it also serves as a vehicle for enterprising game masters looking to infuse a bit of urban adventure into their Labyrinth Lord games. Spahn's stories are a kind of "lead by example," and the fiction presented here is ripe with story seeds, NPCs and plot hooks ripe for the picking. It's offered as a pay what you want product, but certainly worth a few bucks. When combined with his Guidebook to the City of Dolmvay, a campaign almost builds itself. Well worth a look.
