Edited by Robert Lynn Asprin, the first set of Thieves' World books appeared in 1978 and gave us a then-unique anthology of stories - unique by the fact that the authors shared their characters with each other. They hooked me in and I have spent many years since trying to collect everything I could find based on the books, including comics, a roleplaying game system and even a board game. I never did find out if there was a computer game...
Though most of the products listed in this guide are now out-of-print, its well worth haunting your favourite second-hand book shop to pick them up. Otherwise, you could try my Ebay Auction Search. (Just don't bet against me!) - Mic
