Amber

"'All roads lead to Amber,' he said, as though it were an axiom." from Nine Princes in Amber.

This page is dedicated to The Chronicles of Amber.

I've found it difficult to dig up much on the Web about Amber, for some reason.  Most of what is out there seems to be dedicated to personal campaigns in the Amber Diceless Role-Playing Game.  While I certainly enjoy the game, I'd rather read discussions of the source material than details about someone else's characters and campaigns.

I have written a paper about magic in the Amber universe, as seen through the role-playing game but in terms of the books.  As soon as I have a chance to edit it again I'll be posting it.  I'll also be putting up other things from time to time.

Here are the first such offerings:

• My look at death in the Amber universe.
• My argument as to why Amber should be played diceless.

Also, here are some links that I feel are worth a look:
