Is that actual months or Mongoose months?

This is a great product. Essential for DV GM's. Your group will thank you for it.

I would like to add my regrets, if Mongoose decide to give it the heave ho, because the material that has been published already in the Legend format has, imo, been in keeping with the flavour of Moorcock's works whilst allowing the flexibility gamers require to make the world their own. There...

That is good to hear. Can you tell him to hurry up, we are waiting to continue our campaign.

I think it would be a good idea to have seperate player and GM books. All the players in our group have a copy of the rules, consequently, we all know about the 'bad guys', monsters and special items. This creates a problem for the GM when creating adventures. Also, extra material would be...

Is there a timeline anywhere that can be used as a standard? In the Elric CRB there is a negative timeline from the destruction of the Young Kingdoms and some of the source books give dates but without any reference points. Any help would be appreciated.

The Moorcock multiverse is so diverse that any society can be found anywhere in the miriad versions of the Young kingdoms. As long as the logic, or illogic, of the GM's world is followed it does not matter where you wish to put anything. The important thing to get right is the amount of...

Chaosium's Hawkmoon RPG from the 80's limits sorcerors from the Young Kingdoms to only 10% of their magical skills when transported to the Tragic Millenium. Hope this helps.

Enhanced Learning - Results of Improvement Rolls are doubled (thus, a failed Improvement roll means a skill advances by 2 points, successful Improvements improves skill by x2 1D4+1. The above is quoted from Cults of the Young Kindoms. Does it give the bonus to all skills or just one specific...

In Arms of Legend the ship descriptions have a value attributed to Crew, but, there is no explanation as to whether this value represents maximum crew, minimum crew or average crew. Can anyone enlighten me on this topic?

Thanks for that Loz. I will adjust my NPC's to reflect that, and negotiate with my players to adjust their characters.

The Elric CRB states 'The percentage of the {magic skill} skill can never exceed the sorcerer's High Speech skill.' Does this mean that the magic skill cannot be raised higher than the High Speech or that the magic skill can be higher but the chance of success is only as great as that of the...

I recived an email about mine on 30th of August. Got it in the post on the 31st. Give them a ring and speak to their sales team, there maybe a problem with despatch.

Is it possible to reduce the number of MP's invested in a Rune? EG. A sorcerer casts a three MP Fire Rune to smother a bonfire. After extinguishing the bonfire he decides to recoup two MP while leaving the rune active, on one MP, to control the campfire. Or does he have to cancel the active...

According to the rules, if a Rune Casting(rune) test is a critical the caster uses one less MP to power the Rune, if only one MP is used it is free. What happens if a character inscribes, for example, the Light Rune on a coin, the test result is a critical and the rune activates at no MP cost...
