They described the Elric Saga as "Tolkien-esque"? Something tells me the writer hasn't only never read the books but was also too lazy to do a little research. Well...that's SciFi for ya!

A very nice sheet! I've been looking online for awhile now trying to find a good one and I think I can now stop searching. I really didn't like the official one and the one I made myself was kind of dull but this one is very attractive without sacrificing readability (is that a word?). Anyway...

Bindings? No. Affiliations with demons? Yes Quicker summonings? Yes Rune magic? Yes (and definitely not like the Chaosium systems, or RQ rune magic) That's for the Magick Book. Companion will include enchantments. Excellent! It all sounds great and I'm very much looking forward to it. Keep...

I like the summoning rules very much; I think they reflect what we see in the saga very well. I'm personally glad there aren't any 'regular' spells...I always thought the ones in Chaosium's Elric! and Stormbringer 5 were forced and at odds with the saga. However, will there be rules in the...

Oh damn! Didn't know that. Should have picked up Sea Kings of the Purple Towns while I could...that's the only one I don't have! Oh well...the gears of Chaos are forever turning...

Those are all great suggestions, Loz. And great work on Elric by the way! Can't wait to see what else is coming. I would also suggest using some of the old Chaosium books such as Sorcerers of Pan Tang and Perils of the Young Kingdom in particular. These are rather cheap on drivethrurpg.com is...

I'm in Richmond, KY...the cultural center of the universe, don't ya know? :D

I just picked mine up today from my (somewhat) local game store. So they're out there! My initial impressions are quite favorable. I think it captures the spirit of Moorcock's writings very well. I'm still reading it though so I can't offer final thoughts or anything. However, I'm very anxious...

Forgive me if this question has been asked but I searched the forums and could find no information so I thought I'd post it. Will the upcoming Runequest Deluxe book simply be a collection of the Corebook, Companion, and Monsters books or will there be additional material making it worthwhile...

Very nice Melnibonean battle barge of the front cover! I can't wait until the Elric stuff comes out. I have the two Hawkmoom books that have been published so far and I like them very much, but the Elric saga has always been my favorite. This artwork catches the mood perfectly! Also, I wonder...

I'm in the U.S. and I have indeed picked up a copy...it was from this great shop in Indianapolis...the owner said he'd have to order more copies because his three were now all sold, so that's good news! I haven't had the chance to ingest the whole book yet but I like what I've read so far. I...

Since the magic system for Unknown East was mentioned, I was wondering if the magic in Elric of Melnibone was going to be more similar to that than to basic RuneQuest. Personally, I think the demon summoning rules found in previous Stormbringer games by Chaosium were spot on, so I hope those are...

This is encouraging. I hope to hell that this movie gets made and that it retains the flavor of the books without compromising too much. I can't imagine a PG-13 version of Elric, but I'm sure that's what the producers would want. Also, we need an unknown to play Elric. Wouldn't you hate to see...

Just curious if anyone knew any more definitive information regarding the store date of Hawkmoon. The guy at my local game store had no idea about it. Thanks!

So far I've only purchased the Companion, Monsters, and Arms and Equipment. I never bought the Glorantha or Nehwon stuff as I'm just not interested in those as settings. However, I'll certainly be picking the core books and supplements for the Eternal Champion line...so looking forward to that...
