Eternal Champion books' contents

I see that Elric for RQII is due for this summer.

I was wondering if someone in the know could enlighten as to what all will be included in the main book (esp. how much of the material from 'Magic of the Young Kingdoms') and if Hawkmoon will also definitely be republished in the near future, and how much reprint versus new material is planned for both?

They won't be core books (i.e. they won't have any core rules in them - you need to get the RQII book). Yet they will be 250+ pages rather than the previous 160. As such, I think it is safe to say there will be more material - though what, I'm not sure.

Hawkwind was mooted as coming out after Corum, this time around. Maybe next year, along with a Multiverse setting book.

Um, you mean 'Hawkmoon'?

I am wondering if I should pick up books like 'Magic of the Young Kingdoms', and it's hard to tell at this time how much duplication there will be, or if the material I am interested in will be even be included. The 256 page count looks good, but I would like to find out how much will be setting text versus game related material. I don't care much for the settings, but it sounds like there might be some very good material to pirate...but I don't want to buy several books to get what I want (demons, summoning, rune magic, sorcerous 'science', that sort of stuff...not the Eternal Champion, Moorcock stuff). Buy what's out now or wait, RQ or RQII? I'm thinking I should get the pdfs and just print the parts I want now...unless someone can tell me I can get more of the 'good parts' by waiting for the new versions. So can someone quote a ratio of 'fluff to crunch'?

Thanks.

Sorry, still listening to Hall of the Mountain Grill....

We still aren't sure what the content of Elric will be as it's not been released yet, but Lol wrote it, and I seem to remember him saying that there was new content. Maybe he can come on line and give us more details...
