Selling Runequest (Elric) to your group

[Arawn76]

Hi new poster,crazy long lurker. :shock:

We have a break from our D&D game coming up and since it's been a while I feel like running a game. Traditionally those of us in the mood bring a pitch to the table and the most popular goes ahead.

This time I have four pitches one of which will be Runequest, in particular Elric.

If you had to do this as a pitch how would you sell this to my group? I've posted the same question on the other game sites so it'll be interesting to see your answers.

Help appreciated

Are the guys in your group familiar with Elric? That would be a big influence on the style of the pitch.

In any case, I'd call it "Epic dark fantasy; the PCs play adventurers in a maritime world of danger and decadence."

ANd then add details specific to your campaign.

Their familiarity is seventh hand at best.

I'm having a real writers block issue with the pitch(es) this time around . I only have till Monday to sort it out or I can see us doing another D&D game :roll: .

how about:

A rich and powerful "fantasy" setting filled with adventuring opportunities ranging from simple investigating lost ruins of the Bright Empire or their enemies the Dhazi Beast Lords, play at politics in the warring Young Kingdoms of Humantiy, or risk life and soul venturing on to the Dreaming Isle of Melnibone. Balance your allegiance between Law and Chaos or sell your soul to one of these Higher Powers. If this realm is too small for you - voyage to other worlds in the multiverse to bring salvation or damnation to their peoples.
