4.0 out of 5 stars Another Classic Chaosium RPG, March 28, 2000

This review is from: Michael Moorcock's Stormbringer: Fantasy Roleplaying in the World of Elric (Paperback)

This book is a complete RPG game published by Chaosium, detailing the world of Michael Moorcock's Elric saga. The players usually take the roles of human explorers in the Young Kingdoms, although other race information is provided. The Elemental Gods (so frequently invoked by Elric) are described and a system for magic spells is also given. The game was revised and republished under the title Elric! some years later, however many people I know consider Stormbringer a better work. Like other Chaosium-produced games (Ringworld, Elfquest, Runequest, and Call of Cthulhu) skills are done on a d100 system and stats usually range from 2d6 to 3d6+6, depending on racial packages. Thus, if you know one game, it is pretty easy to pick up another. Of course, there are some minor differences from system to system, so it is not a truly universal RP system. I did like this game and would recommend it to any Moorcock, Chaosium, or fantasy fan.

I was very pleased with the condition of the item. Though it was a bit beat up around the edges on the outside, it was pristine within. All of the maps and images are intact. I'm a huge fan of Michael Moorcock and his anti-hero, the albino Emperor of Melnibone, Elric. I enjoy roleplaying and have done so in several different settings. Now I have a chance to take my friends and I on a voyage through Mr Moorcock's Young Kingdoms. It makes me incredibly happy.
