Wait, an RPG called "Stormbringer"? Is that based off of the Elric novels by Michael Moorcock? If so, is it any good? I'd be interested in looking into something like that, if the RPG resources lived up to the books.
And as a "duh" realization, Moorcock -> Moorkroft?
I so need to get my own introduction done, at some point...

My name is lost to me
I know not who I am
And I await the crimson fires
That'll wash this world away!

Yes, Stormbringer is based on the Elric novels. It is published by Chaosium, and uses a variant of the Call of Cthulhu rules system. I liked it, but some people prefer AD&D for running in the Young Kingdoms. There was also a Hawkmoon game, by the same company. It might be out of print now....
Moorkroft was indeed inspired by Moorcock, the name anyway. My PC is sort of a Puritan adventurer-like Solomon Kane. He is less of a badass , and more gifted in dealing with supernatural threats, however. Various ''preacher with a gun'' characters in old Westerns were an influence , too.

No problem! Have fun on your holidays and thank you for letting us know!kintire wrote:I'm off for two weeks holiday shortly. I believe the hotel should have internet, but just in case it all goes quiet, you'll know why! Just assume Shana is a little out of it...
As to Stormbringer, never played it, but is said to be very cool gaming world... Although I personally prefer Hawkmoon to Elric...

Introduction and language
Hello all.
I will be inserting myself into the game shortly. I will give an IC description at the time. But, I was wondering, what language is everyone speaking, so I will know if I will understand what is said to me.
