Mongoose Elric RPG?

[vongarr]

The Traveler announcement had me going to the mongoose website where I saw the new Elric RPG. It had a release date of June 2007. Does anyone have it? Also, how is the system it uses? I looked at a character sheet, and it looked a bit "old school." Not in a good way, either.

I just leafed through it at a game shop I go to. Can't say much about it. Seems to have a lot of background material, and the artwork is much, much better than that in many of the RQ books. I've been thinking about picking it up. At first glance, it doesn't look much different from Chaosium's original version, but that opinion will likely change once I get a good long look at it.

I do not own a copy of this game, but am interested too.

In the preview it indicates that the Runequest system is used, but that the Elrik game is "self contained". So it looks as if the game is compatible with Runequest, but has all the rules you need for play in one book. There is a Runequest SRD on the Mongoose website that may give you some insight into the system used.

See http://www.multiverse.org/fora/showthread.php?t=5621 for some discussion, but not a lot substantive about the book yet.
