There's ANOTHER official Elric RPG in the works... this one from Free League!

Hot on the heels of Goodman Games announcing The Classic Era of Elric, Free League has announced its own officially licensed take on Moorcock's world with the Legends of Stormbringer RPG.

Legends of Stormbringer will use Free League's Dragonbane game engine, and has apparently been in the works for several months.

​

Today, we are thrilled to announce Legends of Stormbringer, a new officially licensed tabletop roleplaying game based on the iconic fantasy works of Michael Moorcock, planned for release in 2027.

Legends of Stormbringer will carry you into the Young Kingdoms – a world of dying empires, warring gods, and doomed heroes – and bring Moorcock’s richly imagined setting to the tabletop using rules mechanics based on our award-winning Dragonbane RPG. The game will feature the same accessible, dynamic, and deadly approach that has made Dragonbane one of our most celebrated titles.

Returning to the Young Kingdoms as setting writer is Richard Watts, whose work on previous Stormbringer RPGs helped define how generations of roleplayers have experienced Moorcock’s world.

“This has been in the works for several months and we’re thrilled to finally share the news,” said Tomas Härenstam, CEO of Free League Publishing. “We are honored to bring Elric and the Young Kingdoms to the tabletop once more.”

Further details – including crowdfunding plans and additional creative team announcements – will be revealed at a later date.

This one I am interested in!

...how curious.

 

[Fenris-77]

Hmm. I love me some Elric and some Freeleague, but I wonder whether the magic system from Dragonbane is the right fit for an Elric RPG.

 

[dbm]

I would assume (hope) that there will be a custom magic system, just like there was in the BRP version of the game.

This is perfect! Exactly what I want...and I didn't even know I wanted it until I received the email.

I would think there will be a new summoning magic and stuff to make it feel like the world.

But, Dang! This makes me happy! (And zero Neo-Nazi adjacent people involved)

Goodman Games cut ties with Judges Guold so I dont think there's any neo nazis to worry about.

Let the two systems fight for domination Highlander style.

And for all those folks hoping for a BRP Version sounds like all it would take is for someone to pay the licensing fee.

Don't know much about Elric but my buddy raves about the books. Not interested in the DCC (meh) or 5e (hell no) versions in the least, but a Dragonbane version from Free League? This I could get behind.
