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.

I would have used that cover too. Nostalgia is a strong force.

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.

The magic supplement for Dragonbane has demonology in it which is similar but I think Thomas and crew will be giving us a new magic system just for Elric much how they are for the Trudvang books.

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

Goodman Games are the problomatic ones. Beyond their continued funding of judgesguild and lying about it, they have long been neo confederates. Their first published RPG was good old boy confederates riding dinosaurs to defeat the evil union industrialist on another planet Dixie flags and all.

At least this one doesn't have any links to Darth Sidious

Let the two systems fight for domination Highlander style.

Or Elric/Yyrkoon 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.

Dragonbane is pretty much BRP/5 (d20 instead of d100)

I will take this one instead of the other one tainted with brown stuff.

Both in 2027.

The Goodman Games Backerkit page says June 2027.

I wonder if that means that Backerkit will have an Elric month around that time. That would be a good opportunity for smaller 3PP to create related projects like adventures.
