ELRIC! (of Melnibone)
ELRIC! ist die Neuauflage von Sturmbringer¸ ein in Deutschland relativ unbekanntes Rollenspielsystem¸ daß auf dem Roman "Elric von Meliboné - eine Sage vom Ende der Zeit" von Michael Moorcock beruht. Für Sturmbringer gibt es keine Erweiterungen¸ aber für ELRIC! ist schon einiges an Hintergrundmaterial auf Englisch erschienen; so z.B. für die Welt von Corum. Er ist eine Reinkarnation des ewigen Helden¸ dem legendären Kämpfer zwischen Chaos und Ordnung. Das System kennt keine Erfahrungs- oder Abenteuerpunkte. Es ist aber trotzdem möglich¸ daß sich die fast ausschließlich menschlichen Charaktere weiterentwickeln. Die Magie bei Sturmbringer beruht nur auf der Beschwörung von Elementargeister und Dämonen. Bei ELRIC! wurden "normale" Zaubersprüche neu eingeführt. Dank an Georg "Kalimar" Seipler
