Side panels are red. * Rule book is green or maroon * Map is red/rust color. * 2006-X product code I've heard of a simple 2006 product code, but have never seen it, and Chaosium always used -X for boxes. 1st edition, 2nd printing (1983?): * Went to the "thin, shallow" box style. Box graphics subtly changed, the most noticeable change being "Michael Moorcock's" above the "Stormbringer" title. Side panels are now black. * Rulebook has errata printed on the inside cover. * Still has 2006-X product code. * Map is red/rust, with pink shading. 1st edition, 3rd printing (1984): * Went to 2101-X product code, otherwise contents, box the same as the 2nd print.

Imperial garrisons in the far-flung Southern Kingdoms are brought home to Imrryr, the dreaming city, their need apparently past. Upon this vacuum the greedy theocrat of Pan Tang cast a crafty eye.

Stormbringer (4th ed) replaced the 3rd edition. I have a spotlight on the printings, and missing map & color plates at the Our game blog. This edition (in the 1990 printings) contains some nice pieces of color art in the center, by Frank Brunner In the Forest of Troos, Death of Cymoril, Elric the White Wolf), Nick Smith (Chaos Warlord, Pyaray), Keith Berdak (Demon Damsel), and Mark Roland (Cymbaline). -Wayne "STORMBRINGER is a roleplaying game based on a series of novels written by British writer Michael Moorcock. In these tales he describes Elric, the albino Prince of an empire that ruled the Young Kingdoms for 10,000 years but has settled, into a long decline. Now new nations are on the rise in the Young Kingdoms, new heroes have come to the fore, and new stories wait to be told. This book includes everything you need to tell such 'heroic adventures: an introduction to the Young Kingdoms (the world of Elric); instructions and examples for character creation; how to run a STORMBRINGER game session; complete background information about the inhabitants and nations of the Young Kingdoms including dozens of earthly creatures and creatures of chaos (plus methods of creating your own creatures); game statistics for the major characters described in Moorcock's tales including Elric of Melnibone and Stormbringer, his powerful runesword; religions in the Young Kingdoms; many adventures ready to play. • revised and expanded demon-creation rules • many new interior illustrations • eight full-color plates • updated character & demon sheets • five ready-to-play adventures • complete, revised rules" "This book is a complete RPG game published by Chaosium, detailing the world of Michael Moorcock's Elric saga. The players usually take the roles of human explorers in the Young Kingdoms, although other race information is provided. The Elemental Gods (so frequently invoked by Elric) are described and a system for magic spells is also given. The game was revised and republished under the title Elric! some years later, however many people I know consider Stormbringer a better work. Like other Chaosium-produced games (Ringworld, Elfquest, Runequest, and Call of Cthulhu) skills are done on a d100 system and stats usually range from 2d6 to 3d6+6, depending on racial packages. Thus, if you know one game, it is pretty easy to pick up another. Of course, there are some minor differences from system to system, so it is not a truly universal RP system. I did like this game and would recommend it to any Moorcock, Chaosium, or fantasy fan." ...from Amazon reviewer "Derek Petrey" 1990, 1992 ... 192 pages ... CHAO 2110 ...

"The multiverse is a complex system of intertwined universes, each unique, with peculiar physical laws, varying influences of the gods of Law and Chaos, and differing in the degree to which the use of magic and technology are effective. Heroes of sufficient cunning and ability traverse the physical barriers between these universes by means of special devices, spells, or magical portals. Risking their very existence, such heroes reap the reward of fabulous magical knowledge or exotic technological weaponry. The Rogue Mistress is a vessel able to navigate among these million universes — a pirate ship of ancient origin, captained by the beautiful Maria de Tres Pistolas who leads an exotic free-booting crew gathered from across the Million Spheres. The adventurers encounter the Rogue Mistress as the result of a foul trap laid by Pollidemia, an immensely powerful sorceress. Using monstrous demon allies, she forces the adventurers to do her bidding in a manner so fiendish that she ensures their loyalty and cooperation. If successful, she promises to make them whole once again. ROGUE MISTRESS presents a high-powered, dangerous campaign for either the Storm-bringer or Hawkmoon roleplaying games. ROGUE MISTRESS features eight chapters, comprehensive listings of new weapons, additional races from which new adventurers can be created, plentiful illustrations1, plans, and diagrams, and new rules and clarifications for the Stormbringer roleplaying game." 1991 ... 144 pages ...

Slaves of the Demon Isle ... Chaos Exultant ... One Who Laughs ... Under the Volcano -Wayne "Pan Tang is a grim island of lurking evil. Wild jungles to the north resound to the roar of a thousand tigers — the animal sacred to Chardhros the Reaper. The Plain of Glass divides the island, a shining wasteland of ancient volcanic catastrophe. The farmland to the south is a living hell to the slaves who work the great plantations. The capital of Pan Tang is Hwamgaarl, the City of Screaming Statues. Tigers walk among men and feed when they please. Sorcerers study dark knowledge and summon awesome horrors from other planes to do their bidding. The citizens of Hwamgaarl take their pleasure in the Gardens of Pain, gather their knowledge at the University of Lucid Perversity, and propitiate the Lords of Chaos at the Palace-Temple of the Theocrat. Jagreen Lern is the Theocrat of Pan Tang, presiding over this nightmare land. A new age is coming, and his armies are ready. Other nations of the Young Kingdoms already plot against Melnibone, and soon those plots bring war. Pan Tang hovers, vulture-like, awaiting the results of the first violent clash of Young Kingdom armies against the remaining might of Melnibone. Though Melnibone has ruled the world for 10,000 years, in only a small fraction of that time will it be destroyed." 1991 ... 144 pages ... CHAO 2112 ...

"A thousand years ago a great war between the Dharzi and Melnibone' eliminated the ancient race of sorcerers from the Young Kingdoms, and established the Dragon Lords as masters of the world. Far to the north of Melnibone', the family of a lesser lord took the caverns of a tall, black island as their home, transforming the former laboratory of a Dharzi sorcerer into a magnificent abode. Then, the Bright Empire began its inexorable decline, and the caverns were abandoned. Four hundred and fifty years have past, and something dark and vile now inhabits this isle, warping the natural order of living things and twisting their very beings into hideous monsters. Lord Straasha summons the adventurers to the coast of Tarkesh, bordering the frigid Pale Sea and the unholy domain of forbidden Pan Tang. Visions of bloody waves ceaselessly haunt their dreams, presaging a doom to come should the heroes fail to heed Straasha's urgent call. PERILS OF THE YOUNG KINGDOMS provides five independent adventures for the STORMBRINGER roleplaying game. Each of these adventures explores places scattered across the world of the Young Kingdoms, revealing marvelous, mysterious, and treacherous locales such as the Floating Realm, a sargasso sea of ruined ships; the Link Machine, an engine of law which slowly mutates the winged Myrrhyn race; and a Chaos Storm, carrying the chaos pack of Queen Xiombarg, which hastens the appearance of the Infinite Cathedral of Gormweller the God Seller." 1991 ... 120 pages ...

Sailing into port, visitors are impressed with the magnificent buildings, the splendid markets, and friendly people. Few see the undercurrents, the dirty deals, and the politics which threaten to rip apart the apparent serenity of the island. The Isle of Purple Towns is a haven for adventurers, a safe port to count money and plan future deeds of daring. It lies literally in the middle of the world, and ships sail from Purple Towns ports to every other nation. It can form an excellent foundation for your ST0RMBRINGER roleplaying campaign. SEA KINGS OF THE PURPLE TOWNS provides adventures and background for the STORMBRINGER roleplaying system.

Elric! replaced Stormbringer (4th ed). "This RPG has proved brilliant and entertaining for both novice role-player and experienced, for both those familiar with Moorecock's work and those who are not. I'll be the first to admit that the release of 3rd edition D&D has distracted me from this ingenious work of dark fantasy but before 3rd edition came out this system was the only one out of the many I have played in my 12 years of gaming to hold my attention (there are plenty of new rules that cropped up in 3rd edition that look familiar to ones in this book). The system of incresing abilities and skills is much better than the much acclaimed 3rd edition D&D. This game is also a much more "realistic" RPG than anything that TSR or Palladium ever put out. The fact that characters do not gain levels but instead increase their various skill and ablities by practicing them is a BIG step towards working realism in RPGs. There are none of the class restrictions found in other RPGs in this game. You can do what you learn how to do. And for those of us tired of explaining why our worlds are not controlled by the blatantly more powerful elven and dwarven races, this games' human-only content is quite refreshing. There is of course the non-human race known as the Melniboneans but they are little more (functionally speaking) than an eldritch and sorcerous race of decadent humans. My only complaints are that the book is paperback and that more people don't realize it's brilliance. Combat is extremely well laid out with an unsurpassed balance of realism, utility, and entertainment. Even if you do not plan to run the campaign this book is FULL of great ideas applicable to any RPG from personal character quirk lists to a great and novel system of allegiance to the forces of law and chaos.

"Melnibone is an island, an archipelago set amidst the oldest ocean. For 10,000 years the bright empire of Melnibone ruled the world. The folk of Melnibone are not human, and their race is far older than humanity. Powerful sorcerers, their magic comes easily to them, as easy as breathing. They forged unthinkable pacts with demon gods, shaped the elements and lands to their liking, and tamed dragons and rode them to conquest. Age has dulled the bright empire, tarnished its beauty, and weakened its people. The empire rots from within. Soon a new emperor will come to the Ruby Throne, and rescue Melnibone from its dotage. Elric is that emperor, a brooding albino unhappy with his pre-ordained life. He rails against the gods of chaos, his culture, and his proud ancestors. Will he bring the bright empire back to its former glory, or send it to its extinction?" 1993 ... 128 pages ... Chaosium 2901 ...

”It was a rich time and a dark time. The time of the Sword Rulers.” "The balance between Chaos and Law has tipped. Barbarian hordes sweep across the land while civilization decays in doomed castles. Eldritch beasts terrorize the innocent. Arcane technologies are all but lost and foul Chaotic magic corrupts land and sea alike. In the age to come a cursed Prince will seek his destiny across this dying world. His path will be vengeance, his ultimate goal ... to confront the gods themselves. What deeds will herald his coming? What heroes will prepare his way? In this supplement for the acclaimed role-playing game Stormbringer you can adventure in an heroic fantasy setting based on the World of the Five Planes created by the master of fantasy, Michael Moorcock. You will confront the most bizarre monsters and foil the deadliest plots on this and other planes of the Multiverse as you battle to free yourself and your world from the machinations of the gods. Adventure as a Vadhagh - aristocratic and solitary; or as one of their one-time rivals, the Nhadragh - now overwhelmed by the extinction of their civilization; or as a Mabden human faced with choice - to serve the barbaric forces of Chaos or the Lawful ideals of the waning elder races; or as one of the Shalafen who dwell in Coral Castles in the midst of the ocean; or a representative of the timorous, dissembling Ragha-da-Kheta of Khoolocrah. Players of Elric! and Stormbringer can even continue to use their established characters in this new milieu. In addition to the geography and history of this unique fantasy world, Corum contains detailed overviews of its major peoples, creatures and customs. Special rules are provided for chariots, for Sorcery, Contriving and other arcane arts, and for creating other planes of the Multiverse. Included are three scenarios which convey the distinctive flavor of Corum’s world, and many exclusive maps. This book has been written as a supplement for Chaosium Inc.’s 5th edition of the Stormbringer roleplaying game, and is completely compatible with its previous edition, called Elric!." 2001 ... 166 pages ...

Players manipulate the armies and personalities of the nations of the Young Kingdoms in an attempt to conquer a world. Mighty spells, ancient artifacts, giant Battle Barges, and fearsome dragons must be met and overcome in addition to the massive armies behind them. The wars of Elric are set in the Young Kingdoms, created by Michael Moorcock in his Elric stories. The player's prize? The gleaming city of Imrryr, ancient capital of the Golden Empire which ruled the world for over 10,000 years. Behind its massive, five-p or tailed seawall, Imrryr sits nearly impregnable. Only one person knows the secret of its entrance, Elric. However, control of Elric is delicate, at best. At exactly the wrong moments his famed, magical, demon-sword Stormbringer wrests control from its Chaos-worshipping master and slays his few friends. Beware also Mournblade, brother to Stormbringer and just as powerful, fickle and deadly. Scenarios in Elric take you from the foundations of the Golden Empire through the later struggles between a waning Imrryr with its imitation-rival Pan Tang. Behind all of the struggles sways and tips the Cosmic Balance, universal measure of the strengths of Law and Chaos in the world. Players must carefully gauge the effect of their magics upon the Balance, for a tip too far toward one or the other heralds the end of the world - either stagnating in perfect order or strangling on eternal change. This box provides you with all of the rules and pieces to participate in this epic struggle." 1981 ... Greg Stafford & Charlie Krank ...

CONTENTS: • Rules booklet (16 pages) • Folding, mounted mapboard • 320 counters (4 sheets) "For millenia, the eldritch race of Melnibone has dominated and ruled the world. Since first the Gods forced them into the world, they have wielded dominion with their bloody might and mystic power. Now, with the inexorable passage of time, Melnibone's grasp is the soft touch of the forgetful elder. Now is the time for the Young Kingdoms. In the dotage of Melnibone, they must rise and assert their dominance over the realms of creation . With vigor and skill, they must bring fire and sword to the fabled halls of Melnibone, sleeping behind the five-portalled Dragon Gate that is their sanctuary. But this arcane gate is not faced lightly. Only Elric, King and Prince of Melnibone, fated Kinslayer and wielder of the dark blade Storm-bringer can solve its mystery. To assure victory, Melnibone must fall. To take Melnibone, the unpredictable powers of Elric, Prince of the Royal Line of Melnibone, must be dared. Elric is a fascinating challenge for one to four players. Each Player commands one or more Young Kingdoms in a desperate struggle to assert their mastery over the world of Elric. Each must search for the bloody ring of victory through war and through facing the mystic challenges of this hoaryland. In all-out conflict, they must carefully maintain the Balance or they will precipitate the end of all existence through the actions that they alone control. The Throne of Dominion stands vacant. You are challenged, nay dared, to march forth, face eternity and conquer all that stands before you. To the victor falls rightful claim to the powers and dominion of Melnibone, to the vanquished, only foul slavery and death can be expected. Elric is based on the classic works of Michael Moorcock, who authorized the creation of this game. Avalon Hill is proud to present this exciting saga as a game for all to enjoy." 1984 ...
