This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Any cool campaigns in Moorcock's world? (Elric/Stormbringer/Multiverse etc)

"Ding" that reminds me: someone was gushing about how good this one was years ago. I haven't read a single Corum story though.

For those who did play; were the players all human? If you look at the original stories translated to RPG terms, some (like the story Stormbringer) is super-high level play where Elric is literally fighting gods, and others are much lower level (but still high compared to many RPGs). Did you accumulate a lot of demons bound to items etc?

The only non-human players were Melniboneans or Mabden (Pan Tangans).  Most were regular humans. The sorcerers had lots of bound demons and elementals, depending on their power level, of course.  The game was wildly unbalanced as far as power levels go; a party could have beggars and sailors adventuring with high-level sorcerers.  Still, it worked and was very fun.
I know how the illegals feel. I'm an alcoholic & they keep setting up these random DUI checkpoints. You have no idea what a chilling effect this has had on the alcoholic community. I know people who are too terrified to even drink & drive anymore. I am literally shaking... mostly in my hands...
