[Rq-rules] And next we have...

[grogthing]

I liked the Elric! varient of the BRP game system, but
did not use the Moorecockian setting.

I had never read any Moorecock, until after I had the
Elric! and Stormbringer 5th game books.

After I had read a couple, I wasn't too impressed with
Moorecock actually.

Some interesting ideas, that convert generically into
a good fantasy/sci-fi setting, I kept.

Like the Melnibonen as an "ancient advanced race now
in decline, nearing the end of its prominance".

Thats good setting fodder, just change their name.

I threw out the chaos - law conflict...too much d&d
alignement-like for me.

I like people to be "people" sometimes doing good
things, sometimes doing bad...for their own reasons.
