  Please tell me that you realize that Moorcock came first, and D&D alignment is based on his books, not the other way around.

  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 g ood 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.
