Subject: Announcement: Hawkmoon!
System: Elric!
Some of you may remember Chaosium's original stab at a Hawkmoon game. Based heavily on
Stormbringer, it had many failings, but did suggest a
strong campaign background and was a sincere attempt to bring Moorcock's Dorian Hawkmoon
to life. I'm a freelancer for Chaosium, and I'm currently working on a new Hawkmoon
supplement for Elric!
The new version is not a game in its own right; rather it is a supplement/ alternative
campaign setting for the Elric! game and as such requires familiarity with the Elric!
rules system. Naturally, Hawkmoon! will feature technology such as flamelances and
ornithopters, but additionally there will be extensive background information on
Granbretan and Europe, as well as new rules for the workings of the Runestaff and how it
influences the adventurers' actions during play. The background material provides
countless scenario ideas, and a full digest of NPCs adds even more; the book rounds out
with a starting scenario designed to lead into a full campaign.
If anyone wants to know more, or you have any questions, mail me at
