System: Elric!

I read Liam Routt's summation of the Elric magic rules with interest, even though I'll admit to being one who's skeptical of a need to do a Stormbringer revision so soon after the 4th appeared. (Or, has it been that long already?) [I don't have the exact date handy, but SB4 has been out for at least 3 years -sda] I do have a couple of questions, though, tied to demon summoning.

One of the reasons I bought 4th edition at all was that I had fallen in love with the "chaos value-point" system. The design-a-demon method is a kick, and giving the player and GM a share in its creation is a piece of perverse genius. Is this method going to remain for those few PC sorcerors the new system will allow? I certainly hope so.

I'm also concerned about the previously-released supplements for 4th edition Stormbringer. Several of them were of quite high quality and I would hate to think that they will become obsolete upon the publication of Elric (not to mention the money I spent on them). If anyone at Chaosium reads this newsletter, please (!) include some conversion notes.
