Marcus Bone

As in the authors of the free Stormbringer adventures 'Shadows of the Past' and 'Sands of Time' (and which used to be available on the Chaosium website). I know it is unlikely, but here seemed as good a place as any to start my hunt Marcus

Just a quick note to say I've uploaded the Loz interview to www.stormbringerrpg.com. Special thanks to Damon (Merak Gren) for taking the time to eyeball the document! Marcus

Hi All, Sorry to everyne who replied to me and hasn't seen a reply from me. If you have tried to contact me about this (and hasn't heard back from me), please drop a reply in this thread and I'll PM you directly! Marcus

...to cast an eye over an interview I did with Lawrence Whitaker for the Stormbringer! site. There's a little bit of a rush on it, as I want to get it and another interview I've done (with Jason Durall) up before the end of the month. If you're interested in helping, feel free to post/PM me here or email me at stormbringerrpg@gmail.com Thanks! Marcus

Well it took a bit more than an hour, but the result - nevertheless - is that the correct copy of Charles Green's Gods of Law in the Young Kingsdoms is now up and available at - http://www.stormbringerrpg.com Hey Steve, the correct copy is 112 pages in lenght and has bookmarks in the Table of Contents (plus other things like a hi-res cover image, etc.) As always, comments are welcomed! Marcus

That's odd - I downloaded it from there here at work - which was how I knew I'd uploaded the wrong version I'lll be home in an hour or so to fix!

As long promise, Charles' Gods of Law in the Young Kingdoms is now available for download at www.stormbringerrpg.com. Edit - OPPPS! Looks like I've uploaded an incomplete copy. I will fix this tonight! Please note that the new site was recently hacked, so if you notice anything odd, we'd love to know! Marcus

Interesting stuff! I understand that the contracts around the Monographs is for one print run only (hence the agreements I have with the authors to put them up on stormbringerrpg.com). Hopefully this does something to revive the interest in SB even more! Marcus

Well obviously I'm a big fan of 5th edition and the previous Elric! rules... no surprise really when I run the stormbringerrpg.com site As for the discussion around Elric in your adventures... I'm pretty sure 5th edition is based (as a default) during the first year of Elric's reign, hence he still sits on the Ruby Throne rather than being out and about in the Young Kingdoms.

As some here might know, I used to edit and produce the Unbound Book fanzine, and previously laid out a couple of the Stormbringer Monographs back in the day. While I'm not intending to throw myself into something like a fanzine again (I really don't think that there is a 'space' for such a publication these days), I am interested in offering my "abilities" to help out with the layout/editing any Monographs that might be being prepped for delivery to Chaosium now or in the future. If you are interested, please feel free to PM me. Marcus (Binder of the Unbound Book) P.S. I am posting this here as I can't seem to post in the Monograph and Supplements forum.

I grabbed the Ravenar Saga for Cthulhu Dark Ages. Been after it for a while and was keen to do some Viking madness... Marcus

Hi All, Gods of Law will be up on Stormbringerrpg.com soonish. I've also got an interview with Jason Durall and an audio recording of a SB session to put up as well... As for my excuse, well actually I've finishing up a supplement for another game (Dungeonslayers) and am doing a bunch of things for GUMSHOE. Thanks for bearing with me. Marcus

*cough, cough* Hi All, Unfortunately while SBRPG.com hasn't been high on my radar recently... I do have a couple of things in the pipeline - GoL being one of them. No breath holding, but it will appear - honest! Marcus

With the Chaosium 30% off sale on at the moment, how could I do anything except buy it straight away! Quality stuff, John - I should finish writing up that adventure I ran at a local Con here last year and give it to you! Marcus

Well, it's taken me too long, but here is the March 2009 update! This month we have: Chaos Cults of the Young Kingdom - Charles Green - The long awaited first Monograph Between Law and Chaos - Marcus Bone & Charles Green - An interview with Charles Green The Saviour of Souls - John R. White - A Stormbringer! Story Seed Hopefully more to come in April!

Having missed my September update window (due to my youngest being rushed to hospital), I'm happy to say that there is now a series of new articles available up on Stormbringer! - Supporting the Stormbringer RPG. In this month's update we have: - Calisander - a SB 5th edition adventure set in Old Hrolmar (complete with specifically commissioned art!) - A Brief Guide to Old Hrolmar - a 'cut down' version of Richard Watt's monograph of the same name. - Alternate Magics - an article by Andrea Rocci on adding a little more chaos to magic and summoning in SB. Thanks to all those who have contacted me in the past few months, and yes there are still plans to upload the various SB monographs. When? When I get a chance! Marcus -------------- stormbringerrpg@gmail.com

For what its worth, I agree (although Lern's armour was demon-bound wasn't it?). If there is one thing that annoyed me about Elric/SB it was the overuse of Demon-armour/weapons. The over abundance of magic was up there, but that's for another post! I should also mention that while I'm not a big fan of Mongoose's EoM, I love what Loz has done with Demon summoning, Pacts and Rune magic. I plan on porting this over to my own 20sided conversion at some point. Marcus

Hey Jason, Anything SB you might have would be great to have on the site. I always thought it was a shame that the 'reboot' (i.e. SB5) of the game sort of died before it had a chance to take off and your 'Slaves of Fate' was the only real support. BTW, I should ask - would you be interested in being interviewed for the site? Just a look at your SB work and anything else you might want to 'pimp'... Marcus

Hi All, Just a note to say that the site has been updated with a few more documents. Unfortunately the big document I'd planned for this update isn't ready as yet, but will go up as soon as it is (I'll post again when it is). Cheers, Marcus - Stormbringer! - Supporting the Stormbringer RPG

Good News... I've received permission (from all parties) to upload not only Gods of Law but all of the Stormbringer Monographs to Stormbringerrpg.com. I'm fortunate enough to have .pdf copies of both Old Hrolmar and Gods of Law on my HDD (as I was the one who did the layout) and Charles has kindly forwarded me a copy of his Gods of Chaos Monograph (which I'll reformat to match the other two in style). Don't hold your breath, but they will slowly make their way up to the site! Marcus

Already signed up I've also decided to run 'Ground Zero' at the local Horror Con we have down this neck of the woods around Halloween every year... so I'll report back on that too! Marcus

Just have to say that I also purchased a copy of the PDF during the last Chaosium sale. Fantastic work... I really think that you are on to a winner of a game here (the last time I had this feeling for a CoC setting was Dark Ages!) Looks like my old group (it seems that their new Keeper saw the same sale!) are going to, at the very least, run the adventures on Ottomancer's site. I get to listen in on these (they record the sessions for poor old Marcus stuck at the other end of the country) and so will report back on their progress! Marcus

Hi there, I understand the reasons why you might have a function to limit PMing until a user has posted a certain number of times, but I discovered an issue How does one reply to a PM sent to you? Would be good to allow replies or even block PMs being sent to new users until they are established... Sorry for the rushed post - I'm being dragged away by a NightGaunt as I write this.... Binder

Howdy All, Talking about this, I recently received all the material Richard Watts did for Gods of Law and I'm trying to get Chaosium to allow me to publish it up on Stormbringerrpg.com. I could easily put that (as well as the Guide to Old Hrolmar) up on the site - especially since I did all the layout What I'm really after is a copy of Gods of Chaos, as it is the only SB supplement I don't own... if anyone here does, I'll happily open discussion on purchasing it! Marcus

Hi All, My name is Marcus Bone, and I've recently started a website called Stormbringer! (see Stormbringer! - Supporting the Stormbringer RPG) dedicated to Stormbringer 5th edition (and ELRIC!, the game's previous incarnation). My aim to support this game system, which I think was fantastic, even though Chaosium has now transferred the rights to Mongoose Publishing. There's not much up on the site at the moment, but it will build over time (I have plenty awaiting formatting and art etc.) Comments, feedback and general chatter is always welcome. Regards, Marcus Bone (stormbringerrpg@gmail.com) P.S. I have moved to obtain permissions from all three parties involved (Monngoose, Chaosium and Michael Moorcock) for this site and have received 2 replies so far (positive), awaiting the third.
