Alastair Reynolds has that idea as part of his Revelation Space history. Unfortunately the AI/robots aren't up to the job, and fail to fully humanise the colonists, with disastrous results.

You could have some handy nanotech whip up some equipment from local materials to create either meat or robotic bodies for your crew at the end of a journey to colonise a planet/asteroid . However Stross forgets that a coke sized vehicle would need shielding as cosmic rays would penetrate whatever computational substrate was being used, causing damage.

Seneschal's link isn't very direct. There is a much better page that shows this toy critter. http://sometimescomicsarejustcrap.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/membrane-man.html

That sounds like Godwar: How to Run a multiverse Campaign, by Mike Sweeney, in DW # 29. The PCs work for Tao, or Tau, to correct imbalances throughout the multiverse.

Thank you very much for that information nclarke.

In the Keeper's Companion 2 there is an article on mythos machines used by the various creatures (called Mythos ex Machina if I remember correctly). I seem to remember a set of artificial eyes that can analyze the DNA of anything it looks on. Am I getting this right? I wish I could find what the thing is called and who made it, or better still what scenario it appeared in. Does anyone have the slightest idea of what I'm on about or should I get some psychoanalysis done on myself?

The Chorazin (an avatar of cthulhu) from the Malleus Monstrorum appears to be a rip off of the martian plasma being that hangs over London in the Quatermass movie.

Since CoFE is possibly being republished in a larger format, and RQ 6 rules, I thought we should peruse these fine creature stats again. You never know when they might come in handy, or tentacley in the case of the Daagathla.

I'm glad to see CoFE getting the amount of pages it deserves. RQ6 is the rising star of BRP with some quality publications. I hope that CoFE goes from strength to strength with a company that can support it and that it eventually becomes a much loved classic setting like Glorantha is.

Tack så mycket clarence.

Thank you for your offer of help Chorpa.

Thanks. The picture file looks too large to load it onto this page so I'll send it to you.

Thank you very much. I don't know what version, but hopefully it is an earlier one that is more compatable with BRP. I have one other page from DoD to do with theurgists that could do with translating too, but I couldn't download it due to some form of restriction on file size in a thread. If you are up for it Clarence could you please translate the next page if I post it in a new thread?

Are they useable for BRP?

Can someone please translate these rules from Drakar och Demoner?

It was also used for the cover of the republished WOW BRP introduction to the Chaosium System.

It's a good job that I recently purchased Slaves of Fate then.

On the Mongoose forum Matt Sprange wrote "...I regret to say there will be no further Elric books forthcoming in the foreseeable future." So we'll most likely not see it in that form in the future. However, havercake lad, one of the writers working on the book, notes that "I am sure a good deal of the material I wrote for Talons of Winter will get used in some RPG system. I'm sorry for anyone who kept campaigns on hold waiting for the book, I had sent the draft in over a year ago and it was recieved very positively by its playtesters. I'd urge budding RPFG writers not to be discouraged by projects like this, I gather situations like this happen to far better writers. Ideally the book is best left as uinchanged (sic) as possible and placed in a Young Kingdoms campaign setting, but if no one goes for the license then I will try to get parts of it published in another RPG setting such as RQ6's The Realm (RQ6) or in Uma (Orbis Terrarum)." So we may yet see some of the setting published in some other non YK supplement.

The Elric! line has been defunct for a long time, if memory serves it stopped around 2001. Mongoose produced the MRQ based Elric of Melnibone game, the last version of which covered many eras of the Young kingdoms. If the Lords of Chaos are on our side we may yet see Talons of Winter published as a Legend supplement, or not.

Cheers Nick. I recently bought Slaves of Fate, and I saw an advert in the back mentioning Straits of Chaos. It is a pity that a manuscript doesn't appear to exist for SoC.

Splice it with some Stormbringer fifth edition rules, but with a generic fantasy setting, and call it Rune World.

Mongoose were the last company to hold the licence for YK stuff. I wonder if Mongoose are still going to do a Legend supplement for Xanardwys? I'm sure that city would fit nicely into a Magic world setting. http://www.multiverse.org/fora/showthread.php?t=26167

Yes I know it was for DLOM thanks, but was it ever published? And if it was, has anyone converted it to Elric!/Stormbringer 5th edition?

We can only hope that the Mongoosians get enough cash fom somewhere to publish the rest of this supplement. What a pity that the pdf doesn't add back in what was cut out. Mind you, uncut Pete Nash's full fell magic, of the bloody kind, is perhaps too much of a threat to humanity. Maybe some group of plucky investigators did us a favour by removing such eldritch horror?
