An overrated one at best. May in the year 2098?

Chaosium have annouced that they are publishing Enlightened Magic, a Western Tradition Sorcery & Alchemy Sourcebook for Basic Roleplaying. Enlightened Magic combined with the newest, long awaited, edition Cthulhu by Gaslight looks like it would make for a great Victorian occult game. I get tired of the Cthulhu mythos being the only "occult" background for BRP and would like to see more. Nephilim didn't work for me as there wasn't an option to play the nephilim as the bad guys. Maybe Enlightened Magic will kickstart a small diversion from the path of the Cthulhu mythos?

Oh, so its not just a reference to them after all. Good. So there is plenty of stuff (a whole chapter, as you write) to do with elves, or as they were known to the Norse, the Alfar. I know the difference between full on Tolkienistic fantasy and a more historical, more realistic fantasy, with the fantasy elements a lot less full on. I never wrote that "you have elves running over the place (sic) all time." That is your misconception. You were the one that misled me into thinking that there were no stats for the Alfar when you wrote this... When in fact there is an entire chapter on them, according to you, with yummy yummy stats. Thats what I am looking for. Thanks for elaborating on the contents of the book. I will definately buy if it ever appears in book form.

Any supplement that has the term "Mythic" in its title and deals with an Icelandic/Norse setting had better have the original concepts of elves and dwarves, Alfar and Dvergar, mentioned in it; otherwise it isn't doing its job. If there are no stats for them I'm glad that I bought MRQII Vikings, which does more than reference them, and the mythic elements in that setting are also optional. They are very different from the original Norse concepts. Gimli would be a statue if he went about in daylight if he was more like the Norse Dvergar, and Alfar can be more like spirits at times than physical creatures.

I think you'll find plenty of elves and dwarfs in Mythic Iceland. The original concepts from which Tolkien derived his fantasy folk.

Ég er svo leiðist.... Its taking an eternity.

Wondering when Mythic Iceland is out in paper form?

8 weeks is an eternity:_(

Does this get some kind of award for the longest time for a supplement to get published?

Thanks for the welcome Trifletraxor.

Very imaginative 1d8+DB.

How would you have handled this problem/design quirk?

And too nice to be evil;)

Hello. I just got here from Facebook via Vile Traveller's wall ( I think he is known as just Vile around here).

I have been lurking too long and have decided to join the ranks of BRP Central. It is nice and easy logging in from Facebook.

1d8+DB, will you write the next CoFE supplement please?
