A new edition will be needed to integrate the new Arkwright graphic novel Bryan is working on for release next year, so nothing is going to happen for at least a year and half (and more likely two years). 7 1 Quote The Design Mechanism: Publishers of Mythras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill the barbarian Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Wow, one more post having finished watching this, I am amazed at how nice Newt and Low are and how much they love the hobby. Good to see I am spending money on great products made by good folk. Looking forward to giving you some cash one day, Newt. 4 Quote ... remember, with a TARDIS, one is never late for breakfast!

NurgleHH Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Being honest i hoped for a new setting a bit more like stormbringer - dark and grim. In the moment Mythras feels a bit like "my little pony" (Take care, it is meant in an ironic way!). So, instead of Luther 2, why not Not-Elric 1????

Joerg Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 An Elric license doesn't seem to be up for grabs, but a grimdark apocalyptic champion with the serial numbers filed off might be possible. But then, why limit that to a single champion, possibly the GM's Mary Sue? Sandy Petersen has just published a Planet Apocalypse book for 5E, a guide to end your current campaign's universe. Maybe a Mythras version might be possible? Quote Telling how it is excessive verbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loz Whitaker, and Pete Nash, already did a sterling job doing Elric of Melnibone for Mongoose RQII, which is compatable with Mythras. You should check it out, NurgleHH. 😁 Edited May 7, 2021 by Conrad 1 Quote http://www.basicrps.com/core/BRP_quick_start.pdf A sense of humour and an imagination go a long way in roleplaying.

Thing is, if you know what you are doing, Elric can easily be incorporated into Luther Arkwright’s multiverse. And, yes, I’d like to see a new Stormbringer too, by whoever but, for whatever reason, it isn’t happening. As Conrad points out, the last game version of Elric of Melniboné was released as a Mongoose RuneQuest II supplement, entirely compatible with Mythras.

Conrad Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 I would think that Elric, in his Young Kingdoms form, would be a bit incongruous for Luther Arkwright, but as Monsieur Zenith he would fit right in. 😁 Quote http://www.basicrps.com/core/BRP_quick_start.pdf A sense of humour and an imagination go a long way in roleplaying.

So, to help answer why we'd prioritise Luther 2 over than an Elric-With-The-Serial-Numbers-Filed-Off... For all Luther Arkwright fans out there... PRESS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Three River Studios Options Bryan Talbot’s Graphic Novel Series The Adventures of Luther Arkwrightand Heart of Empire London, 28 April 2021: Three River Studios today announces it has optioned the rights to develop, finance and produce a live action, returnable TV series based on Bryan Talbot’s ground-breaking and multi-award winning graphic novels: The Adventures of Luther Arkwright and its sequel Heart of Empire. You can read the full press release at http://www.bryan-talbot.com/.../Press Release - The... Now, Three River Studios is owned by one Jonathan Drake, the creator of Thennla ('Shores of Korantia' & 'The Taskan Empire'), one of the Mythras lines. We helped Jon and Bryan connect when we licensed the rights to the Arkwright roleplaying game, so TDM had a small part to play in this exciting news... We're really thrilled that Luther Arkwright will be coming to television, and offer our hearty congratulations to Bryan and Three River Studios! 7 1 Quote The Design Mechanism: Publishers of Mythras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luther runs pretty darned grimdark, honestly; particularly if you WANT to lean on the grimdark! Lots of people see close parallels between Luther & Moorcock's Eternal Champion characters (to the extent that both Talbot fans & Moorcock fans have accused the other author of plagarism! The authors, AIUI, once got together with a gentlemens' agreement to offer some credit and apology one way or t'other, if they could figure out who had plagarized whom, but -- after some hours wrangling, consulting respective calendars&records, and sharing a few drinks -- concluded that neither had known of the others' work, when they had written their own... "great minds thinking alike" and products-of-their-times, etc ) . 4 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick J. Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Michael Moorcock also wrote a really nice foreword for the Arkwright Integral omnibus I have on my shelf. You can really get a sense of MM's appreciation and fondness for Talbot's work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
