What it says on the title. Most (all?) of the considerable Chaosium Stormbringer/Elric! catalogue is available in PDF, and since Mongoose has only released one setting book for MRQII/Legend Elric (which I know nothing about, BTW -- has anyone here picked it up? What's it like?), I'm on the lookout for good setting material for Young Kingdoms adventuring.

I'm using MRQII but as far as I can tell, conversion should be trivial.

Rogue Mistress was an interesting campaign and about half of the adventures are easy to modify into one-shots.

If you can find it, you may want to look at the Corum RPG and see if that setting would be fun for you. It's BRP so MRQ won't be difficult to convert to and Corum is one of the Eternal Champions, but his world is more Celtic / fairytale-ish than Elric's.

I second Spinachcat's recommendation of the Corum supplement (designed for Elric!/SB5e), if you can track down a copy (I believe that Chaosium may still be selling copies).

The MRQII setting supplement, Cities of the Young Kingdoms, is excellent.  It covers three cities on the southern continent.  I played in a campaign over the spring and summer which focused on the city of Ryfel (a Chaotic outpost of Pan Tang), and it was one of the best role-playing experiences I've had in years.  My only complaint with this supplement is that the maps are kind of crap (this is a problem with Mongoose's products in general).

Lawrence Whitaker ('Loz') co-wrote MRQII and is responsible for the MRQII Elric materials.  His work is consistently top-notch (since I know Loz personally, I'm a bit biased, but I had a very high opinion of his work even before I met him).

Chaosium's Atlas of the North Kingdoms for Elric! is superb.  I've also heard great things about the Melnibone setting book, but have yet to read it carefully myself (though I own both PDF and paper copies, I've only skimmed it).

I think that Fate of Fools for Elric! is worth checking out.

I like the 4e setting book, Sea Kings of the Purple Towns.  I think that a decent campaign could be based on the Purple Towns with this book, the adventures in the Elric! corebook, and the adventure in the Elric! GM screen.  They could be tied into the adventures in Fate of Fools.

Loz's The Unknown East is great for campaigns set there, and introduces an entirely new magic system (not much use, though, if you're using MRQII/Legend).

Really, though, most of the products for Stormbringer and Elric! were quite good.

Oh yeah, lots of free, high-quality goodies here:

Wanna hear something funny?

I am pretty sure I have never had a physical copy of this game in my presence, and know virtually nothing about it other than the earlier editions were BRP based.  And I might even be wrong about that.

Carry on.  

I know I had several sourcebooks for this game over the years, but I can't for the life of me remember almost anything about any of them; so I must not have had very good ones.

Akrasia and Spinachcat, thanks for the suggestions! I'll be checking out some of your suggestions.

Heh. I believe you. I'd never guess, though.

I'd never guess that, either. Did you actually get to play the game?

I only played it a few times, maybe a dozen sessions in my lifetime.  It never seemed to really coalesce into being able to do a full-blown campaign, for some reason.

Quote from: Akrasia;484870Chaosium's Atlas of the North Kingdoms for Elric! is superb.

Whoops.  This should be: Altas of the Young Kingdoms: The Northern Continent.

Anyhow, I think that it's probably the single best resource for running a YK campaign, assuming that it will be focused on the Northern Continent, of course.  Also, it is largely (though not entirely) stat-free, and thus could easily be used with any version of SB/E!.

There are no adventures in it, unfortunately, but the adventures in Fate of Fools are largely set on the Northern Continent, so the two supplements would work well together.

The quality definitely improved with the supplements for Stormbringer 4e (early 1990s), and the ones for Elric! (/SB5e), published in the mid-late 1990s, were generally excellent (IMO).

The Elric books for MRQII also are superb, but there are only three (so far), and only one of those is a setting/adventure book.

I see. The first time I ran Stormbringer would have been in the very early nineties; then again in the late 90s, then again around 2004; none of which were very succesful games, as I mentioned.
