Publication history
Shannon Appelcline noted that Chaosium started working on major new role-playing systems at the same time it was entering the fiction field, and for the first time in nearly a decade: "The first was Elric! (1993), a totally new BRP vision of the Young Kingdoms, meant to replace the venerable Stormbringer. Richard Watts and Lynn Willis — the latter fresh from a major overhaul of the Call of Cthulhu rules — were the new game's creators. The new system was cleaner and more balanced. It also downplayed demons and increased the role of common magic — perhaps making it more accessible, particularly in Middle America."[4]Шаблон:Rp
Appelcline explained that Chaosium took a substantial loss on Mythos, and "Chaosium responded by shutting down several of its lines, this time Pendragon, Elric!, Nephilim, and Mythos itself."[4]Шаблон:Rp Appelcline added that "Chaosium also participated in the d20 explosion, though in a fairly minimum way. While re-releasing the Elric! rules as Stormbringer fifth edition (2001), they also published a d20 version of the game called Dragon Lords of Melniboné (2001)."[4]Шаблон:Rp
The supplement The Bronze Grimoire was published in 1994.
