Stormbringer is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game published under license by Chaosium . Based on the Elric of Melniboné books by Michael Moorcock , the game takes its name from Elric's sword, Stormbringer (though one edition was published as Elric! ). The rules are based on Chaosium's percentile-dice-based Basic Role-Playing system. [1]

The game uses a variant of Chaosium's Basic Roleplaying , with its own rules for magic and other setting-specific elements. The first three editions are functionally similar, while the fourth edition changed the magic system extensively. Elric! was a substantial reworking of the game, and Stormbringer fifth edition consists of the Elric! rules with additional material from several older, out-of-print supplements incorporated.

Chaosium had already published a boardgame based on Moorcock's Elric of Melniboné series, called Elric in 1977. There have been several editions of the tabletop role-playing game :

In 2007 Chaosium dropped their Eternal Champion license, and it was picked up by Mongoose Publishing . In August 2007, they published Elric of Melniboné by Lawrence Whittaker, which is based on Moongoose's first edition of RuneQuest . [2] A second edition by Lawrence Whittaker and Pete Nash was published in 2010, based on Mongoose's second edition of Runequest. [3] This was discontinued when Mongoose lost the RuneQuest license in 2011. [4] : 116–117

In the February–March 1982 edition of White Dwarf (Issue #29), Murray Writtle gave it an average overall rating of 7 out of 10, and stated that "So, if you want to have single death or glory adventures in the Young Kingdoms, Stormbringer will give you them, but to get a continuing campaign underway will take a certain amount of rewriting and careful thought." [5]

In the January–February 1985 edition of Different Worlds (Issue #38), Keith Herber gave it a top rating of 4 stars out of 4, saying, "I thought Stormbringer not only an excellent adaptation of the Elric series but also found it an extremely enjoyable game. If you have ever read an Elric book (or one of Moorcock's related novels) and wished it could be a game, this is it. If you haven't read one yet do so and then consider the game. You may not find the "doomed" atmosphere to your liking, but around this neighborhood there is a growing movement for a permanent Stormbringer campaign." [6]

In the August 1987 edition of White Dwarf (Issue #92), Jim Bambra called the percentile-based skill resolution system "quick and simple to play." He also liked the experience system, calling it "simple and easy to use with no unwieldy book-keeping required between game sessions." He concluded with a strong recommendation, saying, "Come and enter the world of Elric, you won't be disappointed." [7]

In a 1996 poll of readers conducted by Arcane to determine the 50 most popular roleplaying games of all time, Stormbringer was ranked 25th. Editor Paul Pettengale commented: "A simplified RuneQuest , only set in Elric's world. It captures the spirit of the books, but to play it properly you really need to be familiar with the novels, and they are of the type of fantasy that you either love or loathe." [8]

Stormbringer is the ninth studio album by the English rock band Deep Purple , released in December 1974 and the second studio album to feature the Mk III lineup including vocalist David Coverdale and bassist/vocalist Glenn Hughes .

The cover image of Stormbringer is based on a photo. On 8 July 1927 a tornado near the town of Jasper, Minnesota was photographed by Lucille Handberg. [4] Her photograph has become a classic image, [5] and was used and edited for the album's cover. The same photograph was used for Miles Davis ' album Bitches Brew in 1970 and Siouxsie and the Banshees ' album Tinderbox in 1986.

Stormbringer is the name of the second Elric of Melniboné novel by Michael Moorcock . It is the name of a magical sword described in many novels and comics by Moorcock and others which enjoyed enormous success in the 1960s and 70s. David Coverdale has denied knowledge of this until shortly after recording the album. In an interview with Charles Shaar Murray in the New Musical Express he claimed that the name was from mythology. [6] A few years later, Moorcock collaborated with Blue Öyster Cult to write " Black Blade ," a song that actually was about the sword Stormbringer. [7]

According to Glenn Hughes, the slurred gibberish that is spoken by Coverdale at the beginning of the title track just prior to the first verse is the same backwards dialogue that Linda Blair 's character utters in the film The Exorcist , when she is questioned by the priest. [8]

In a posthumous review Alex Henderson of AllMusic writes that " Stormbringer falls short of the excellence of Machine Head and Who Do We Think We Are , but nonetheless boasts some definite classics – including the fiery "Lady Double Dealer," the ominous title song (a goth metal treasure), the sweaty "High Ball Shooter," and the melancholy ballad "Soldier of Fortune." [9]

Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore left Deep Purple following Stormbringer and its subsequent tour, publicly citing his dislike for the funky direction the band was taking. [14] Glenn Hughes nevertheless praises the album and Blackmore's contributions: "People who listen to Stormbringer , please listen...Ritchie Blackmore is damn funky, whether he likes it or not. He played wonderfully on the album." [15]

In 1990, the album was remastered and re-released in the US by Metal Blade Records , with distribution by Warner Bros.

The Friday Music label released a version in the United States on 31 July 2007 (along with Made in Europe and Come Taste the Band ). It is unclear which tapes were used as a source for this release, but the label's website claims that the album was digitally remastered (but not expanded).

Additionally EMI (Deep Purple's label for much of the world outside the US) worked with Glenn Hughes on a remastered, expanded version of the album (much like the Burn rerelease) which included bonus remixes and alternative takes.

On 23 February 2009 the 35th Anniversary Edition of Stormbringer was released for the European/international market only. The release was expanded into a limited edition two-disc set: the first disc contained the full remastered album along with the new remixes, and the second disc was a DVD containing the quadraphonic mix in 5.1 audio as originally released in the USA on Quad reel back in 1974. After a limited run of the CD/DVD edition, the album became available in a single CD edition. A limited double gatefold vinyl edition was also released.
