Originally posted by StarrmanWith Elric, I suppose there's just more scope for weirdness. Also, being an aspect of Eternal Champion, he sometimes has access to other parts of the Multiverse, eg. shooting down German bombers with his dragons ...
Can you tell me more about the models evident in these pieces? I've read some Moorcock and have actually played the Elric book RPG, which doesn't really differ from the usual AD&D setup at all, though that's down more to market forces than a good translation of the author into the game.
Viriconium: deep future, post-post holocaust type scenario, weird beasts, mutants, weaponry that nobody understands but packs a lethal punch, decadent atmosphere, alien threats ...
China Mieville: kind of like a much better Iain M. Banks with eldritch weirdness added on. Too much variety to nail down in one go though.
Le Guin: you know.
