  1. Just finished (re-)reading The History of the #Runestaff by #MichaelMoorcock

    I love his 1960s British pop-culture references, but I don't get all of them:

    • Jhone, Jhorg, Phowl, Rhunga are the #Beatles
    • Chirshil is #Churchill
    • Bjrin Adass — #BrianAdliss ? Why is he the Singing God?
    • Jeajee Blad — #JGBallard
    • Jh'Im Slas — Jim ??
    • Aral Vilsn — #HaroldWilson

    Wilson is father of Squeeze(?) and Balance of Credit. I need to look up the specific events of c.1968 to see what he's referring to.

  2. Triple threat match for the Elric ruleset belt. Free League announces Legends of Stormbringer for 2027, Dragonbane-powered, six days after Goodman Games DCC and 5e Elric licence. Just like US foreign policy, 5e isn't necessarily needed but gets everywhere.

  3. Free League Publishing has just announced "Legends of Stormbringer," a new tabletop RPG featuring the albino anti-hero, Elric of Melniboné, which will use the Dragonbane rules. ttrpgfans.com/legends-of-storm #freeleaguepublishing #Elric #michaelmoorcock #ttrpg #tabletoprpg #dragonbane #stormbringer

  4. Goodman Games has picked up the Elric! licence, announced at Dungeon Con. Covering the first six novels, Moorcock's doomed albino joins Lankhmar and Dying Earth in their Appendix N stable. Time to dig out your #Hawkwind vinyl and light something fragrant.

  5. Eternal Champion-Cluster von #MichaelMoorcock steht jetzt in oberster Reihe neben Kriminalgeschichte des Christentums von #KarlHeinzDeschner und bisher kam es noch nicht zu unharmonischen Entladungen arkaner Energien.

    Passt.

  6. New #review today: "British science fiction / fantasy author #MichaelMoorcock had a close musical partnership with #Hawkwind in the 70s and 80s. Moorcock contributed his work to Hawkwind’s Warrior on the Edge of Time and Space Ritual Tour. In 1975, Moorcock and the Deep Fix recorded The New World’s Fair, a surreal psychedelic ride through decaying fairgrounds, fading utopias, and electric guitars tuned to chaos." #ExposeOnline #PsychedelicRock #SpaceRock #ProgressiveRock expose.org/index.php/articles/

    Connie WILLIS, All Clear.

    Quatrième et dernier volet de la tétralogie de Connie Willis sur les voyages dans le temps. Nos historiens-voyageurs sont toujours coincés sous les bombes durant le Blitz londonien... Ça tire un petit peu en longueur mais le suspense arrive à se maintenir.

  9. > The guide to the publishing history of Elric included in the latest
    > of these attempts, a series of omnibi published by Saga Press that
    > includes “Von Bek,” reads like a work of fiction by Borges.

  10. Dieses Lesezeichen bevorzuge ich übrigens bei der Moorcock-Lektüre, weil dieser Anarchist und Arbeiterschichtssprössling ständig so fasziniert von Adelsgedöns und Großbürgertum ist, der Lauser! Der Düsenlarry! 😠

  11. Schon cool, wie antikolonial #MichaelMoorcock seine "schnellen Fantasyromane" (Ch. Platt) Anfang der 1970er-Jahre angelegt hat:

    "[E]ine Macht ohne Moral - eine Kraft ohne Gerechtigkeit; das waren die Barone von Granbretanien, die das Banner ihres Reichskönigs Huon durch Europa trugen und diesen Kontinent an sich rissen, es weiterschleppten, nach Westen und Osten, zu anderen Kontinenten, die sich für sich beanspruchten."

    (Rächer des Dunklen Imperiums, 1973/dt. 1978, Vorwort Seite 8)

  12. The ancient symbol of Chaos is not represented in Unicode and that makes me mad.

    Yes, for the symbol of Law We have ↑, but there is no symbol in which eight arrows all point from a common origin, each at one of the cardinal or intercardinal compass directions.

    The best we have is ☸ but it's not made of arrows, is too circley, and is already taken by some stupid supposedly """ancient""" religion.

    BAH/Humbug!

  13. I’m rereading Michael Moorcock’s 1969 SF novel The Black Corridor for the first time since some point in my teens in the 1980s. Had forgotten what an absolute kick in the head it is— in places so uncomfortably prescient about societal collapse.
