An interview with Jason Durall – Stormbringer and Moorcockian stalwart. Jason has a long history with Chaosium and the Stormbringer line, in a story that has as many ‘misses’ as hits. A (long) while back, Stormbringer! took the time to have a chat with Jason and discuss what could have been.

An interview with Lawrence Whitaker ~ Line Developer of Mongoose Publishing’s Eternal Champion line and full time author. With a long and proud history writing for Chaosium and now Mongoose, Lawrence (Loz to his friends) talks to Stormbringer! about the past, present and future of the property!
Update 2017 – Just so you know, Loz and his writing partner from their Mongoose Publishing days, Pete Nash, are now the principals behind The Design Mechanism, a roleplaying company dedicated to great gaming. Go check them out!
One of the few authors to work on both Chaosium’s Stormbringer, as well as contributing to the later Elric of Melnibone series.
Charles not only wrote the two Young Kingdoms’ monographs Gods of Law in the Young Kingdoms and Chaos Cults of the Young Kingdoms (both of which we proudly have reproduced on this site), but also Mongoose Publishing’s Bright Shadows setting book (which explores the far reaching influence of the Melnibonéan people and their rulers).
Few authors or line developers have done as much to define an future of a roleplaying game as Richard Watts. With the late Lynn Willis as a steadying hand, Richard re-imagined the Stormbringer ruleset into ELRIC!, the edition we all love today. While he was never able to complete his journey, even today his influence on the game and setting continues.
Note, this interview was originally prepared for an Eternal Champion fanzine that was never published, and is presented here in full.
