Get the Sanctum Secorum #04 Companion on DrivethruRPG
The haunted, treacherous and doomed albino sorcerer-prince is one of the great creations of modern fantasy. An introspective weakling in thrall to his soul-eating sword, Stormbringer, he is yet a hero whose bloody adventures and wanderings lead inexorably to his decisive intervention in the war between the forces of Law and Chaos.
A fantasy classic, Elric of Melniboné is an exceptional fantasy icon of violence, power, politics and war and his tales make up a fantasy masterpiece.
Welcome to the Sanctum Secorum podcast. In this episode, we examine the first book in a series that is regarded as one of the most influential sword-and-sorcery resources among Appendix N. Many thanks to Kevin Searle for the suggestion!
In addition, we have bonus content to bring to your game: patrons, classes, and so much more…after the jump.

Hey there and thanks for the podcast.
I just wanted to point out, that issue #4 ist missing in the “Dark Acquisitions” section.
Thanks for the catch, we’ve brought the page up to date.
Excellent podcast and companion pdf!
Module list is much appreciated, hope it can be updated as more come out as I have been toying with the idea of restarting a Stormbringer RPG game using converted DCC RPG modules set in the Young Kingdoms. They are reminiscent of the hardcore, metal, blood and thunder scenarios found in Stormbringer( 1-3rd editions).
(Intrigue at the Courts of Chaos is in the podcast but not the list!)
Much obliged. The Elric episode was great fun to tackle. I agree that DCC modules could easily fit in with the young kingdoms, or Stormbringer into a corner of the DCC universe. Keep us posted, we’d love to hear more about it!
I’m going to post this on the DCC forum but I thought I’d let you know that RPGNow has a ton of stuff marked down (early Black Friday sale I think)
All of the listed modules* PLUS these modules descriptions that seem to be Moorcockian #78 Fates Fell Hand, #80 Intrigue at the Courts of Chaos, and #67 Sailors on the Starless Sea can be had for $43.81.
10 modules is a hella lot gaming goodness for that price so that’s a no brainer, done deal .
(“Carnival of the Damned” is not out yet and Curse of the Kingspire is Master Dungeons M2 version)
