Tl;dr: Kia ora all! I don’t often post much about my personal life, but as a parent of two neurodiverse teens, I reckoned that I’d post some of my experience in gaming here on our journey. My daughter was diagnosed with autism almost a year ago and my son is dyslexic/dysgraphia with ADHD like presentation. Both are incredibly bright and very different from each other (my son has lots of friends and is very bright and gregarious if also very lazy while my daughter is very retreating and shy but incredibly driven and motivated). They both love fantasy and fantasy literature, movies and gaming has been a way for us all to connect. Though often what works for one, doesn’t necessarily work for the other. This brings me to my point, I am working on trying to best accommodate the needs of my neurodiverse daughter and include her in an experience that she very much wants to participate in, but often feels frustrated and overwhelmed by. This is an introduction to our journey so far. ...
Thanks! You too.
ReplyDeleteI played both first and second edition of Stormbringer back in the day. I have seen more people say they preferred second over first, and I would have to agree, but the differences seemed minimal to me. In the end, I can highly recommend both. I would see which is the easiest and cheapest to obtain, and go from there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shane! Out of curiosity, any experience with any of the other source books? I'm eyeing Stormbringer 2nd edition and the Corum sourcebook.
ReplyDeleteI'm selling all my Stormbringer/Elric! stuff on ebay right now, it was everything I could get my hands on 10 years ago - see http://henchmanabuse.blogspot.com for the list & ebay link
ReplyDeletePat - but I want it now! Just kidding. I've put them on my watch list so I'm interested.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Stormbringer 1e back in the day. I recently bought some Elric! stuff and read through it, but never played. I believe Elric! has the most supplemental material available of the various editions, if that helps or matters.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bighara, actually it will help quite a bit I think. I'd like to delve into some of the rules and supplemental rules. Moorcock's work (and to be more precise) his use of sorcery and entreating with supernatural beings is something I'd like to capture the feel of and port to my campaign world.
