[QUOTE="Abstruse, post: 6161076, member: 6669048"] Honestly? There's nothing for you in EARTHDAWN if you're focused on SR5 plots. None of them are going to involve anything from EARTHDAWN except for crossover characters that are core to the worlds. If you want to dig into old 2050s stuff or draw off those plots, you'd be best served by just going for an EARTHDAWN wiki or if you can find Ancient History's original website where he talks about all the connections (I believe it's down, but you can find it using archive.org). The only sourcebook I completely and wholeheartedly recommend is called THE BOOK OF DRAGONS, which talks about the different dragons in Earthdawn and almost all of them survived to the Sixth World. [URL="http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/78041/The-Book-of-Dragons?affiliate_id=36142"]You can get it from Drive Thru.[/URL] There's a couple of others you might want to check out, but that's the only one that has a lot of information directly related to SHADOWRUN and especially SR5. And any of the really good information, you can pretty much get from summaries (those mostly involve the various immortal elves who used to run Tir Tairngire and still run Tir nA nOg). I never really played EARTHDAWN, so I can't recommend many other books as I've only ever skimmed through ones my friends got years ago. It's a great campaign world, though, so if you want to run a game in it, that's a completely different story. There's a lot of really awesome books for the system over the years.
