[QUOTE="Wik, post: 5496104, member: 40177"] I agree that the 4e treatment is fine. But I'm gonna change the setting for my needs anyway. The problem is, the more I look at it, the more I realize 4e is just not for me. I've been running it for almost three years, and while there are parts I love, there are parts that I absolutely loathe... particularly the bit where a lot of power has been put on the player's side of the screen. I hate that, as selfish as it sounds (and not just as a GM). I do like the Earthdawn system and setting, and I've long considered running it. The only reason it's not one I've instantly grabbed is that I have two players who are really interested in using the SR/White Wolf rules to basically make a game from scratch - I'd have buy-in. That being said, Earthdawn adaptation could definitely work. It's a gritty system at times, but also one of action. If I can strip the system of some of the magic, pare down the disciplines a bit, it could be a very good match. Thanks guys for the feedback, and keep it coming! I'd love to know any pitfalls I might come across in adapting the setting. I know it's gonna be weird running 2e again, after around twelve years, if we do go that route! [/QUOTE]
