[QUOTE="DayTripper, post: 4956670, member: 23440"] You might be interested to know that Redbrick are (slowly) working on a 4e version of the Earthdawn rules, called Age of Legend. I played ED in the 90s and I have to say fluff & flavour wise its (still) one of the best fantasy RPGs I've come across. Crunch-wise, the system is good in parts but tends to break down at the fringes, particularly if you've players too used to optimisation from playing too much D&D... If you do play ED, you might notice an number of similarities from FASA's original game that also emerged in D&D v3.5 & 4e. In fact, you might say the talent powers employed by ED characters are very, very similar in concept to the powers now currently used by 4e characters. Then there are the weapons of legend, group items etc, etc. All this 4e homage to ED should make it very easy to use the current ED fluff for the basis of a 4e game. [/QUOTE]
