What I meant was, it's not a game that relies on multiple party roles - you can heal yourself, and you don't need a thief or a fighter or anything. And I've always played the game with smaller groups, because it seems to run better that way. FASA always presents their games as smaller-group affairs, and Earthdawn, in my experience, is better as a small group game.

Maybe. My Earthdawn group currently only has two players, but they're accompanied by a GM character and all of them have dabbled into a second profession.

It works well for us because we mostly concentrate on the roleplaying/storytelling aspects and as such it's a welcome break from our combat-intensive, large D&D group.
