I have not played Earthdawn for years (not since it was first published), but I have good memories of the game. Has anyone played the current edition? With the anniversary this year for Shadowrun, it seems to me like a good time for some crossover story ideas between games.
Both Companies (Living Room Games & Red Brick) have putout some great products.
Red Brick has taken over 1st edition. They are going strong.
Living Room Games got the license to do second edition, and while it really was more of a revised edition, they really did clean up the system well, but there has been no movement in publishing or announcements in about 3 years after about 6 or so books published.
Unless Catalyst and Red Brick work together -- an official crossover won't happen. They are separate properties now who are licensed by 2 different companies.
Sort of like the haggling over making of the Aliens vs. Predator movies, and the 10 years that people tried to make the Freddy vs. Jason. vs. Michael Myers -- no one could ever agree on it.
The same happened for the Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash -- but the writer decided to put it out in comic form, and has said that basically the comic series (6 issues) was the script which never got made.
But back to the original question -- yes the newer edition (Red Brick) is very good.
