The dead-tree version is scheduled to be released this month but Red Brick has put out the PDF versions of their new Earthdawn setting piece, Cathay - The Five Kingdoms. Am I correct in assuming this is ED's answer to Kara-Tur or Rokugan? Does anyone have initial thoughts?

Contents, Prologue, Introduction and Races of Cathay

In short: it rocks!

Hope I'm not hijacking your thread - but do ya'll know if there is a "dumpshock" for earthdawn that has some good PbP games on it? I'm getting my SR fix here, but cant' seem to find anything for ED

Have you tried earthdawn.com?

yeah, thanks for pointing that out. It looked promising, until I saw the play-by-post forum had the most recent post in 2009

wait wait, there was a post that was on Dec 2010, pointing to another forum - looks good - thanks!
