I got email from Stiggybaby.com this morning telling me that SoE was out... and also two other products, one of which was:
LRG206 Earthdawn - The Book Of Dragons (Revised And Expanded)
Anyone know what this is? Is it the content of the Dragons PDF, revised and expanded? Something else entirely? The Dragon fanboy in me wants to get it even though I don't run ED.

Should be the version updated to ED2.0 and it might have the images missing in the pdf...

Ah, Dragons has finally been revised andf released by Living Room Games has it? About time.
FYI Dragons was originally intended as FASA's final Earthdawn sourcebook. Unfortunately they went under before printing off any copies and thus stuck up the text as a download via their website. Wehn Living Room Games picked up the license to do Earthdawn 2nd ED they stuck up a teaser on their website indicating they would get around to actually printing off the sourcebook. No doubt they have revised parts of it to fit with their metaplot threads. Check out www.lrgames.com for further details.
Noe, 'scuse me while I nip off to see if I can get my hooves on one.

Not correct; Earthdawn was shelved a few years before FASA closed doors, and what was finished of Dragons was put on their website when the game's demise was announced.

I got my copy of Dragons, Revised this afternoon.
Most of the material is the same as the Dragons PDF, plus additional art.
[ Spoiler ]
We've talked about the damn art. It's better. But they keep using black/grey illustrations that look like they were being done in pencil, and just look like shit in an RPG book.
They added a section on Dvilgaynon; and amended the sections(s) on Vestrivan and Vasdenjas (on account of them being dead and MIA, respectively). The stats received a small update to 2nd Edition rules.
Most favorable for Shadowrun/Earthdawn crossover types is a short brace of adventures, in the old Event-style favored by FASA for a while.
[ Spoiler ]
Including one where Far Scholar reclaims a certain statue of green stone and four bronze copper coins with square holes in them...

I thought Vasdenjas was dead from protecting the Earthdawn, wasn't he?

Aye, he died defending it. I flubbed and mixed it up, Vestrivan is MIA, VAsdenjas is kaput.

Vestrivan went MIA in a Horror Cloud or something like that, didn't he? (btw, what's that?)
Ancient History

Aye. A Horror Storm is...sorta hard to explain. First, picture a floating tower manned by intelligent undead. Then surround it by a perpetual storm. Now fuse the floating tower with a powerful Horror. That approaches a /small/ Horror Storm. The one Vestrivan flew into was much larger, much more potent, and much weirder.

So Jupiter has a Horror Cloud?

Only if there's a kila at the middle of the Big Red Spot and it's out to get us.

That would so rock.
