Earthdawn

Earthdawn is a role-playing game of “hopeful, post-apocalyptic fantasy” where you play one of these heroes, fighting to rebuild the wounded world and protect those in it. As you search the land for lost treasures and forgotten cities, you will use magic to drive back the Horrors that remain, and stand against those seeking to dominate and enslave the peoples of the world. The gamemaster spins a tale. Earthdawn is a system with over twenty years of history. Originally developed and released by FASA in the 1990s, it set the standard for games melding system and setting. It built a world where the clichés of fantasy gaming—classes, levels, dungeons, and more—are integrated and make sense. Now in its fourth edition, Earthdawn is back home with FASA. If you’re a new player, welcome! If you’re a returning fan, welcome back! The new edition is a great place to jump in, and while there have been some changes over the years, material from earlier editions is largely compatible with the new one. It is an age of magic, wonder, exploration, darkness, and hope. Time to forge your legend!
