| What is Earthdawn? | |
| Earthdawn is a roleplaying game of high fantasy set in the land of Barsaive, a land that has now grown to encompass an entire world. Originally published by FASA Corporation, it was discontinued in favor of other game lines, however this RPG still has a popular following, as can be attested by both continued Internet support and regular activity on the Earthdawn Mailing Lists (see the FAQ below). Living Room Games has produced a Second Edition of the main rulebook and companion volumes, plus several supplements. And James Flowers' own James Flowers has co-founded RedBrick Limited, licensing Earthdawn from FASA Corporation and pursuing development of products based on the original First (FASA) Edition content. You can find out more about Earthdawn Classic here. From the Author NOTE: The Library of Throal and the Cyclopedia of Barsaive are public projects for housing Earthdawn-related contributions from Earthdawn supporters. Please consider us if you need to find a home for your writing or adventures, and do have a look at what other people have contributed for examples of style. For information on the Earthdawn Mailing Lists, please check out the FAQ in the Administration section below. You can send your feedback to us via email at this address: earthdawn@jflowers.spam_me_not.org (please remove the obvious "spam block content" from the email address before sending).
