Earthdawn Social Media
Posted: Sat Jun 10, 2017 7:02 pm
Our beloved game is finding its way out into the social media sphere, and I love it. This thread will serve as an update list and "Water cooler" talk about all the various Earthdawn podcasts, blogs, etc. I think there were another few threads out there, but let's collect them into one topic. 
Most recently, Mataxes was on Twitch.TV alongside long-time Earthdawn GM JackLifear:
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/150754784
The feed actually starts at about 25:00. They just started, @ 32:00, talking about how Mataxes' first Earthdawn experience was the novel "The Longing Ring". I think that was my second (a friend who had GM'd a session threw the book at me
). I have just gone back and purchased The Longing Ring from the webstore (http://fasagames.com/catalog/index.php? ... th=1_89_90), and am re-reading it. I actually have a physical copy of the 2nd, Mother Speaks, on my shelf but haven't read it in forever. I forgot how good this book was! Author Christopher Kubasik has a current RPG focused blog over here: https://talestoastound.wordpress.com/
The other two podcasts that I am following are Live From Barsaive, from Lava Monkey Games: https://lavamonkeygames.com/livefrombarsaive/
And Legends of Earthdawn: http://legendsofearthdawn.com
Both have a few episodes out so far and each podcast has a different take on it - with the Legends "pre-casts" focusing on an overview of the rules first, then setting, to give the audience context for the later "actual play" episodes (new one out today!). Live from Barsaive is not an actual-play cast, but a great show going more in depth into the setting and the hosts background with the game. They have been going on a "tour of Barsaive" and then recently have a few episodes going over rules and game concepts.
I will try to keep this thread up to date with new things that I run across. Feel free to do the same.
