My local group may be running Earthdawn soon, and my GM likes to look at the various media inspirations a lot of Role Playing games include within their books. What sort of Media Inspirations would you look at to get in the spirit of Earthdawn?
Re: Earthdawn Media Inspirations
If you want to run a campaign in a Kaer, City of Ember.
Re: Earthdawn Media Inspirations
That is a fascinating question, and I must think on it.

Re: Earthdawn Media Inspirations
As far as video games are concerned, Ultima Underworld (and its spiritual successor, Arx Fatalis) are great inspirations for life (and adventure!) in a kaer.
Lankhmar is obviously a good inspiration for Kratas.
I also imagine the Earthdawn world as similar to Conan or the Scorpion King -- basically "sword & sorcery" settings set in pseudo-Antiquity -- in terms of style and architecture and general visual atmosphere.

I usually lift combat imagery from Wuxia films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero (2002).

Fallout strangely enough.
I try to capture that feeling of newness and unexpected mystique that is always there whenever you leave a vault for the first time.
In FO you know you'll encounter an apocalyptic wasteland with familiar elements, but it's always different, presented in a new captivating way.
ED is the same; you know it's high fantasy but it's still largely unexplored, filled with wonder, horror and twisted plots

Hello,
As I posted on Twitter (where Josh posted this question), I think the Reavers from Firefly are a great depiction of extreme Horror Taint.
Take Care,

Re: Earthdawn Media Inspirations
Always nice to see you here Lou
The Mark of Sacrifice in Berserk is pretty much an Horror Mark.
And any Demon for that manga can be an inspiration for nightmare-inducing nasties.

Re: Earthdawn Media Inspirations
Lately, the 2014 version of Hercules (w/The Rock) has felt very Earthdawn to me........
