Re: Earthdawn: Fourth Edition coming in 2014
We played through all editons keeping mostly the same characters and players involved since 1995. There have been other groups and other players most of whom still like to play the game and would surely come back if I started a new group using 4th.

Re: How many rounds is your average combat?
In most games I ever ran or played in combat would last for 3-6 rounds if it was a mook-fight and between 10 and 15 rounds when the big baddy and his goons showed up.

It makes it easier to resist knockdown, and makes the math a trifle easier as well. Dropping the modif...

Re: Seeking some feedback on a possible ED4 change
[quote="Slimcreeper"]In my (comparatively limited) experience, the length of combats is not a problem because of damage-to-health ratio, but because there are a lot of rolls to make: initiative, multiple attacks, damage, defensive abilities, etc. Someone mentioned Knockdown tests - a perfe...
