I don't think we have any dedicated gaming stores here in Omaha. They are mostly hybrid stores. There is a store that is very gaming centric in Bellevue (South of Omaha) that has a butt-load of board games, Warhammer, CCGs, and lots of space for gaming. Most stores however are D&D glutted. And ...

For my idea that would be easy. Give everybody a single Background Skill that basically defines what they do. Perhaps that teenager over there sitting along the side of the main street has a skill called Street Urchin +2. Maybe that guy running his market stall has Simple Entrepreneur +1. If combat ...

I also like the way Knockdown Tests are done. It does take a tiny bit of math, but it makes sense. I wouldn't change this either. Same here. The biggest issue I've had with players new to Earthdawn(usually coming from D&D) is initiative rolling every round. What are the Talents in the game that...

This thread has been on my mind for the last few days, but I've been very busy at work. I'll try to get my thoughts down tonight when I get home. :) Edit: @ Darth Quiris: I think you may still be confused about how ED3 (and previous) handles checking the Success Level (a lookup on a chart that has ...

The Raises system of L5r is a more elegant and easier system with more tactical combat possibilities than the current system used in Earthdawn plus is way more easy for players than systems like those in Dragon Age but right now it would take more time to rework into the system and I am pretty sure ...

A moment while I grab the bucket of cold water... Earthdawn will never be on the same level as Pathfinder in terms of popularity and anyone that thinks it will is either delusional or ignorant of the realities of the rpg industry right now. For all the venom that 4th edition D&D draws on variou...

Take 13th Age... if Earthdawn incorporated 13th Age's Background Skills rules instead of having a grand list of available Skills than this would free up a ton of page space in the book AND give players a in game resource that truly speaks to the player's character in a personal way... Could you ela...

There is one rules gap in the Earthdawn game system that could have used an upgrade... or a full addition too... and this is an idea taken straight out of the Indie games of the past few years and that's have a system in place for the more Social aspects of game play. Take 13th Age... if Earthdawn i...

Since it has come up a couple of times, what do people think about reducing the Knockdown difficulty? Specifically dropping the +3 modifier that has existed in every edition of the rules thus far? It makes it easier to resist knockdown, and makes the math a trifle easier as well. Yes, drop the modi...
