Earthdawn: The Age of Legend is a fantasy roleplaying game set in a world of high adventure, high magic, and terrible danger. Featuring all-new story-oriented rules, the game is easy to learn and handle, ideal for one-shots, convention games, and introductory games—even for kids! Designed with the rich setting material published for Earthdawn in mind, Earthdawn: The Age of Legend can be used with any existing collection of Earthdawn books (no matter which edition), or as a starting point to dive into the Earthdawn universe.
This book provides an alternative rules system for the Earthdawn setting that takes a much more narrative approach to it than the classic step system. Some elements remind me a bit of Fate, and I am eager to try this out. Finally, this amazing setting is complemented with a modern, narrative system.
