And explaining LOTS of things about the world. Don't forget that.
The future of Shadowrun is partially based on Earthdawn's past, and that's
why it matters.

Yes they have. The novels concerning them come out in a few months.

What's wrong with it? Once again, the point is that FASA is not
hurt. So it should be allowed.

It's encouraged by FASA, even.

> Leave Lightbearers alone. They belong in Earthdawn, not Shadowrun.

I'm not exactly just COPYING them. I'm taking some of the ideas
of them, and redefining them. In a very limited manner (total membership,
by the end: probably about ten.)

Barring change by Jason Carter, I am making an offical ruling with
regards to "alternative" plots on TK...

NO

Earthdawn may be what RN will become, but it don't happen over night, or
in 5 years, or in 10 years, or in a century.

Just leave it alone and play in the established RN story.
