About Earthdawn Horrors in Shadowrun...

Our group has had a bit of fun speculation about this, but we've basically
come to the conclusion that it's going to be a while -- a long long while
before Horrors, real horrors, not piddly stuff like invae and wraiths, show
up. There just isn't enough mana around to let them start crawling in yet,
and it's going to take a while for such mana to accumulate. Looking at how
mana-rich earthdawn is, with all the talents, blood magic, passions, etc, the
world of shadowrun just doesn't compare yet. Granted, there's folx in the
shadowrun universe that have an inkling of what's coming, but if they know
that much they probably know they've got awhile to prepare for it, and that
shutting themselves off now is probably not a good idea...yet. There's still
so much to be done in preparation. So i don't buy the idea that Tibet closed
itself off in kaers already, altho i can see themselves becoming seclusive
and getting ready...

What do others think? How long before the next Scourge? Harlequin doesn't
seem to be too worried about it, yet...
