Crimson Skies is the arial combat game -- web site at www.crimsonskies.com,
and it looks -very- good from the blurb on the page and from what I heard
about it 2nd hand from GenCon.

Well, I was running one of the actual Shadowrun games at GenCon this year, so
we were only a table away from the Crimson Skies game. The attention that was
payed it, and the interest with which it was played intrigued me as well. I
never got to take the time to demo it myself, after all, business is business.
However the people that played it all seemed quite interested in the game and
no one walked away dissappointed from it. I would suggest anyone that wants
to try it, to do so. As for Earthdawn, alas 'tis sad but true. As Loki said,
it was all a matter of time. When friends and I first started it through the
four part pamphlets that FASA sent out, there were comments that it was doomed
from the start, but the game was better than I expected. (( Better than AD&D
in my opinion too, but that is neither here nor there.)) Earthdawn's drop has
nothing to do with SRTCG though, so the fact that it finally fell is nothing
to worry about comrades.
