Is the second edition manual worth purchasing or is it just the same as
the first edition with a new name? I havent played Shadowrun for a
while and I have the first edition manuals. Also are there any new
accessories or modules that I should be sure to get? One more, how is
Earthdawn? I play AD&D and am curious if anyone has played both
Earthdawn and AD&D and could compare the two?

Yes. It goes a lot faster for one thing. Secondly, it has a lot of the kinks
worked out in magic and combat. Its not that hard to change over - all the
stats are the same - its just the mechanics that became better.

Accesories - Hmmm Fields of Fire, Lone Star and Denver would be good of the
total 2nd ed stuff. You will probably also want the Grimore II - revise for
2md edition - it has a changes that you will need and is the only 1st ed book
they reprinted.
