Okay, so there may not be too many spoilers, even so...
<<Has FASA released anything or plan to release anything concerning the
ties of Earthdawn to Shadowruns past?>>
Doubtful. They have yet to release any official "here-it-is" stuff on the
ED-SR links, however, various crossovers exist (like Bottled Demon).
<<Our gaming group has come to the conclusion that ED is the 3rd age
whilr SR is the 6th age. It should follow as
1st: Creation of magic and all else
2nd: the age of Dragons,
3rd: the therans &
the first scourge>>
Now, I'm not an ED person, but I thought that was part of the 4th world
(Earthdawn)?
<<4th: The world of Earthdawn
5th: Our world: Midevil to Present day
6th: Shadowrun
Each world was classed by the rise and fall of magic,>>
Actually, each world was determined by the point at which the mana curve
reached a certain limit on the slope. As X approaches, lets say 10 for
the sake of discussion, either mana rises or falls, depending on what X
equals. When X reaches 10, a new world begins. The odd-numbered worlds
are generally those w/o magic, the even-numbered are those with it (so
far as we know).
<<most likly there were many Scourges, Which in the modulr Harliquenns
Back He hints at the coming evil and there are Shadows (a lesser horror
that appears before the big horrors appear) in the module.>>
Thought so. That's called a spoiler, Archie. Lots of people don't like
'em 'cause they tend to spoil (hence the name) possible surprise at later
points in the adventure. I intend to later run this adventure for my
players (one of whom is on the list), I don't need any help giving any of
it away (luckily, ignorance shields me, as I haven't yet bought HB). In
any case, big stuff like that needs to have some spoiler space, or else
you're gonna get flamed. Just a warning.
<<Its enough to raise quite a few questions:
!) is SR magic a limited form of adept magic or is a new form
alltogether,
maybe Psionics?>>
Again, I'm not an ED person, but I've heard it referred to as "raw"
magic.
<<2) is BigD also the famed ED dragon?>>
You mean Mountainshadow/Dark Tooth? So far as we know, yes. Well, he used
to be.
<<3) just how old is Erhan the Scribe,>>
Not as old as Harlequinn's socks:) Actually, Wordsmyth, Laughing Man, and
most of the other 4th worlder elves are approximately 7000 years old by
the time SR rolls around.
<<4) just when will all the elves in Tir start having thorns pop out of
thier
skin ( didn't one of the SR books have illistration of a blood elf?)>>
When the mana gets high enough (which is to say, we don't have a clue,
but sometime).
<<5) when will Tir turn into a jungle full of wood spirts ( or has it
allready
and we just don't know.) ?>>
<shrug>
Who knows if it ever will?
