Want odds its that far in the future? Current betting is that there is
going to be a Harlequin adventure coming in soon which ties in with
Earthdawn. And from the pre-release information, well I think enough has
been said.

Yeah, Earthdawn is a fun world. It contains people battling to reclaim
their world from horrors instead of feathering their nests by killing
people.

Ah...I know that the adventure will deal with it.

Mostly, I'm saying 500 years because the players are going to succeed.

That's how it works with adventures.

(Uh, don't tell me. I'm already on the Earthdawn listserv, albeit
without actually having played it yet.)

Oh, and the players still go around and kill people...but it's only
the BAD people. Yeah. Sure. That was a Theran. I promise.
