Talk to some of the Fasa folks at a con, and they tend to be a bit more
open about it. One of their main people (no names) admitted it outright a
few years ago when I cornered him after an Earthdawn game. In addition, the
author of one of the SR novels (Worlds Without End, maybe?) mentions a
couple of Earthdawn "prequels" she has in the works.

Nobody ever seems to want to turn this logic around. What if the "aliens"
are nothing but manifestations of supernatural forces?
