The Scourge and the Horrors were the only original things I found in ED, and
those were tied to SR. All of the independant ED threads read like AD&D.
Magicians are common in fantasy RPGs, Therans are your typical oppressive
ruling state, and dragons have been around for eternity. You come to ED from
SR expecting a dangerous and dark past of great magic, and end up in a mock
AD&D game. Or worse, the Windlings appear and suddenly you're in Willow.
