What I expected from ED was the same genre-transcending brillance of SR. SR
isn't fantasy anymore than it's cyberpunk. One of the elements couldn't exist
without the other and keep SR enjoyable. The problem with ED is they took
the straight fantasy route and didn't bring anything new to the same old same
old themes of eon-old fantasy RPGs.
