Earthdawn Player's Compendium
Before science¸ before history¸ an era of magic existed in our world's dim past. Magic flowed freely¸ touching every aspect of the lives of men and women of the Name-giver races. It was an age of heroes¸ an age of fantastical deeds and mythical stories. It was the Age of Legend. In August 2005¸ Earthdawn is back with a new edition. For the first time since its initial release in 1993¸ this highly acclaimed fantasy roleplaying game is available in an all-encompassing format -- two comprehensive books containing everything required for years of play. The first of these two books is the Earthdawn Player's Compendium¸ featuring: * Revised and streamlined game mechanics * Exhaustive information on the fifteen core Disciplines * Over 180 Talents¸ 90 Talent Knacks¸ and more than 450 Spells * Updated setting and history overviews¸ covering the province of Barsaive on the brink of war * Combines updated content from over six previously-published supplements into one volume¸ along with new and optional rules. This rulebook contains all the information players need to create and play characters for ongoing adventures set in the popular Earthdawn universe.
