Retro RPG: Earthdawn
Earthdawn is a fantasy role-playing game, originally produced by FASA in 1993.
Like many role-playing games from the nineties, Earthdawn focuses much of its detail on its setting, a province called Barsaive.
In Barsaive, magic, like many things in nature, goes through cycles. As the magic level rises, it allows alien creatures called Horrors to cross from their distant, otherworldly dimension into our own. The Horrors come in an almost infinite varietyĆ¢ā‚¬ā€¯from simple eating machines that devour all they encounter, to incredibly intelligent and cunning foes that feed off the negative emotions they inspire in their prey.
