The great polish blogger Kosmit, some of you might know him from the Earthdawn forum, created some Earthdawn status cards which caught my attention. So after contacting Kosmit I am allowed to provide his english Earthdawn status cards over here on the Earthdawn blog.

• 3rd edition Earthdawn status card (pdf) mirror

There is also a polish version of the status cards available which you can download over here.

Beside to the Earthdawn status cards Kosmit offers also an interesting statistic document on his page.

Preparing a game session is a difficult task. I've prepared something to ease up preparing game stats for NPCs and monsters. You will find English version on second tab in excel sheet.

“Orcs aren’t known for their great cuisine”

The following gallery shows food- and trail-rations of various RPG characters and races that were used during RPG sessions of wats6831. I absolutely love the detailed composition of the food to represent the preferations of various roleplaying races. Especially the Drow and the Lizardfolk rations are absolutely great:

The German Earthdawn publisher Ulisses-Spiele mentioned in a news article on march that they put the english Earthdawn Promo flyers online that were released in 1993 when Earthdawn was first published.

Those three flyers were published by FASA in 1993 to promote the start of the new Earthdawn game line. They contain information about the setting, intro rules and the adventure Kaer Tardim.

You can download the three flyers over here.

As I was searching the net for recent Earthdawn news I stumbled up a lot of Earthdawn artwork galleries that I want to share with you:

Earthdawn gallery  @ Earthdawn.hu Sade

This is the site of Sade from hungary. The huge collection of Earthdawn artwork contains illustrations from present and former Earthdawn artists like Laubenstein, Janet Aulisio, Kent Burles or Kathy Schad. Beside the collection of artist illustrations you can find a category about maps from all over Barsaive.

An Earthdawn gallery about the japanese Earthdawn edition can be found at the french Earthdawn page FondationDraco.fr

The Fondationdraco.fr provides a huge collection of the japanese Earthdawn artwork that is quite different from every other artwork you could find out there:

With the new Earthdawn 4th edition came a lot of new artwork into several books. This artwork was done by new artists that, I think, need to be mentioned too:

The Lost Treasures of the Codex Vol. II

Yes I am still here blogging about Earthdawn!!

Some time ago the first part of the series “The Lost Treasures of the Codex” was released concerning a place called ‘The Spire of Thaumaturgy’. There you’ll also find an explanation what the ‘Lost Treasures of the Codex’-Series is about. Please keep in mind that the series is based on Earthdawn 3rd Edition rules! And again: you'll find a PDF-file at the bottom of the article.

Well then, the second part of the series presents you a magical item called ‘Sirrien’s Bow of Precision’. The item description comes from Joeri Winkeler and the color images were kindly created and provided by Johannes Bech.

Sirrien's Bow of Precision

Maximum Threads: 2

Spell Defence: 14

Item description

Made primarily out of the same three wood combinations normal Elven Warbows are made from, the pieces of wood themselves create the symbols for True Air and True Fire in Sperethiel. Also in Sperethiel are the runes for Sirrien’s and Sarlindel’s names, inlaid with turquoise near the top.
