On the left you see one of the 101 gallery pictures of TheDreadPolack. In my opinion he made the so far best Earthdawn miniatures gallery with full coloration figures. He uploaded his work at Photobucket and was willing to make a short interview with Sethariel, who discovered his gallery and made the interview. Sethariel additionally uploaded a youtube video slideshow, showing the best miniatures of the gallery, which you also find at his page. I can only recommend to dig through Sethariels page to discover more about his Earthdawn Art articles.

Here’s a short excerpt of the interview:

Let's talk about the gallery. There are 101 pictures of 35 different Earthdawn miniatures there. Is this all of your Earthdawn miniatures collection, or you have plenty of more? In your closet for instance…

By my research, Heartbreaker made 53 Earthdawn miniatures, of which I own 50. The painted ones are on a shelf, the rest are in a shoe box, as a matter of fact :)

I am still missing „0302  Windlings (3)", „0333  Mounted Dwarf Calvaryman", and „0334  Troll Illusionist". I made it a mission to find them all and paint them. I plan to finish this mission, but the last 3 have been pretty hard to find, and I haven't looked recently.

When I am done with my current painting project (soon), I will finish painting my Earthdawn miniatures. I am a lot faster than I used to be, so I don't expect this to take too long.

How and when did you acquire your Earthdawn miniatures? Was it expensive?

I bought my first few miniatures at a game store back in the days before the internet :) Since then, I have gotten the rest online. Various game stores and eBay have been useful. They haven't been very expensive, but I have a few duplicates since I've had to buy them in lots a few times.

Inkwell Idea’s made a selection chart with over 90 RPG systems/games that guides you to your favorite RPG. The first versions of the selection chart didn’t include Earthdawn, but the chart has been updated over the last weeks and now as I report about it, Earthdawn is included. Have a look at the RPG selection chart of Inkwell Idea’s.

There are various character editors for Windows out there. But the growing company that bit the apple has spread its disease known as Mac OS, or something like that, more and more into our world. On this OS most character generators won’t work. Ok, ok, ok no more Apple bashing here, please. So for all those who want to create and edit Earthdawn characters on a MAC can now use the Earthdawn Character Editor 0.1 Alpha (you know what Alpha may cause). The small program was written by Holger von Rhein aka lortas. It is an early Alpha version and was published yesterday, it’s java-based and written for Earthdawn Third Edition.

For a detailed description and some screenshots head over to Softpedia, where you can also download the latest version of the program. Unfortunately for you, I am not an Apple fanboy and so I can’t provide any further information on the usability nor the detailed functions of this program. I would appreciate comments on that topic.

Lately Drucifer opened up the Tableau Infractus Archive with the intention to prevent Earthdawn content from disappearing from the net. The first release was the Earthdawn Legends book. The newest release is the Chronicles of Barsaive PDF (Mirror). The original comes from David Schibeci (Wanderer’s Rest) and with the re-release of Dru, the book has now a new design.

So what are the Chronicles of Barsaive about?

The Chronicles of Barsaive is a series of stand alone adventures. Each adventure details a race or region. When the adventures are interlinked they form an exploration of Barsaive. Each adventure is intended for three to six characters of first to third circle.

The adventures were written for the 1st Earthdawn edition, so NPCs have 1st edition stats.
