Just a quick info about the Creatures Challenge Circle Table made by Razan. It provides an overview about the creatures that should challenge the players in specific circles.

Have a look:

The document was first published on the FASA Earthdawn forum.

Dimension of roleplaying TV steht wie immer parat, wenn die deutschen 'Großconventions', RPC oder eben die Spiel in Essen stattfinden, um uns mit Earthdawn news zu versorgen. Diesmal geht es um das kommende deutsche Spielleiter Handbuch, in knapp einer Minute ist alles aktuelle gesagt. Naja fast. Ein in geplantes VÖ-Datum ist aus Scorpios Mund zu hören:

At first I have to point out that the inspiration for this article came from Elidis and Morgan Weeks. Morgan Weeks is writing a series on his blog Panda Gaming grove called 'Anatomy of a Discipline' wherein he introduces and explains various disciplines of Earthdawn.

The series led Elidis to the idea to create an overview for all officially existing Disciplines of Earthdawn.

Well the idea was now realized in the following table which lists all Earthdawn disciplines sorted by edition. It includes 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th Edition disciplines, Cathay and other official sources where Earthdawn disciplines were introduced at. And yep Questors are considered in the list as well!

The table also shows if the discipline already is or will officially be converted to ED4.

The list doesn't claim to be complete! So I would be happy about any comment or suggestions about errors or missing Earthdawn disciplines.

I want to point out again that all Kudos go to Elidis who gathered all the info and made up the list.

The German Earthdawn publisher Ulisses Spiele posted a preview of the soon-to-come Barsaive map at their Facebook page. The 70x100 cm map will be available at the SPIEL2015. For all the German fans that don't visit the SPIEL in Essen will later have the opportunity to buy it via the Ulisses store.

In a recent post at the FASA Earthdawn forum were initially the detailed stats of a Bone Spirit requested. As the discussion went on, Mataxes was so kind to released a part of the Spirits chapter from the not yet released Earthdawn 4th edition Game Master Guide.

"The linked PDF has the information necessary to create bone spirits, taken from the spirits chapter of the ED4 GM Guide."

The 5 page PDF file provides strength stats for Ally Spirits as well as descriptions of Spirit powers.

The provided statistics are guidelines and serve to form a general baseline for spirits of that type. Since each spirit is a unique entity, the gamemaster should feel free to modify these values to suit the needs of his game. The powers listed for a spirit are only the most common examples.

Nachdem der englischsprachige Auszug aus dem Game Masters Guide im FASA Earthdawn forum veröffentlicht wurde, kommt Ulisses mit dem deutschen Gegenstück daher und beschert damit der deutschen Community Informationen zu Geistern und ihren Kräften. Als Beispiel sind ausserdem die Statistiken für einen Knochengeist als Verbündeten enthalten.

Die angegebenen Spielwerte sind Richtlinien und dienen als allgemeine Grundlage für Geister der jeweiligen Art. Da aber jeder Geist ein einzigartiges Wesen ist, kann der Spielleiter diese Werte gerne so modifizieren, wie es zu seinem Spiel passt. Die für einen Geist angegebenen Kräfte sind nur die am häufigsten vorkommenden Beispiele.
