You following the Earthdawn 4th ed Kickstarter Pump? I had lots of fun playing 3rd ed and would play it again (the writeups you guys did were some of the best ever, "thousand-hex stare" ftw), but what I'd buy a new edition for is a way more streamlined ruleset and I'm not getting that vibe.
Plus I got kinda burned on the Earthdawn Savage Worlds conversion, that was the worst.
Also I swore off Kickstarters but let's stick to the relevant facts.
