At the moment it seems that the article focuses on 'old stuff' and the latest release from RedBrick is tacked on as an afterthought. I was thinking that rearranging the page and having the 'old stuff' - First and Second Editions - as subsections describing their respective histories might shift the
468:
The races in Earthdawn look just like their equivalents in Shadowrun, which was made by the same company. Both are set in a world where magic comes and goes in cycles, and as I recall there were some other hints that Earthdawn was either in the distant past or the far future of the Shadowrun
212:
Wouldn't mind adding that Earthdawn and Shadowrun take place in the same universe, on the same Earth, with a large amount of time between them. Also, there should be a note concerning the Elves of ED and the Elves of SR, with special notes for Harlequinn and Aina.
324:
I believe the article could expand more into the current installments (Living Room Games and RedBrick). Not just one of the two companies. The article is about Earthdawn not the companies producing it, thus the game itself should remain the focus of the article.
516:
It appears there are 2 seperate RPGs based on the Earthdawn future, for the cycle beyond Shadowrun - Eclipse Phase and Equinox. Each being done by the current owners of the relevant RPGs - Catalyst = Eclipse Phase, Red Brick = Equinox.

doesn't need to exist. Simply incorporate that into the Earthdawn article as well; this isn't an Earthdawn wiki (although an english-language and well-developed one would be nice). -- Rintaun (9:54, 18 Jan 2006 (UTC))
425:
That's why it's still here.... but seriously, if you've got all these books on your bookshelf, just adding a list of the books, their ISBN numbers and years of publication would make the article enormously more
251:
I fleshed out some of the race descriptions in an attempt to give each a bit more of the "Earthdawn" feel. Please edit what I have added if anyone feels I missed the mark or put in extraneous information.
381:
The history section of this article seems weird. It starts off with FASA's closedown of the series in 1999; the only trace of any earlier history is the 1993 publication date listed in the infobox.
333:
Perhaps it would be nice to know that there is a nonenglish Version of Earthdawn. The only other Language Earthdawn is translated to is German. The German Licence is hold bei "Games In" (

I did not want to take it out without a replacement. -- 388:- if I don't find a reference for facts stated in the article, why should I believe it? And if I don't believe it, why shouldn't I delete it? -- 146:
Seems to give an outline of publications more than the game and it's mechanics. Anyone object to lists of Disciplines and Talents beign added?
218: 544: 537:
Eclipse Phase is not connected to Earthdawn / Shadowrun in any way. It has a similar setting to Equinox but is completely unrelated.
523: 295:
What do people think about rearranging the page so that the current release (the RedBrick one) has more of the focus of the article?
470: 238:
I've created a new section briefly mentioning the different races in Earthdawn. I've included the information presented in the

Note that I'm not advocating actually removing any significant information, just re-arranging to say what Earthdawn

In each case, there'll be no mention of the other setting , so as not to impinge on Copyrights and licencing.

I'd rather see that article developed. If Windling should be merged into anything, then it should be
