Earthdawn Publishing Trust
The EARTHDAWN PUBLISHING TRUST (EDPT) is fan-based publishing organization dedicated to maintaining the rich storytelling tradition of the Earthdawn role-playing game owned by FASA Corporation.
The primary focus of the EDPT is the development of areas left partially or fully unexplored in the official Earthdawn material. The secondary focus is to serve as an "Earthdawn writer's workshop" that will encourage solidarity in the game's fan base.
To support these goals the EDPT publishes a free, online fanzine, called the Book of Tomorrow, and provides a forum for the development of even more ambitious projects, like sourcebooks. The fanzine provides a place for fans to publish their own Earthdawn material and to find material produced by other Earthdawn enthusiasts.

EDPT Hacked
Well it certainly has been an interesting month. As you may have guessed, EDPT was recently hacked and compromised the security of the server it was on. As a result I decided that it was time to apply some updates that I had been neglecting for a while.
Since the site had a serious security hole, I decided to recreate the site from scratch and just port the database information into the new settings. Well that was much more difficult than the plan I had in my noggin.
To further complicate matters, I would say the life reared its ugly head, but the issues that I have been dealing with weren't really a bad thing, just time consuming. So the site is currently up and running and I've restored the forums, which is what I believe to be the most arduous task. There is still a lot to be done, but I figure that you would rather see it in a partially working state than that annoying "We'll be back" message. If you encounter any problems, please feel free to e-mail, PM, or post in the forum.

New FASA e-books
We're happy to announce the availability of three new FASA eBooks this week:
THE DISCIPLINES SOURCEBOOK FOR EARTHDAWN
Adepts are the heroes of Barsaive, fighting to reclaim and rebuild their Scourge-ravaged land. The magical Disciplines they follow grant them fantastic powers and shape the way they see the world. A warriors sees life as a battlefield, and wields sword and shield with magical brilliance. A troubadour see the world as a tapestry of tales, and uses his magic to spin stories and songs that sway the heart. An archer divides the world into missiles and targets, and powers her bow with her Discipline's magic. Through their Disciplines, adepts forge a bond between the world, powerful magic, and their own innermost selves.
The Adept's Way offers players and gamemasters an inside look at being an adept in Earthdawn. This sourcebook fully describes each of the 15 magical Disciplines most often practiced in Barsaive, from the point of view of an adept of that Discipline. The Adept's Way also includes extensive new rules for using Disciplines in Earthdawn adventures, acquiring multiple Disiplines, and roleplaying suggestions for adepts.
A LAND WHERE ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE!
From the disease-ridden Mist Swamps, home of the great dragon Aban, to the barren Horror-infested Badlands ... from the inferno of Death's Sea, domain of fearsome fire spirits, to the mysterious Wastes, a smoke-enshrouded place of perpetual darkness, the wilds of Barsaive hold lethal dangers for would-be adventurers.
The Earthdawn Survival Guide offers players and gamemasters a detailed look at the hazards of exploration and adventuring in the land of Barsaive. This sourcebook includes first-person accounts of Barsaive's myriad dangers, from the hazards of underground and wilderness expeditions to the dangers of traveling, as well as descriptions of the Badlands, Death's Sea, the Mist Swamps, and the Wastes. The Survival Guide also features an extensive game-information section that includes rules for travel and exploration hazards, first aid and healing, and guidelines for creating a variety of Earthdawn campaigns.
A SHATTERED SOUL
"I no longer know who I am, I have lost my Name, my very self. I know nothing of my past, nor how I came to Kratas, nor how this misfortune befell me. I would like you to help me find out who I am -- and who has done this to me, if you can."
Someone has stolen the old elf's memory and you have few clues -- some coins, an amulet, and an old map that leads to a treacherous wasteland plagued by the wretched disciples of a terrible Horror. Will you help the old one? Can you solve the mystery -- and live to tell the tale? Beware, for all is not what it seems, and the fate of Barsaive itself may rest in your hands!
Shattered Pattern is an Earthdawn adventure for 6 to 8 characters of any Discipline who have reached the Fifth to Seventh Circles.
Please note: These books are eBook versions of the original Earthdawn game line previously published by FASA Corporation. These are all First Edition supplements. The content of these books has been integrated fully in the <u>Player’s</u> , and <u>Gamemaster’s</u> , and <u>Adventure Compendiums</u>!

For many years, the Inner City of Oshane has been a source of tension in the Kingdom of Throal. The city's population is heavily ork, while the government is primarily dwarf. The two races have lived together uneasily at best. A combination of poor government and racial tensions have recently sparked race riots in the city. Now, a spate of fires has sent the situation from bad to worse. It will take more than a keen sword to restore peace...
Redbrick has released the sixth adventure in their Earthdawn Shard series. Blackout an adventure based in the dwarf kingdom of Throal, has been revised from the its first release in Throal Adventures. One of my personal favorite adventures, the high quality of
