YMMV / Earthdawn

• Older Than They Think: A powerful nation forced to shelter themselves from an apocalypse in great underground shelters. Many of which failed miserably, leaving only tombs filled with dangerous monsters and lost treasures. When they re-emerge, the survivors are each their own nation, battling for supremacy. Most would say that's Fallout... except it's a fantasy setting. Funny thing? Earthdawn was first produced in 1993 - and when Brian Fargo wanted Interplay to work on a licensed game, and had three tabletop properties in mind. One was Vampire: The Masquerade. Another was GURPS, designed by the the-Games Workshop’s Steve Jackson. The third? Earthdawn. He got the idea for the iconic post-apocalyptic franchise from the fantasy apocalypse game.
