I'm not entirely pleased at the prospect.

You know, I'll give it a chance, but I have serious reservations.

If I had the gumption to go through DSF, I'd dig up the notes I made years ago when I was fiddling with my own Earthdawn/Shadowrun continuity idea. It was based more towards the end of the Sixth World, when magic had overran technology as the tool of choice in a high fantasy setting. Tech became highly valuble as it was able to do so much without attracting the attentions of The Horrors. IE's controlled walking fortresses made from giant living trees and controlled by advanced AI's. There was a plans for a Forbidden Zone, populated entirey by AI robotic-constructs that kept to themselves and worshipped thier own silicon God. Adventurers would forage fearlessly into the widerness in hopes of finding scant pieces of tech to bring back the independent tinkerers.

I dunno, it sounds like a vaguely interesting setting, but I'd probably try to read through more of the setting information before buying the book.

Sorry...but eh. It sounds a bit lame from the short description. I'd have to see some more information before giving it a whirl.
