yah! Didn't humanity (or whatever, sentient races) have to go to ground / sleep during the shithole years in Earthdawn? Like massive underground civilizations to wait out the demons? I don't remember much from playing that in the 90's, but I do remember my fighter gliding around like he had rollerblades (but magic or skill or something) in fights.
Massive underground cities, yes. Our GM put us further in the past than the book suggests; we were one of the forward parties from a major underground settlement looking to see if anyone else opened their doors yet; he ran it as kind of a creepy-as-shit horror game.
The magic was way OP, the Step system of scaling was nuts. But at least it did come with a Strain mechanic.
