I have one (one!) memory of the Earthdawn book and it was that at max level, Bards get an ability called “The Kiss” that lets them charm someone of “the preferred sex” with a magical passionate kiss
Sounds like rough phrasing for 2026 but in the early 90s that was surprisingly progressive

I learned today that Earthdawn is the past and Shadowrun the future, of the same TTRPG world. (insert Keanu Reeves "Woah")

Disappointing suggests a level of expectation. This rules out things I picked up just to see.
From there I've a couple bigger ones. However, I honestly can't tell you if it was the TTRPG itself, or the GM's fault.
D&D 4e
Earthdawn
Both come to mind.

You can be a windling in Earthdawn. They're supposedly about a foot tall although the in-game scaling is a bit out of whack.

I don't have any experience with Earthdawn other than the general understanding of the setting concept, lol. That's cool

I find old world boring. Earthdawn did pseudo earth better. I think the AOS lore is much more striking and unique than it's predecessor

"How did you get into tabletop role-playing games?"
For me it was the Highschool library with the Casus Belli magazine. I kept reading the articles while being completely fascinated by those mysterious games.
My first RPGs were
- DnD
- Shadowrun
- Werewolf
- Earthdawn
- SLA Industries
