Bloodline divestiture is not easy to start with, and if this hypothetical democracy relies on shifting the realm's bloodline from ruler to ruler, no blooded character is ever going to volunteer, as they would have to surrender  their own bloodline (it having merged with the realm blood) after...

Given that the iconic parts of the setting (variant races/cultures, blood powers, domain spells and awnsheghlien) can be easily converted and then used with the actual setting itself with fairly minor adjustments, there are at least four different 5E conversion PDFs to my knowledge, three of...

Birthright games were popular to play online, if only because you could abstract the game to "just" the domain management and courtly politics, and thus worked really well in play-by-post format. I was involved in a series of games over six years or so, which featured a "domain-only" ruleset...

Well, nowadays, it wouldn't get made, definitely. Churches of the same god that openly politick against each other, widespread xenophobia and racism (the elves explicitly hate humans and the human realms can always take a break from politics to beat up some goblins), plus the whole literal...

This is what my hardcover collection looks like, if you still need persuading. ;) (I don't normally store my books horizontally, but you wouldn't be able to see the second row otherwise!)

You won't regret it. :D

That's an excellent collection! I had the good fortune to meet Joe Dever back in 2005, so my copies of Books 3 and 18 are even signed by him. :)

I don't know why I took a photo with the books ordered 3-1-2, but as a fun fact, Caverns of Kalte was the first book I read and for ages afterwards, I was prejudiced against Hunting as being useless, when it's now always in the top three I take. :)

Oh, do you have the US editions? Mine are UK editions I picked up in the mid 90s.

I'm disappointed that the new editions don't have the bonus adventures from the collector's editions, but the covers are really nice. I don't know why they're not standard paperback size though, like the (hardback) collector's editions were.

I've been buying the various hardbacks as they came out over the years, as well as the new releases of books 29-31. With the brand new versions, I now have Lone Wolf books from the 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s and now. :)

Well, it's been a while since I looked at MM3, but I think that Thorns came with an "as player characters" section, so if anything, WotC will have over-estimated how useful they are as PCs. You could also try an earth genasi (from Forgotten Realms), but flavour them as being plant-derived...

Mongoose had a Green Knight prestige class in Quintessential Ranger, I think, based specifically on the legend. There's also Thorns, small fey first appearing in Monstrous Manual III, who are literal little green plant men.

That is a really interesting page. Thanks!

David Eddings used The Will and the Way for his Belgariad/Malloreon books. You imagine what you want to happen and it happens, but if you do it too often or to too great an extent, it fatigues you (even to the point of unconsciousness). There is also an absolute prohibition on "unmaking"...

I went for Dragon Kings (or similar corrupt, all-powerful, oppressive overlords), environmental collapse (especially if the overlords caused it), psionics (or other variant magic style) and the sword & sandals theme. Everything else can be ignored or iterated upon.
