[QUOTE="Mad Mac, post: 4825243, member: 27873"] Possibly. I always thought Birthright was a cool [I]idea[/I] for a setting, but most of the details left me cold. As a complete do-over, it could work. I also think the coupling the setting with good, easy to use realm management/mass battle rules could encourage people to pick up the setting just for the extra goodies. Ok, now I've seen the quote you're talking about. It's a good point, but I think you can argue that Birthright can provide you with useful content and background to use the sort of rule expansion that he is referencing here. I mean, in theory you can take the rules for this stuff from 2nd edition Birthright and apply them to FR, but then you've got to do all the work yourself. With a Birthright setting, you could potentially have (statblocks?) for several nations or settlements that players could try to rule or lead, as well as other setting material geared towards running that sort of campaign. If nothing else, it could serve as a very useful reference book for DM's to pillage or reskin for their own settings. That said, I still think Birthright is pretty far down the list. My guess at this point is: 2010 Dragonlance 2011 Dark Sun 2012 Candyland Extreme. [/QUOTE]
