Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tyler Do'Urden" data-source="post: 1190540" data-attributes="member: 4601">A Magical Medieval Society "sort of" covers this territory, but it doesn't do a sufficiently thorough job on the stuff that matters for domain-ruling, while it's excessively detailed in areas which are less relevant.  Not that it's a useless book, it's certainly not, but it leaves a lot to be desired and doesn't translate too well into a workable system for managing domains.The oD&D rules from the Cyclopedia could be adapted too, but they have very, very significant shortcomings- and seem to leave a lot of gaps to be filled in.There's Birthright 3e- I looked at these rules, but they are, in many ways, too tied to the setting, and don't scale terribly well.An issue of Dragon that came out I believe in Spring of 2001 had domain rules, but they were insufficiently detailed, and scale even worse than the Birthright rules do... way too abstract for my tastes.Dynasties and Demagogues, the Penumbra sourcebook, has good rules for politics, but nothing for actual domain management!I've flipped through AEG's new one... it seems a bit too cludgy.  I'm looking for something a bit more elegant.  Anyone interested in trying to integrate these disparate systems into a workable set of domain rules with me?  Want to start an "open domain rules" project?  Or should we just wait and see what Mongoose will come up with?  And, since both AEG and Mongoose have come out with a book on the subject, might FFG also come out with one, given that the three have a tendency to copy each other (I generally prefer Fantasy Flight's books over the other two, anyway, since they always seem to stick closer to the WotC books and assumptions than the others do...)</blockquote>
