Birthright d20, anyone?

[Paxus Asclepius]

Would there be any interest in a d20 Birthright campaign? I would love a chance to finally DM a game that's supposed to move at the speed most PbP games do. I'm looking for four players, running about one domain turn every week.

Note: Using the Birthright.net rules

SQUEEEEEE! Yes!
As for the rules,

Comes to mind. Official, and all.

edit: the Downloads sections wasn't working when I checked.

Any idea where you'd want it set, Pax? Will there be adventures, or just domain actions?

What exactly would we need access to in terms of products? Would we need old 2e birthright stuff?

I'm like so signing up for this one - as long as we only need the D20 conversion stuff (my access to the old campaign materials is practically non existent)

Sounds good. I've always thought that BirthRight had potential. I'll take a slot, if you'll have me. I want to look over the rules and get a better idea of what you've got planned before I turn in a character sheet, but I'll probably want to play a wizard.

Oh, btw, since three spots are officially booked I'll put my name up for the last one, so long as I have the necessary materials.

Put me down as an alternate!!

Interested as well.

There are two options for setting. Option 1) Either Birthright.net possesses and makes available for download, or someone possesses and can distribute, a map of Anuire, in which case we'll be using the Anuirean domains, or option 2) neither of those is the case, and you'll create your own domains rom whole cloth in Brechtur.

The emphasis will be on domain actions, as the pace of PbP is better suited to that, but if anyone has the time to devote to running actual adventures, I'll be glad to do so. I'm thinking that I'm going to eliminate the wizard class entirely, using the sorceror for elves and the blooded (thus switching the elven bonus to Int over to Cha, and changing their favored class), and use the adept with arcane casting and a modified spell list for the magician, as it's truly an NPC class at heart. If anyone objects to these changes, or has more ideas on the adaption, feel free to let me know.

Sure. Eliminate the Wizard. The class I was most interested in playing.

Oh well. I can find something else, although I would ask *why* you feel the need to ban the class.

As for advice, I agree with Dirigible; use birthright.net's material instead. It's much better, IMO. Despite their download section being empty, I was able to find and download the book (in .pdf format, size is 4-5 MB) through here:

It's the "Download the BRCS" link on the right side of the page; left-click and use "Save Target As," as simply right-clicking on the link will attempt to open the pdf file online.

Can you give us some more info on making our characters? Will we start as regents, and if so, how much will we have (in terms of provinces, holdings, leutenants, treasury, etc.)? What campaign background do we need to know?
