Message: <blockquote data-quote="IcyCool" data-source="post: 3164119" data-attributes="member: 20308">Birthright was a beautiful setting, richly detailed, and very playable.  I played 3 games set in Birthright (one of which was a 3.0 game with ad-hoc'd Birthright stuff), and GM'd one.  We went through the books, decided on what the blood powers did in 3.0, and we were off and running.  I was never completely comfortable with the mass combat rules, and we pretty much tried a different, made up system, for each of the two times we ran mass combat (I suspect I'd use the mob rules from PHB2 now).They wound up siezing, civilizing, and claiming the island of Caelcorwyn, ruling it as a council of regents.  It was one of the most entertaining games I ever ran (and my first time DMing D&D 3.0).  I even got to use a classed Imp as a BBEG.  The game went on for almost a year (they had four domain turns by that point, with their new nation), before the out-of-game strife between two of the players broke it up.I even remember some of their names:Emma (half-elven ranger/wizard)? (norse human nature priest, who single handedly eliminated the undead crew of a ghost ship by greater turning them)Ackbar al-Akhmed (arabic falchion warrior)Herkia Bjornsson (norse human fighter/wizard/sea wolf (custom PrC))? (Stout dwarf)Alexander von Schaffan (second son of the Berhagen throne, conniving SOB)Victor von Schaffan (first son of the Berhagen throne, simple-minded knight in training)? (Human paladin)</blockquote>
