TSR was in such turmoil at the time that they really didn't support it the way they could have.Actually the fans at athas.org and the darksun boards at the WotC site have been very vocal over the years.I am not sure why WotC didn't go with Dark Sun when the new psionics came out. It was actually fairly strongly supported novel wise (and PC game wise too).IMO there is the IP issue.Mongoose was going to publish a rule set called Bloodlines that by the early adds was extremely close to Birthright. They ended up incorporating the domain and mass combat stuff into their Conan line. I have a feeling they ran across potential IP infractions with the way they were originally going with the Bloodlines stuff (it was all about dead gods and touches of divinity and the like - far too similar to Birthright).Eden's Fields of Blood has definitely drawn from BR. It has a decent domain and mass combat system.Cry Havoc by Skip Williams has a strong mass combat system.</blockquote>
