[QUOTE="Darrell, post: 475108, member: 680"] Another vote for Dark*Matter here. Mystara, too, though I wouldn't mind seeing it whittled down to a 'small-scale' setting featuring only a few countries--say, Karameikos, Darokin, Alfheim (giving it back to the elves and getting rid of the 'pseudo-drow' Shadow Elves) and Glantri--and released as a 'stand-alone' product. I wouldn't mind seeing Birthright redone, but don't really know if I would buy it. I hated the 'bloodline ability' stuff, and was never all that turned on by the whole 'player character nations' aspect; but I loved the twists on race relations (particularly with the dwarves being the race that got along fairly well with everyone and elves and humans being at each other's throats), the fact that many 'Monster Manual critters' were unique beings, and that the continent was carved up into many small kingdoms instead of a few half-continent wide empires. Maybe Birthright could be re-done as a dual-product release--one book featuring the bare-bones setting, and another with info on bloodlines and rulership. Regards, Darrell King [/QUOTE]
