[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8446308, member: 6879661"] There was a very enjoyable (if flawed) game for Birthright called The Gorgon’s Alliance. Where you could play pretty much any kingdom. I really liked it as you could do battles, adventuring locations or the kingdom management element. It definitely was buggy and had some difficulty issues but it was a lot fun… reminiscent of a very rudimentary Total War game, with first person shoota adventuring added. For me Birthright has a few opportunities: [LIST] [*]Kingdom building [*]Mass combat [*]Rules to spend cash on castles and manors etc [*]An opportunity to portray non Western cultures in a reimagined way. [*]Tap into the Game of Thrones market… Birthright had an iron throne two years before GRR Martin published GOT. [*]Offer an alternative to the King Maker AP. [*]Taps into the same faerie tale mythology as the Witcher. [/LIST] I actually don’t think it was core D&D at all. It’s a ‘Narrow Magic’ world. Dragons were exceptionally rare. Elves more like those from the Witcher series. There’s even a wild hunt. Monsters act as rulers. Everyone is a little bit Demi-god. It’s a cool setting, that would benefit from modern editing, Adventure design and publishing. [/QUOTE]
