D&D 5E (2014) Survivor Campaign Settings- Birthright Wins?

[Mercule]

Birthright 8 (+1)
Lankhmar 1 (-3)

I liked the Lankhmar idea of clerical magic as "white magic" vs. wizardly "black magic" otherwise, it didn't really bring much to the D&D table.

 

[Ristamar]

Birthright 5
Lankhmar 2

Amen. Birthright is a wildly underappreciated setting.

Birthright was actually a pretty solid setting. I have zero beef with the results.
It went as I expected, honestly. The settings everyone is tired of mostly went first. The "This ain't D&D!" (Darksun) setting didn't last much longer. Then it was a brawl between the second stringers with the "Best of the Rest" (IMO) coming out on top.

But the real winner was darksun with the most votes. ALL HAIL ATHAS

Amen. Birthright is a wildly underappreciated setting.

As I said earlier, we played a short Birthright campaign - using 5E rules. It was an interesting diversion and the DM did a very good job of setting the scene and testing us as a group. It was however during a time when we were a little short on player numbers, and the style of play probably didn't suit those of us who took part - but it was fun all the same. It's very detailed and very different to the norm, and thus probably deserves a bit more recognition amongst the gaming masses.

Not a patch on Dark Sun though!
