Just remove the cap on regency collection (which depends on a character's bloodline score). If a character wants to start his own domain, I'd let him gain regency points through adventuring and questing.I guess the designers aimed for ease of use and quick battle resolution in Birthright. This is contrasted by the detailed and rather time-consuming domain rules which could certainly use some streamlining (income and law claims, I'm looking at you <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />). Using average values instead of rolling for income is a good start. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I'd be very happy to see it return, but judging by Chris Perkins' comments that he posted in <a href="http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19597486/New_world_setting_necessary_for_4e" target="_blank">this thread</a> (posts #73 and #90), I'd say a 4th edition Birthright is unlikely.This, in addition to a glut of campaign worlds. Birthright was the last setting published in 2e and had strong competition.Though the way it's presented in the books does lead the DM to assume that, IMO it depends upon how the DM chooses to run it; characters can adventure to their heart's content while also running a domain. My preference was to run typical D&D campaigns with the opportunity for the characters to become regents in the course of the story. (One of my group's characters inherited the Barony of Diemed after the ruling family was killed during an invasion from the Shadow World. Of course the party had to beat the invaders back after that. Who wants to rule a smoking ruin? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />)</blockquote>
