Hi.
I've found and pillaged a couple of sites offering large-scale birthright maps from the various campaign expansions, but does anyone know where I can download some province maps from the player's secrets expansions?

cheers if you can help

Pillaged, eh? Nice turn of phrase. :)

As for the maps from the Player's Secrets guides, I haven't seen any of them anywhere. Doesn't mean they don't exist online, but I haven't seen any. I've seen lots of homemade versions (Ghoere, Coeranys) but nothing from the official publications. Sorry!

There certainly used to be a link to such things on the old site (or maybe a link that was in the archives) I've found a couple of maps that I downloaded a while back, that look as if they were prepared from a scan and then further detailed. The sig's on most are 'Morg', and he attibutes one as being based on Mark Vandermuelen's work.

Hey, Morg! You still got these? If so, any chance they are hiding on bloodsilver someplace?

Just in case any of you guys are interested, I found this neat little website yesterday - It works out detailed demographics for fantasy kingdoms based on realistic medievil data.... might not work for everyone, but given Birthright's relativley down-to-earth nature, it might be an easy way of fleshing out some campaigns quickly. Take a look if you like, it's:

You might take a look at these too, they look mighty familiar...

Nice find. That reminds me that the map-a-wek section also hides some other Birthright maps - there's Roesonne's Blacktower castle in there somewhere, as well as a few others that I don't recognise but are definately from a Birthight suppliment of some kind.

Can you upload the findings somewhere so we can all use them?

Uh. Right, well thang is: my computer's not too hot, and my IT skills are minimal to say the least. Although my little archive of birthright maps continues to grow, there's not much chance of me sharing them with anybody - sorry. Most of what I have is downloaded from the following places:

The official D&D website's map-a-week archive:
http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/mw/20040101a
(which I guess most of you know)

The cartographer's guild:
http://www.saers.com~cobos/
(Loads of great country maps, but no provinces)

And the home-page of a guy called Morg who does some really nice maps, although as far as I know are based on his own unofficial material.... and I can't seem to find them any more.....

It seems kinda strange that every player's secrete's book comes with maps, but no-one's scanned them and made them available.... I guess that's out of politeness to the creaters, but since Birthright's not readily available on sale any more I wouldn't have thought they'd mind too much.... would they?

You would be surprised. TSR was notorious for defending its intellectual property with a passion bordering on fanaticism. I don't know how WoTC is, but they probably inherited some of the same lawyers. And I know nothing about Hasbro.

But I think it is best to think that they would care a great deal.
