Birthright

[ispa]

Does anyone know of any good sights specifically to do with the
Birthright setting?

I have been running my first Birthright campaign, although I have owned
the materials for a little while longer. My players love the setting,
but they seem to want to take each other out (to each his own kingdom).

Websites? best is probably Darkstars, which has the Birthright Netbook (a
bunch of cool BR junk), and links to other BR sites. It can be located at:

Nothing wrong with that. *G*, of course, there are methods available to DMs
to. .. encourage. .. unity, if that is what you want (nice, threatening
NPCs). But IMO, if the players are having fun scheming against each other
and plotting the downfall of their neighbor; hey, this isn't Barney, yah
know. It's more like "Diplomacy."

Hey bud, I had the same problem myself. Though it can be fun to do so, it's
usually best to avoid the possibility of having to remove one of the players
due to his inability to defeat the other players. To avoid this, I found it
best to have the players create regents of different domains (Guilds, Sources,
Temples, and of course Lands) Also, placing the regents on the far corners of
whichever land you are playing in can help. Instead of plotting against a
regent on the other side of the world, it's much easier to deal with those who
are right next to you. I'm sure Avan has no plans to take out Osoerde any
time soon. On another note, you may try using Awnshegh or major bad guys to
encourage teaming up. Avan and Boeruine are unwilling to team up against
Rhoubhe.. but there are plenty of realms surounding the Spider. And the
Gorgon will be marching through any time now, so Sielwods, the Mhor,
Tuarhievel, and all those over there HAVE to team up or be destroyed.
