TSR- No Response Yet!

[Stephen White]

Well, as promised I wrote to TSR on the 5th May from the UK asking about
the hiatus of the Birthright line (and briefly pointing out its
merits!).

I still haven't received a response.

Can somebody tell me if the below is a correct address to have used? If
so I hope such letters aren't just binned. If not, I'll send another
copy. Perhaps I'll write again anyway ......


Thanks for any response.



Stephen.

Re : TSR's Birthright Campaign Line



Dear Sirs,

I am writing concerning the suspension of TSR's Birthright campaign
setting.

Last year I was looking forward to the release of the new modules and
sourcebooks only to see them put on hold. Since then, there has been no
news of when you will recommence releasing products for this line.

As a subscriber to Dungeon and Dragon magazines, and a regular AD&D
player with most of the rulebooks released over the last sixteen years
(including everything for the Birthright setting), I feel that it would
be a great shame if this hiatus of TSR's best campaign setting was to
continue.

The setting is unique, with low magic and magic items and (relatively)
low level characters, it encourages storytelling whilst every combat
that takes place is a danger for the characters. Also, every action must
be carefully weighed against the consequences before the characters act
or the ramifications from other realms could be disastrous.

Could you please let me know the current state of the line, and when you
intend to release the next batch of merchandise.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,





Stephen White.

Well, I sent a letter to the two Brand developers of WOTC for TSR that I
could find (I just got back from a four day convention and am too tired to
find where I saved the letter. Sorry, I'm lazy) and actually got a response
concerning the Birthright product line, specifically the ones developed for
98 and not released.

I asked for permission to share some information from the response I got,
and never received a yes or a no. It's been about a week, so fair is fair.

What I was told is that the Book of Regency might be released with a
"generic" format that can be applied to all settings TSR put's out. I was
not given a product name, release date, or any verification that it was
going to happen for sure; keep that in mind. I was told "might" not "will".

I think that would be just dandy. We would still get the information, though
some of it would have to be a rehash of core BR rules as the people in the
other settings would be screwed without the core info; but for the most part
it would likely be clarified, revised, and a good thing to have. Plus we all
know BR well so it wouldn't be tough to see where it was intended to be
used...

Figured I'd toss that into the waters. Now the burrito calls...
