Strongholds shameless self promotion

[Thomas_Percy]

As I mentioned here about year ago, I'm cooperating with The Forge PDF publisher on "Stronghold" series.
Because BIRTHRIGHT was (adn is) nearly all me rpg's activity, this "Strongholds" are as far as now fully compatibile with Brt AD&D and new rules from 3e.

What is Stronghold?
In the BIRTHRIGHT point of view it's a description of castles, feuds, armies, guilds, economy and so on of a noble from simple knight to prince Darien Avan. Of course we don't use copyrighted names, all is generic.

As far as now two parts are ready, one of them published:

A knight is living in a "Manor":
hamlet (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/Anuire/Places/widok.jpg)
donjon (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/Anuire/Places/donzon.jpg)

A baron is a ruler of a Brt. province and lives in a "Barony":
small town (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/Anuire/Places/osadaForge.jpg)
small castle (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/Anuire/Places/zamek.jpg)
(sorry for beta quality)

A "County" - typical Brt. level of a regent is in making now.

Tha last, 4th part it will be "Duchy" - a stronghold of Brt. one of "big four": Avan, Boeruine, Ghoere, Mhore.

I don't give a links to rpgnow or drivethru, because I'm interested in your ideas, not money.
If you are interested, I can paste here some excerpts to review.

Beautiful work, very impressive.

Nice me likey

Nice to hear such words.

We are working on nearly 50 tiles for "Manor" now.
I will be something like "Lego" - with the possibility to customize your own fortified hamlet (palisade, drawbridge etc.). The rest are tiles of tacticaly interesting places (a weir, a little bridge, beehives etc.) and some typical adventuring places (burned inn, dungeon below well, ruins of sunken abbey etc.) .
There will be three big maps of all manor lands with forests, orchards, ponds etc.

Our next move will be "Barony" - description of typical Birthright province (level 4/2). Of course it can be used in every setting: Greyhawk, FR, Eberron.

In a distant future (2006) we plan to release third part "County" - heavy crunch rulebook with absolutely new rules for Realm Spells - Rituals full compatible with magic spells from PHB and accessible not only for regents.

Downloaded it and have to say it is quite good.

A little to generic at times but I can see why it was made this way.

When is the next one coming out?

[Thomas_Percy]

We are working on tiles to hamlet of the knight and his manors now.

That are our little temporary thumbnail gallery from 2005 pdfs:
