I know I'm late to this thread, but I'm still here. I just logged into the website for the first time in.... ages. I'll make more of an effort to visit here, and if there's anything I can do to...

Well, there's nothing in the canon materials.

The way I set it up in some stuff I once wrote for a PBEM was that the Roeles came from the First House of the Andu, whose ancestral lands are in what...

A dark hour, indeed.

As others have said, I would like to thank Arjan for his dedication to the site for over a decade, during which time we've passed through multiple D&D editions, the BRCS, a...

The only time I've ever seen it happen in a PBEM is as a result of a DM-inspired plot; i.e., an NPC takes the Iron Throne at the culmination of a story, plot, or scenario. Typically, this NPC is...

Yes. This is my style of play. My gaming group and I play in the Birthright setting pretty extensively. Characterization and combat are typically handled in the latest edition of D&D; we made the...

I used to run all my pbems in turns because of the slower game associated with rounds. However, I think you'll find that because of the online nature of the game, player interaction and diplomacy...

I agree with the point on pre-game teamwork. I've had a lot of trouble with this before and, yeah, its terrible roleplaying, its unfair to the other players, and it represents a triumph of...

Hmm... well, I agree with some of the points here, and disagree with others.

- In almost every game I've DM'ed or played in, the pre-existing alliances have remained intact. Most of the time...

I'll just add a few things to what others have said.

- Assuming that there will always be another turn is crucial to the success of the game, even if it isn't true. Quite often players are aware...

Wow, I haven't been back to these forums in ages. They're all flashy looking and what not now. =)

But anyway... to the OP, if you can find someone who's presently in a pbem or one of their...

I've been running a D&D game (Birthright no less!) over Skype with some old friends for over a year and half now. We use software called Gametable for mapping and virtual tabletop purposes. Its not...

Hey guys--

I've been going back through some old stuff, and I came across something I had written a few years back. Its a realm description I wrote up for a city-state in Aduria. It makes use of...

I really haven't posted in a long time, but I thought this thread needed some updating.

Yahoo Geocities is closing down later this year. Many of the oldest Birthright sites were established on...

First off let me say that I seem to have misunderstood the topic and was misunderstood in the replies. I was certainly not saying that we should leave 3.5 behind, I may even continue to play it some...

I haven't been posting a lot lately, but I have been lurking about...

Personally I favor the development team approach, with a public review process and allowing for the submission of works by the...

Understandably, a lot of players remained with 2E. Equally as understandable, some will remain with 3.xE. Nonetheless, I believe it is absolutely essential to begin work on a 4E conversion, so as...

Yes indeed. Although I was more specifically referring to the Blood Spawn supplement.

The shadow world parallel of the Sidhe are the Seelie, ruled by Queen Titania. They of course have their evil brethren, the Unseelie, ruled by Queen Lussina. Before the the shadow world and the...

I generally play them as aloof and wise and not favoring interaction with mortal creatures. Generally they've served as plot points for an epic quest or piece of information. The last time a dragon...

I've used it as the burial location and final resting place of the elven smith who created bloodsilver. His tomb, deep in the woods, was protected by a band of ghost elves.

I just recently ran the preview adventure ("Keep on the Shadowfell"). It went pretty well. It certainly opens up a lot more options and tactics in terms of combat. In times past combat would...

I've been out of the community for 6 or more months now, as life got a little too busy to hang out on internet message boards (but I'm back now for the moment).

26 years old.

I first saw the BR...

I haven't been back here to the site in a while, but I thought I would go ahead and post an update.

My pbem, at the link above, is seeking a small number of new players, perhaps three.

1 - I...

Just thought I'd post an update (after this I won't post anymore annoying ads for my pbem =) ).

Domains are filling up at a fairly quick pace, however I still have room for number of players. ...

Good suggestions. I think I'll probably implement them.
