    Dunno about those printed for RPGA members but Halskapa went on
    general sale. I've got it somewhere.

    I use my own system which one of my players nicknamed "Afterbirth" a
    couple of years back. Quite nice, and I've managed to get it to fit
    the published stuff without any difficulty.

    Hiatus? No! Don't say it! Lalalala! Can't hear you! (stares upwards

    I might be wrong off the top of my head but I think he means the Hogunmark
    sourcebook, Ms. Bebris's very nice work.

    I you look hard enough on the web a few people have adjusted Birthright to the
    Hero System.

    I use Fuzion, a skill-based system. You can find all the low-down on my web
    page at http://members.aol.com/DKEvermore/GiantDowns.html

    It has about everything you need for a start. The Bestiary is currently being
    replaced with an on-line version. This is a sample of my ~200-entry
    Brithright and Fuzion Bestiary. I'll put up more as I can, but one set may be
    published by HG (I don't know for sure yet) and the others belong to a new
    setting I'm writing. BTW, if you look and now Hero or Fuzion, I think your
    gonna like what I've done with the Cerilian Dragons... ;)

    There is about 200 pages of printed material available through my website, any
    part of which any and all are certainly welcome to take a look and/or use it.
    I have much, more, but I'm kind of on a timeline with my new campaign book so
    I'll put up more updates as time permits.

    Oh yeah, you can get a module for character creation there, too. It is NOT
    for Core Rules--no AD&D on my site, except for conversion notes.

    You'll note that one of the Count's lieutenants is a halfling guilder which
    appears to owe it all to the Count. He's filthy rich anyway, but if you give
    him trade routes (and heck, I do--he's a guilder with juicy sea-side
    properties!), you suddenly have the most fabulously wealthy Lieutenant in
    Cerilia. In my game, he actually IS the most wealthy guilder. So I figure he
    pays for fleet maintenance and all the marines just out of his pocket change.
    And, heck if the Count would like to build a cool new palace, his trusty
    lieutenant would likely foot the bill for that too, especially if he gets his
    own tower!

    And Fuzion (me). I feel Fuzion scales better to fantasy than Hero. Fuzion is
    available from from the HeroGames people at http://www.herogames.com. Mine is

    Quite true, I mispoke myself. Hogunmark it was.

    And so I return to the question: Other than the published items one the
    store shelf, we have Hogunmark and Muden as Sourcebooks for Birthright that
    were "published" other than through the normal source.

    Were there any others?

    As for the comments on RM and Hero or Fuzion under Birthright, I am pleased
    that Birthright fans find it adapatable enough for their needs no matter the
    system. Having no toehr takers or pointers, I guess I am off to write the
    Rolemaster FRPG "Regent's Companion"!

    Regards,

    Yes, I agree. I have dealt with the matter by giving the Muden Regent
    several trade routes under his control, notwithstanding the fact that he has
    no formal Guild holdings. As a Regent could interfere withTrade Routes if he
    wanted to, I suppose one could also rationalize this by saying this is an
    additinal "tax" on trade routes. Whatever the case, the Muden source book
    is, to my mind, quite deficient in its economic portrayal of the Regency. A
    few tweaks and all is well,

    Regards,
    .Robert

    Not that I know of. But there will be a Danigau sourcebook soon, by yours
    truly :)
