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
with his fingers in his ears in a vain act at denial)....

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"!

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,

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