    Why, certainly! Actually, I think birthright is excellently suited for
    play-by-email campaigns. Someday, I might even start a Birthright PBEM
    campaign myself (He said, and added it to his looooong list of projects
    and ideas...:-)).

    Great!! I'll forward on your information to my DM. Got a country
    preference? Tuornen is the only one taken, although I would dispute that
    Alamie is also. My charcater and /or I think we own it. The rest are
    open. Let me know.

    I don't mean to be a nay-sayer. But wouldn't it be more appropriate to set
    this up as a Bard telling tales? I can't see newspapers being printed in
    a Renaissance (sp?) setting.

    Ahh, but it is a magical Renaissance setting. The newspaper is run by a true
    mage (she controls a small source). So mage casts a scribe spell which copies
    her voice onto paper. Then casts a duplicate paper spell to replicate the
    document.
    By the way in my campaign this newspaper is only avalible to the rich and the
    regents. I introduced as an easy way to keep the players uptodate on what was
    going on in other kingdoms.
