re:BirthRight Net NPCs

[Trevor Romkey]

A similiar post has given me an idea...I run a gaming club in Halifax, Nova
Scotia, Canadawe are about to embark on a 15+ player and 3 DM Birthright
campaign. All most all of the player character countries are represented and
some of thr other realms as well. After discussing it with the other DMs we
have decided to open up the remainder realms to you guys.This will allow us
to concentrate on running the game and not the realms.It will add an edge of
realism and play quality 3 over worked DMs couldn't hope to match.Off the
top of my head there are a few countries left(please excuse the spelling),
Medoere, Elinie,Coeranys.We may consider players for Mhoried,Osorde, and
Thurazor and players for all of the non-landed regents all over Anuire(with
the exception of the High Mage Alies and El-Hadid).If you are interested and
willing to commit to a weekly post than drop me a line and I'll mail the
details to you direct.


Thanks,

I am interested in participating in your campaign
via email. I am especially interested in becoming
the regent of Medoere (as it's one that you put
up for grabs) and have expirence with that nation
as it was ran by a player of mine the last time
I dm'ed. Ergo: I can put the nation to use and
provide what would hopefully be useful input
for the "world happenings" of your game.

I don't even mind gender bending as Suris
Enlien instead of some male. Actually I'd prefer
that since I'm out to roleplay.

Enough babble, you get my interest,

thanks for offering up the campaign sounds
like you guys really want to work! :)

Great I'd love to have you participate, however Medoere has already been
claimed how about Coranys or the evil Jason Raenich in Osorde or a
non-landed regent(almost all of them are up for grabs).

Thanks,
Trevor

Gronko, Glad to have you. This went out Tuesday. Medeore is yours for the
taking.

All-

After many days of waiting, we are ready to begin. I am your host, Mr.
Roger,
welcome to Birthright by E-Mail. The rules are simple and should be easy
to
comprehend. You all have the Birthright Sets. I will run the campaign as
close
to the source materials as possible. There are some exceptions, and their
will
likely be more as we progress. Let me make this broad sweeping comment;

Play statement;
"I am running Birthright by E-Mail for FUN." I hope you are all playing
for the same
reason. If at any point what we are doing stops being fun, please let me
know. I
want to address your concerns. I am not an autocratic DM. I am the
referee or
game master. All I do is help you all interpret the rules and resolve your
actions.
I have engaged a consultant to help me adjudicate the game (my own DM whom
I
have mentioned). This should let you all know that I am concerned with
providing
you with the most pleasant and fair environment you could ask for."

Rules;

Setting - Anuire (Sorry to everybody else). There are a number of
countries and regent domains available. Please select from among these.
(Please try not to go Further west than Elinie/Osoerde/Aerenwae and no
Further north than Doesone. The tighter compacted the regents, the more
fun you could have.

Players - You must be a regent. Rules on regency/gold collection and
actions by class will be observed. Any of the Anuirean domains are fine.
You may assume a character, or make a new one. The choice is yours.
Last names are mandated for law families. Characters start at 15,000 exps.

This figure does not include ability score modifiers applicable to your
character class. No awnsheigh allowed.

Selection - Only two of you requested a specific country before we began.

Bcantrell = Caern Aglondier, Wizard Regent of Ilien.

EQuigle = Some kind of Elf Regent of Aerenwae.

All others are open. They will be issued on a first come first serve
basis.
Do not reset your computer's clocks to fool me. Please list your top three

choices, in order of preference. Be prepared to play any of your top
three choices. I will resolve same top choice preferences by die roll.

Moves - E-Mail moves to me by Friday every week. E-Mail all moves to
rservey @ sprintmail.com. Inlcude the type of move, description, desired
affect and regency or gold spent. The DM will process actions over the
weekend and send results by Sunday evening. Diplomacy has some special
features (see Diplomacy below). Sunday evening notes will contain the
following;

a) Beginning Treasury
b) Beginning Regency Pool
c) Moves results and debits to Regency and Treasury
d) Current Diplomacy offers.
e) Events occurring in your kingdom
f) next season's random event
g) next season's taxes collected and regency (At your assigned
tax method)
h) Any delayed Diplomacy results
i) Current review of provinces where you maintain holdings.

Address - While playing please address each other by character name.
Anonymity is to be preserved and unified address maintained. Please
address me as Roger. This is my real name, but hey, I was never fond of
"All Mighty DM." A sample address is "Caern of Mieres" or "Kaelin of the
Heartlands Exchange," "Darian De Enlien of the Star of Sarimie," or "Mad
Maeve, wizardress of the Marshes." This is cumbersome, but avoids
misunderstandings. Any actions which do not include proper address must be
voided. Please be careful.

Moves - We will process one season per week. This includes three domain
turns. please list your moves with contingencies based on failure or other

character' s actions. As you may or may not know what other players are
doing, don't worry about this too much.

Diplomacy - Do not E-Mail the other players. This is entirely unfair to
the
others. Diplomacy calls for a gold bar and a random role. Collusion is
expected, but only as a result of diplomacy. Diplomacy should be included
in your normal moves. I will forward your request to the character and
they
will respond by the next Friday. You will know for the > following Sunday.

Therefore, Diplomacy has become a three season process. Season one
- Propose, Season two - Accept/refuse and Season three - notification
/reaction.

War - Is ugly by E-Mail. You will all give me your objectives and
strategy, units involved and special features. I will thereafter resolve
the combat. I use the War Machine, not the cards. I will do whatever is
possible to insure the best representation for both sides. Special War
E-Mails will be issued to inform the involved parties of results. Please
be ready if you have War declared upon you or of you declare war on
someone. This will involve special attention. If you are unavailable for
moves, your lieutenants will take action on your behalf, in what the you
feel
is the best fashion. (I am negotiable on this point, but I hate to stall
the group on this point.)

Exceptions -

Law Holdings and tax collection - All tax is collected by law holdings.
Therefore everyone with law holdings can collect tax. Here's the tricky
part. Bhaine in Taeghas is a 6 province. Boeruine has 2, Taeghas has 2
and Avanil has 2. Who collects the tax? Equal split 3 ways on tax.
Period. Tuornen has 3 and Avanil 2 in a 5 province. Tuornen takes all.
Avanil can challenge against the challenging table 18A in the rules book,
but that is it. Challenging also immediately alerts Tuornen to the
Avanese's presence. Tuornen can resist with regency and Avanil can
accomplish with additional regency. If this does not sound fair, please
let me know. Temples and guilds are unaffected.

Holdings and classes - Here is an unfortunate double standard. Fighter
regents CANNOT own temple or guild holdings. Prelates and Guild
Masters can own law holdings, but not guild (Prelate) or temple (Guild
Master) holdings. For a non-Priest to gain control of a temple holding,
the
Fighter, Thief or Regent must install a lieutenant Priest to run the
Religion as a regent whom they can demand tribute from. Tribute can be
anything arranged between the two. The regent can do this with existing
Temple or Guild Regents. This overcomes an unfortunate shortfall legally.

This is pretty much all I can think of now. Please let me know if anyone
has any questions. I am eager to hear your feedback.

While today is Tuesday, we will be ready for this Friday. To do so, I
need your characters and preferences lists, by Friday Morning. If I
receive enough responses by Friday, I will proceed. I will post the
startup announcement on the Birthright list also. Good luck, God speed,
and Success in Your Endeavors.

P.S. Does anyone want to have an Internet Relay Chat Conference? We
could set a place and time for a "Chat." MPGN has some good chat rooms as
part of their software. Please let me know.

P.S.S. Please respond on this E-Mail to this address if you want. All
moves anf future correspondence will need to be sent to rservey @
sprintmail.com. This is my business address. Thanks for the help.

[rservey@pcservice.co]

Tevor-

Remember this? Right now I've got your set for Diemed... Is that okay?

- -Roger

- ----forward----
Hi I am interested in playing in your Birthright PBEM. I was given your
name from Rasmus and he suggested that you may still have a spot.I've been
playing Birthright since it was released and have been involved in one
other play by mail version; so if there is anything I can do to help just
drop me a line.
I would be interested in playing either Roesone, Diemed,Tournen, or
Brosengae. (in that order)

Hope you still have a spot.

Thanks,
Trevor

Hi, i'm an italian student called Giulio. I like to play Talinie in your game
(so i'm going to be a cleric) but i could take any other role you think would
fit better. Unfortunatly I started to apply at this mailing list only this
week so I need some summary about the previous rules you stated. If you accept
me i'll send you all the stats you need.

You could contact me at giulio@usa.net
