    Also I am hoping this book will assume 3e rules and not 2e or would that upset people who have kept with 2e?

    I was once anti-3E, now I'm starting to warm up to it. 3E is more versatile than 2nd and the only problems it has are minor.

    Yes sir all "official" products for Birthright will now be in 3e format only.

    I vote 3E as well.

    Also, someone might have mentioned this all ready. But I think you might want to add a section on the guilds like the Shadus magazine used to have. The "Hook, Line, and Sinker" section. Basic stuff revolving around how the Guilds would involve the players. Essentially they're just ideas for GM's to run with.

    Is an optional rule system for commodities too much to ask?

    Before completing it, I suggest taking a look at all the pbem websites out there, some of them have very interesting rules that should be considered for inclusion.

    As an example, I can easily think of the rules about ressources, trade center, trade caravans(which replaces those infamous trade routes) and embargos used in EBR:

    I know other pbems are likely to use interesting rules as well, now all you have to do is collecting them :)

    There's been discussions on commodity type rules. The ideal remains to keep things as simple as possible, though.

    That link didn't open anything BR-oriented for me - it did open a pop-up hell type site, though, Temujin. Is it down, or did you mistype your link?

    The site doesn't open on the link, but opened when I copied and pasted it.

    Who wants a simple game? Oh, so I guess everyone but me then. Oh well, I guess I'll have to come up with my own system.

    Simplicity should lie at the core of any game system. However, simplicity does not equal a simple emulation of the world. If you look at 3e, compared to 2e, the core mechanics of 3e are simpler and more streamlined. Yet they have a far greater ability to emulate or encompass various concepts.

    To put it another way: Much more is outlined in clear rules in 3e than it was in 2e, yet those rules are far simpler to explain due to there being a simple core mechanic to it.

    I suppose you could call it a more elegant rules system.
