Hello everyone,

I have recently taken the 3.08 PDF and began dm'ing a third edition D&D campaign in Cerilia. My players want to play regents and do the whole domain running thing but they like the 3rd edition rules and do not want to relearn new races, new cleric domains, class changes, etc. I have found this sentiment in my own and several other gaming groups in my area that I have contact with.

So...after going through the 3rd edition conversion in detail, I have found that it does not convert Birhtright to third edition but rather 3rd edition to Birthright. (No offense to the people who did it, it is an excellent resource and I could not have done what I am doing without it.)

I am now reconverting it and making changes such as keeping the races matching the abilities in the third edition PHB. Removing the magician class entirely. Matching the gods up so that players can just change the name but temples, modules, and all things deity related can be converted easily. For example, Pelor = Avani, Heironeous = Haelyn, Kord = Cuireacen, Obad-Hai = Erik, etc.

I am trying to make Birthright a setting within the 3rd edition rules without changing much about the third edition rules. Maybe making them more consistent could even improve the popularity of the Birthright line we all love so much. I have no wish to take away from the uniqueness of the world but I am striving for consistency.

I welcome feedback and discussion on this and am also hoping the people doing the Third edition conversion can shed some light on how much it will be like the 3.08 or if any of my opinions have already been brought up or considered by others?

Thank you to everyone who contributes to the Birthright on-line community, you have my deepest respect for all your work and I hope you take my post as trying to add to it and not be divisive in any way.
