Come and join our group
A place for fans of the last and best 2e setting to review, discuss and create together
So what's the goal of the group ?
Converting Birthright to 4e ?
Not necessarily although since it's the system I use I'd like to see some posting on this.
Mostly I thought it might be a good place for fans to post reviews and opinions of the books, discuss likes and dislikes etc. And also converting to systems other than 2e/D&D. Maybe share campaign ideas and memories etc.
My delusional hope is that if we can gather everyone in one place where wotc can see they may one day resurrect the setting. Or at least some DDI article support.
I would not convert Birthright to 4E. To me, Birthright was less about dungeon crawls and personal combat and more about playing the king in his court, or fighting massive wars with hundreds of troops.
You could technically run either type of campaign in Cerilia, but not utilizing the domain rules for Birthright would be such a waste!
That being said, my edition of choice for Birthright is Savage Worlds and I have been using the Hellfrost Player's Guide to make up my own conversion. I would be happy to provide the link on your site once I have more of it done.

Its a good job I don't use 4e to dungeon crawl then 8-).
As a system it's as least as effective as the original 2e mechanics.
The skill challenge system offers a unified mechanical base from which to effect both the domain turns and war actions.
Please do post re: your savage worlds game, I know others have used that system.
