Has anyone ever played or run a game of Birth Right on RPoL ? Or is there one currently running that anyone knows of ? I always thought that system might work well here.

I played in one that combined Pathfinder and made us heroes that controlled certain areas of a city.  I really liked it, actually.  Difficult to execute, but with a highly-prepared GM, it's totally doable.  And quite enjoyable, in fact.

BR games occasionally appear.

You're asking 2 different questions, as BR is not a "system" but just a (unique) campaign world, with supplemental rules for PC's running a Kingdom of their own (or something parallel but less "noble" for Rogues/Clerics/Wizards, should they choose).

So, "a game of BirthRight" can result in 2 entirely diff results - one a pure Role Play game with a broader strategy/overlord backdrop, the other a Strategy game with roleplay window-dressing.

The first is using the material as intended, as a campaign setting and expansion, to broaden the possibilities for Role Playing leaders of kingdoms etc. in an otherwise standard game.

The other is to try to adapt those expansion rules to a massive Player v. Player, Realm v. Realm political/military game, where each Player usually runs several political figures within their one "Realm" the goal of expanding that political entity (and/or just surviving the other competing realms).

(I, personally, believe that the latter is badly flawed, as BR was never intended to do that, nor imo can it support such a game as designed, not without extensive house-ruling - but that's neither here nor there.)


Which were you looking for?
