Hello all, I am looking for any PBEM games of Birthright to join. But I also want to run a game my self and was woundering where do I get the software to run it or the programs.
I want to cut down GM time to what is needed, not live, eat, breath, and drink it.
Can any of you tell me of 3.5 birthright PBEM game and or where to get aids to help me run a game?
I don’t know of any taking people, sorry.
If you want to run your own, you can always install the BIRWeb system from LEBR. If you get everything going, it is pretty much automated, from what I can tell. I haven’t played there since LEBR2 started, but they even have a Java interface to input turns. Seems to me to make life very easy.
I am interested in PBEM also. If you find a group or start up your own, let me know. I have already downloaded the software for future use.
First of all you can join LEBR… www.birthrightonline.com
Secondly, the java system for entering turns is not ready for the public yet and I dunno when the programmer will release it for others. Right now it is only used by us… The programer does want to make it available to the public some day…
The Birmail program is an automated program to deal with the turns and the maps and the filling in of the data into tables and stuff… It is very useful… ou can find it at Sourceforge… Search for Birmail…
Only problem is that there is no Help file or FAQ about it, so you have to go blindly, cos the programmer is not really around to help people with it…
LEBR’s discussion boards are at: http://www.deault.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl
and realms pages at: http://www.deault.com/lebr/
and joining instructions at: http://www.niilo.ca/lebr/joining.html
On Birmail, it can currently only deal with 2nd ed. characters. A second-generation program is under development which will include support for AD&D 3.5. I have no idea when it will be finished, but if you are curious, you can look at:
