I love the Tower Ships… I’ve always really enjoyed the Brecht setting… especially playing either a Guilder or a Rogue. Very fun. 
as for the pbem, i’ll have to check it out.
In fact, play multiple characters in the campaign. Its fun.
Guys , i really think that Rjurik is something that suits very much the whole setting.The scenery , tha realms , politics…many challenges for the PCs and small in size.I think it’s ideal for a good , average size PBEM…
I went with Anuire. I picture it as something between France and England so it was not too hard for me to get a feel for how it would play.
I have been lucky enough to run campaign games in every region but the Vos lands. To me, the Khinasi lands are the most interesting.
The region haves more than its fair share of awnshegh and the nefarious agents of the Serpent are great antagonists. The lands have widely varied environments, desert and jungle being unique to the area. The distinct difference in culture is fun to roleplay (sayim especially), a nice change from the usual medieval European society.
i led my players into the burrows, discarded the halfing society, and created a “new” domain for that.
from there i could enter every region i wanted, bretur, khinasi or vosgaard. the players like it alot

Every region of Birthright is attractive to me as a place to set a campaign. However, Anuire remains the easiest for a typical gaming group to envision. Plus, Anuire has a lot of great adventure hooks that the other realms lack, such as the Imperial City.
The Heartless Wastes strike me as a tough place to begin a campaign, but potentially one of the most rewarding of all.
I like that they detailed Anuire more than the other realms, and left some areas open for the DM to decide what’s really going on there.
When we first stated playing in the birthright campaign about 2 to 3 years ago I played a Brecht mage. He was very nationalistic and always talked up the brecth way of life. It just stuck when it came time for me to run my own campaign. Not only that but I am a huge H.P. Lovecraft fan and the Kraken and all the little costal towns make it like Innsmoth all over the nation. That is why I chose to run my games in Brecthur. In the future I will try the Voslands but that is way in the future.
For me, as a D.M. its the Highlands. So many of the countrues are on the brink, its easy to start a kindom there. But as a Palidin loving player i like Anurie.
I like the Khinasi flair, that’s why I prefer it. Dschinn, flying carpets, civilisation 
and so on. I like also to play in Anuire and Rjurik. The only campaigns I don’t want to play in are Brechtür (to confusing) and Vosgaard (to barbarian).
Too bad you forgot to include the Shadow World in the poll. Regardless of where my campaigns start, my players always end up there at some point of the adventure. And they NEVER want to enter the Shadow World again .
Maybe I´m too obsessed with Lovecraftian horror…
Cthulhu for President!
VOS then Anuie
I like Brechtur, mainly because there’s plenty scope for sea combat, which is really cool. And there’s more to do there than just fight, e.g., exploratory trade, trade chain etc. I just love the economic part of Brechtur.
Having said that, I too am partial to Anuire mainly because the politicking there is especially intense! And when it stops and the armies start marching, the war is usually on a massive scale!
Humm, I guess I like all of them
Though I don’t know Khinasi because I don’t have Citadels of the Sun (or something like this)…
But my vote will go for Shadow Lands, but for diferent motives than Kappenkriaucheran - I like “dream” stuff and fairy-tales. It’s high fantasy but not as vulgar as Forgotten Realms.
hmmmm being on of the few gnoll lovers I know of, I prefer the overlook region which is half brecht, half vos, followed by the khinasi for that reason, as I result I’m not sure if I should say brecht or vos, as the gnollfells while technically in vosgaard, are far more aimed at brechtur
