Encyclopedia Harnica Series ~ Harnlore ~ Other Columbia Games Products BROWSE MY HARN ITEMS CURRENTLY IN STOCK Harn is a fantasy campaign setting, first & foremost. It is based roughly on medieval Europe, with seven countries: Five feudal, one democracy and one nordic-style. The emphasis is on realism, with magic & fantastic elements muted. Harn is an old setting, dating to the early Eighties. In terms of richness and detail, the setting was way ahead of its time, and still an attractive setting today.   Hârn (Harn)
The original Harn folder contains Harnview (32-pg; overview & GM info); Harndex (64-pg; 1000 entries on history, geography, religions, cultures, politics, and economics of Harn); Regional Map (a beautiful 22"x34" poster map). 1983  Harnmaster, 1st Edition
"At last — a sophisticated and common-sense set of rules for fantasy role playing. Finally — a rule system as good as the world of Harn. Harnmaster is the result of years of testing, development, and campaigning on the World of Harn. This fantasy world is quite simply the most logical, detaíled, and consistent product of its kind. Harnmaster reflects this quality. Although the rules are designed for Harn, they can be used in most fantasy envíronments. Of course many other systems have made similar claims, so you have every right to be skeptical. We also realize that adopting any new FRP system is a big commitment in your time and money. But if you are seeking rules that make sense, rules that operate on elegant and logical principies, rules that do not insult your intelligence, give Harnmaster a try. You will not be disappointed. The major features of the system are described below. CHARACTER GENERATION FRP characters, like real people, do not spring into the world as adults with a few basic attributes. They mature in particular environments, acquire personal histories, and have distinct personalities. The character generation system pays lavish attention to such details. Thirty two (32) character attributes are covered. SKILLS Harnmaster is a skill based system. More than 120 skills are used. Some skills are universal, some depend on social background, some are common, and some are rare. Skills are derived from character attributes to reflect natural ability. There are no character classes or other arbitrary limits on the skills characters may possess. The system opens up new dimensions in role playing; characters may practice occupations such as Herald, Mercantyler, Pilot, and Weaponcrafter. COMBAT The Harnmaster combat system is dependant on weapon skills and battle experience, and provides players with many tactical options to control their combat destiny, Best of all, after two or three uses, players will find that the system runs quickly and smoothly, without burdensome paperwork. Harnmaster does not use "Hit Points". It generates graphic injuries such as bruises, fractures, and crushes to specific body locations. Injuries are rated to determine their effect on physical activity, and the amount of time they will take to heal. Harnmaster's recovery system is realistic and deals with bloodloss, shock and infection. RELIGION The religious system operates on the Harnic pantheon of ten major deities. Rules for becoming a priest are given, and the system also covers the accumulation of piety for lay adherents and divine miracles. MAGIC The six convocations of the Shek-Pvar are described. The rules explain how a character may apprentice in one of these brotherhoods of the "Guild of Arcane Lore" and, with talent and luck, become a powerful sorcerer. A selection of spells is given, but the system encourages sorcerers to develop their own enchantments. BESTIARY The bestiary deals primarily with creatures that are unique to Harn, such as the Gargun, lime and Ivashu. Statistics for bears, wolves and the like are also given. TREASURE A detailed treasure generation system lists a profusion of enchanted artifacts along with more mundane items such as jewelry, written works, weapons and armour, etc." 1986 ...

"INTRODUCTION: HarnPlayer is comprised of three parts. The first part, Harnview, is an overview of the geography, politics, economics, law, religion, and history of Harn. The second part is a Book of Common Knowledge, which covers the Harnic legends and folklore known to most folk. The third part is a players' Harnic Dictionary, a comprehensive alphabetical reference which players can use to look things up on an ongoing basis. The information provided is more than a typical player probably would know, but nothing that one should not know. No matter how much reading is done, players will still be ignorant of much that a medieval person would take for granted. A bit of extra knowledge of the world compensates in a small way and makes the game more interesting." 1994 ... 136 pages ...

A lone group of travelers hurries to a remote Laranian abbey to escape the merciless weather. The powers of fate have chosen them to become involved with a series of violent murders at the abbey. Chendy is an abbey of the Laranian Order of Hyvrik, held from the Bishop of Ternula. Someone is killing clerics of the abbey. But why isn't there a corpse to be found after each murder? Are there in fact really any murders, or is someone playing a devious game? Why are the other noble guests of the abbey so chilly and remote? Has the time of the final battle between Larani, the shining guardian of Dolithor, and Agrik, the Lord of the Four Horsemen finally come, fulfilling an ancient dark prophecy? In an atmosphere of fear, mistrust, political intrigue, and religious hysteria, the characters must discover the answers to these questions if they hope to survive.

"100 Bushels of Rye is an adventure module for Hârnmaster, but it is sufficiently generic to be adapted to most other rule systems. The adventure is set in Kaldor, a feudal kingdom in eastern Hârn. It's a gloomy, overcast, autumn day in Olokand. Sir Maldan Harabor, Sheriff of Meselynshire, has been informed by the local chapter of the Miners' Guild that the Amba Mine in the west of his shire has been closed due to a mysterious outbreak of violence. Several murders have occurred, and to make matters worse, unconfirmed rumors indicate the crimes have spread to the nearby village of Loban itself. A written request for information from Sir Kathel Dezaller, lord of Loban manor, has been ignored. Sir Maldan is anxious to see that the mine is re-opened before his own lord, the King of Kaldor, starts asking some embarrassing questions. He is also worried that Loban's annual feudal obligation, namely 100 bushels of rye, has not yet been received. Harvest time has passed, and this debt has always been delivered by this time in past years. He would be a lot more worried if he knew the truth. The players must investigate the violence at Loban manor and Amba mine, and then if possible solve the mystery. The village of Loban has been mapped and described in some detail.

Religious strife looms between an Agrikan and Peonian cleric. Clord is a manor on an island near Thay, recently granted to the Church of Peoni as an abbey and hospice. Most patients are lepers.
