Well, the last books I bought were HarnMaster, but since this is the General RPG forum, figure I might as well post here anyway. HarnMaster is a skill based system hailing from 1983, currently in it's 3rd edition. Compared to D&D it has no Experience Points, and a character improves through...

It all depends on what your players are used to. Admitedly, when I first started off in 3e I felt 25 was really low. Of course, coming off 2e, you need high stats to get any sort of bonuses. A 3e 14-str fighter is about as good as a 2e 18-str fighter. I suppose it really comes down to...

It's interesting. A few months ago I got into HarnWorld/Master. A world/system that's been around for 20 years or so, and the current HarnMaster is in 3rd edition right now. What I've found interesting is that the core "book" for Harnmaster comes in about 6.25 cents per page (160pp for $10 if...

In my very small and limited gaming circle, I know very few players who I could trust to handle the role properly. That one guest you have reminds me of two "guest" players we've had involved in a couple games. I call them "guest" players because they have never been consistent. If they come...

Well, while I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the source, in the disclaimer section he says that while he isn't a lawyer, he has discussed a number of points with a lawyer. As well, if I didn't make it clear before, this is from Canada, so if you are from the US, this won't apply to you...

Canada likewise is a signatory to the Berne Convention. Earlier in this thread I mentioned that in Canada it is quite legal to download (it's always been legal to download since copyright infringement (which this is) is all about distribution, and not theft (as in taking something which isn't...

To keep it simple, I'd let multiple attacks be done during the same phase. Splitting up attacks can lead to wierd situations that would require reworking combat from the ground up to be done properly. Wish I'd gotten to this sooner. Been away from the boards for a few days, and I see the...

I was thinking about this, and how it could be "fixed". I know I haven't liked the idea where someone in combat (say a mage caught in melee from an ambush) could step back out of range and safely cast a spell. About the only way you can currently disrupt someone doing this is to ready an...

I voted 2-3 before I realized how many monster "books" I have. 23 total at current count. This doesn't include books I may have downloaded. Dedicated "Monster Books": MM (2e) MM (3.0) Creature Collection (3.0) Beasts of Lejend (Legendary Adventures) Star*Drive Alien Compendium 2 (Alternity)...

In my present game, I have had decent attendance from my players. We do have one transient player, but I haven't considered him very much a part of the game. He's really only there because he's bored. I suppose my "standards" are a bit higher, and I want atleast 85% attendance. When I...

In the game I'm currently running, I suppose I can say that it will have 2 endings. One that has occured, and a second more evil ending. The first ending of the campaign was as mentioned previously after the 12th session. The group consisted of a Human Paladin, LG Human Ranger, CG(N) Half-Elf...

Quite true. Laser printers have become much cheaper, so I may look into that option. I have a lot of legitimate* pdfs that I'd like to print out. * Legitimate as in the 70 or so Harn fanworks that I have. For those who care.

Filesharing ? Illegal ? Not in Canada Cnet News.com I felt that this might be interesting to add to the discussion. I had only heard this second hand not long ago, and didn't think to search for a link for this particular discussion. At the current time, it is currently legal to download...

Ok, this post goes along in much more detail than I was planning to. I have no idea how much fire there is under this thread, or if it has simply come to it's natural conclusion (with nothing left to be said). I recently (since about Febuary) got into HarnWorld and HarnMaster. Compared to...

As others have commented, this is a very interesting thread. I'm coming in on it a few days late, though it has gone fairly strong. I wish I could attend GenCon as it would be a very interesting debate/seminar. Would it be possible to have it audio recorded, and then made available online...

Let's see. Last session (5/11/2004), I used (even briefly) the following: - D&D Gazetteer - Living Greyhawk Gazetteer - The Created (Ravenloft Adventure) - "Dungeon Builder's Guidebook" (2e sup) (Used the cover to "hide" * the above mentioned adventure, so that they were unaware of what would...

I'll likewise speak up and mention that Fantages Studios is interested in assisting anyone interested in publishing a product but which they don't have the knowledge or contacts to locate artists, do editing, layout, and advertising and marketing. Check out...

I'll see what I can do to answer them. I have a follow-up document planned for release some time next week. It'll cover things I didn't have time to cover in the original document. What do you mean by: "...was really over and sent to...". The circuits act as a protective mechanism to place...

Ah, I see. ;-) Do you know what the dimensions are of the Luche Libre Ring ? Octagon/Shoot Fight Cage ? Boxing Ring ? Explain what you mean by a "hard bump" ? I'm trying to follow the example. I felt the most entertaining (atleast to the players) style of play was to assume that things...

It happens quite often, though it's usually before the theme music has stopped playing. I'd say with a combination of a successful "Distract" and "Hide" check, you can get the jump on your opponent. Choosing to submit is completly up to the player. A wrestler who drops below 0 recieves...
