    How do YOU draw maps?

    Being a user of CC2 Pro as well as Freehand, Illustrator, and Photoshop (have tried half a dozen others at least as well), I must say that CC2 was the hardest to learn even though the others are deemed more "professional". With CC2 you can make great looking maps for a small price (compared to...

    How do YOU draw maps?

    The best tip I have is to use patterns and symbols that look good. True, if you really suck at architecture no symbols or patterns in the world will help you. However with good looking stuff, it is easier to get a good looking map than it is for a great mapper to get a great map with lousy...

    Harn Adventures

    I am actually thinking of publishing two more of these... One next year and the other a year after that... In addition to this I plan to create generic floorplans map of various buildings, dungeons etc. done in the same classy style as the rest of the maps for Hârn. Stay Tuned! :)

    What are YOU buying this year?

    I will buy anything from Columbia Games regarding Hârn, everything from Kenzer & Co regarding Kalamar, and everything from Riotminds regarding Drakar och Demoner. Mostly because I collect the stuff... :)

    Starting New Kalamar Campaign

    What I find great about Kalamar is actually not the setting itself (even though I think it is the best D&D/d20 world) but the published adventures. You will get some pretty cool handouts with those and there is, IIRC, about 11 of them as of now. I do not know if there are more planned. Also do...

    Good detective adventure...

    If you want a hell of a lot of adventure ideas of some with detective plots please download this 101 Adventure Encounter Document that is IMO outstanding. It has helped a lot of DMs and GMs ands might be what you are looking for. :)

    Who would you like to draw your character?

    My two favorites are without a doubt Richard Luschek (who is a buddy of mine) and Peter Berting (who has illustrated a lot of stuff for D&D). Both have exquisite styles and put great detail in their art. Just have a look at these examples by Richard: http://www.swordsandshields.org/pic5.htm...

    I'm sick to death of dwarves, elves, halflings, and gnomes!

    You could always try out HârnWorld (www.warflail.com/harnlink) if you are not allergic to low magic and low tech settings based in a medieval world. There are elves and dwarves there but they are hiding/legends and are very few. In fact you could remove them altogether if you wanted and it...

    Need a new campaign setting!

    That is good to hear since the last time I was here I kinda let myself get involved with the d20 vs. Hârn discussion that unfortunately became very ugly (I was to blame myself...). Now I am back and you will not hear anything inflammatory from me regarding d20 since I have been trying to get d20...

    Discussing problems with D&D/d20 rules...

    Re: Ok. Now this will probably get me in trouble, but... Hey, please do bag all Hârn gamers to be like the very few anti-d20 people at the Hârn forum. KK is doing this thing by himself and although perhaps a worthy effort only a few Hârnfans are pissing on the d20 system. I do not like it as...

    Discussing problems with D&D/d20 rules...

    This is great actually. It would be cool if more people downloaded the stuff at my site and used it in their games, be it Hârn or something else. Some of the stuff on my site is easy to convert to your game and may inspire some to try out Hârn. But that is not a must... ;)

    Discussing problems with D&D/d20 rules...

    Great? ;) You would be more than welcome to discuss the d20 system on the Hârn forum as long as it was linked to Hârn. What? Yeah, there are a few Hârn players gaming Hârn with d20 you know. That is what I have been telling people at these boards. That there is a possibilty to use the d20...

    Discussing problems with D&D/d20 rules...

    Smartass. :p I meant dept not debt. But I didn't say it was better than Kalamar since that is for each individual to decide. I wrote that Harn is more consistent, has more realistic aspects and such. I just echoed what Keith wrote and what you asked. Although I do think Hârn is a better...

    Discussing problems with D&D/d20 rules...

    Yes it is. However I have both settings and Kalamar may be the closest D&S setting that follows this "rule", but it falls short compared to Hârn. I am not saying Kalamar is a lousy setting but compared to HârnWorld it is not nearly as consistent or have the same debt that makes us Hârniacs like...

    Discussing problems with D&D/d20 rules...

    Re: Re: Re: Runequest Although I am not KK I have gamed both Hârn and Warhammer and no they are not the same at all. Warhammer is a great game but it does not have the debt and detail that we Hârnfans find so great about the Hârn setting. No other game has, and not a single one comes close...

    Discussing problems with D&D/d20 rules...

    Then you have most definately read it completely wrong since HârnMaster is nothing of the kind, not even by a longshot. Remember that KK is still learning the system but I am not. His version is kinda of accurate but does not tell the whole story. And why all the geek naming? I see no reason for...

    Discussing problems with D&D/d20 rules...

    Re: Runequest That all depends on what type of sessions you are having doesn't it? I have been gaming Hârn with HârnMaster for over 13 years exclusively and I have never been exposed to what you write above. True the players are cautious when entering a battle but they do not turn into...
