My situation Hello! I have a similar situation...I am a Gurps GM who often has to carry 4-5 hardcover books, a 3 ring notebook, plus a sundry list of pens, notecards, dice etc. In addition, I like to take maybe a dozen or so miniatures, and a battlemat to my sessions with me. Well...

After hopefully perusing 6 pages of replies, FINALLY someone mentions one of the ones I wrote! Does my old heart good! Glad you enjoyed it (BTW It was called The Other Orientals ;) TGryph

Harp vs Gurps Well I am currently GM'ing a HARP campaign on Saturday Nights and soon starting a Gurps Fantasy campain on the occasional Sunday. Here is my 2 cents... Harp.. 1) Feels like D&D done right. While it has levels and Professions, they are WAY loose definitions, almost guidelines, to...

Don't Like 'em but... While I usuallly strive for a more dramatic tone, iI DID relent for one brief summer session and allow Buck Fuggins, Ranger Extraordinaire and his dwarven friend Harley son of David.. They seemed to like it, but it wore off quickly enough. TGryph

Published Four Articles in Dragon Magazine (Old School) under my name Tom Griffith.. The Wild Warriors (Berserkers) Bonds of Brotherhood (Monks and Monkish Orders) The Other Oriental (Converting 1st Ed Oriental classes to 2nd Edition) To All a Good Knight (Knightly Orders) TGryph

Why I no longer Buy Dragon Hello Eric! To answer your initial question, after 24 years of steady purchase ( I still have all of them, starting with #32), I stopped buying Dragon for one primary reason. The magazine has become far too "out there", much as D&D itself has. I no longer want...

Actually, it was me... Rasyr; Just to satisfy your curiosity, it was me that oringinated that line about HARP doing D&D better than D20, in an old RPG.Net Thread: http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=124645&page=7&pp=10&highlight=TGryph I still feel that way too! : ) TGryph

I miss the one-page character sheet...instead of worrying so much about this Feat and that Prestige Class skill, you spent your time thinking about your character's personality, and what he was like by roleplaying (sigh) TGryph

HARP Stuff I was just curious about who won the HARP Freebies Raslyn provided, and what you think of them. Also maybe later on I could get an update from the crew I gamed with that got the core rulebook prizes. I hope you all enjoy them as much as I did running the game! :) TGryph

The other game I played was Burning Wheel, but to me a Con is a place to try different games. I am particularly interested in seeing HeroQuest and maybe the Conan RPG but I am up for pretty much anything! Hope to see you all again soon! TGryph

I too would like to take the time to thank all the players in my HARP game. Considering I had to go with a slightly "watered-down" version due to time restraints, my players picked it up and ran with it. I had four wonderful players that my my first con-GM'ing experience in a long time a very...

Not as good as it used to be, unfortunately. The new format and changes have dropped it's usefulness down a peg. I also find the adventures to be more outrageous and "over the top" than they used to be. Now that being said, it is still a useful product and I am probably going to keep my...

HARP Game Greetings All! I am running the HARP game at NC Game Day V this Saturday. I just received the adventure today from Rasyr, the game's designer, and it looks like fun. Without giving away too many details, lets say it involves a very old Cleric of Light, his disturbing dreams, and...

In case anyone is interested, Rasyr has asked me to run a HARP game and I accepted. I will run at least the scheduled one, and hopefully at least one more to demonstrate the system to more folks. I am already registered as a GM, and awaiting my scheduled time slot. Hope to see you all there...

Traded 'em in to ICE for HARP book credit...and haven't looked back since!

Well, coming from someone who has not only bought and read through but actually PLAYEd Harp, I feel obliged to put my two cents in. First, I am a long time (25+) years D&D player who was rapidly losing my love affair with the current edition, and was looking for something different. I tried...
