Like you I was not after anything like that.This was written eons ago when the state of the RPG industry was more like this. See below...Insult? No man, I hardly saw what you wrote as an insult and truth be told I was refering to the Hârn Forum and not the intro to Hârn. But Robin is not far off as you might think. And calling it an insult to the rest of the RPG industry is bogus man. I have friends who game D&D (who call it superior to Hârn because of the reasons they game it) that are in their late 40ies and I know sons and younger siblings who also games D&D, but seldom do I see youngster game Hârn.Many of those who finds the game and starts enjoying it, are those who has tried out the rest of the industry and are looking for a more "suspension of disbelief" kinda game with lots of detail, "realism", and different kinda gaming (not to mention the immense medieval touch). It does however not mean that HârnMaster or Hârn are better because of it, but it does makes it great because we who game it loves what it represents. Just like some game D&D, Exhalted, Vampire and so on. Uh... Not on the Hârn Forum I can assure you. However the exact same thing happens to me a lot when I am advocating Hârn's strengths and why I find it so fun to game, on other forums. Often I get people who just simply comment what a lousy game it is without any reference to anything. It is like everytime WotC release something and there is a discussion about it, I would swoop in a tell you guys how much it all sucks. That never happens from my side and I can vouch not any Hârn member on the forum that I know of either.Reality? You jest me surely... I mean what you write is almost like we see ourselves as enlightened people that spits in your direction. That is simply not the case but we do feel we are gaming a superior game. Why else game it? You play whatever you game for other reasons than this? Yes fun of course but the best in your opinion is what you will game (unless you do not have any players) normally. I it wasn't I wouldn't game it at all. Hârn represents everything I want in a game and I have not looked back on standard fantasy since I was introduced to it 15 years ago.And Robin would probably have written it differently today (or so I am guessing)...</blockquote>
