[QUOTE="Sakzilla, post: 264773, member: 6105"] [b]That history bit[/b] I think it was ACE a page back that made a comment about a Harn game appealing to the history book-type. As someone who has played Harn and 3E (and Rolemaster!) and owns gobs of the stuff from all the systems, I do agree. A good friend of mine is a history major at ASU, and loves the Harn stuff. Especially the realistic combat consequences. To me, that is the best part of the Harn system. And he is all over Viking-style campaigns up in that area. And he plays in my 3E campaign as a brilliant contributor. [A friend of HIS is a Harn-only guy that does not get invited to anything I do - he is condescending, aloof, and quite annoying, but that is him, not Harn] Another friend of mine is very inteligent and can't stand the Harn stuff - 3E floats his boat and we all have a good time. Take these things in context - for a "Knights-Templars in the Crusades" campaign what did we use? Harnmaster of course! We are in a realistic setting using history books (Go Osprey Publishing!!!) and it applies. When I want to trot out a black dragon and a band of gnoll shamans, 3E is where its at. A Harn village is incredible for the detail - you never forget ANYTHING when you steal one of these for your own campaign. And then have those gnolls burn it down... Am I most common denominator? As someone who must DM all the time, I certainly hope so! I can draw material from hundreds of companies and thousands of settings, ideas, and (gasp!) history books. I love this stuff, and balance it with full time work and MBA course work. Ron [/QUOTE]
