Recorded August 2nd, 2020 as part of GenCon online. Brent Bailey and Marc Renouf narrate a 90 minute introduction to how to use the Hârn setting with any RPG game rules.
I Just discovered Harn and am interested. The site says that thousands of people play it but I can find no games looking for players online or IRL. Can someone tell me if there is a web site or forum that is actually active? Ive been to the official site which seems to be dead and there was a post directing people to another forum which is practically inactive as well.
5:47 625 x 825 mile is the main map. I did a comparison of the Area Map of that main Harn Continent and discovered its about the size of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and parts of Western Montana Northern Cali, British Columbia.
Own and love the game. Got in on it from the very beginning. In fact, we just started a new campaign at the Guthe Bridge. Would definitely recommend. It's great to be able to create your own spells, machinations, and king making in Kaldor.
How hard would it be to turn the gods into Catholic-like Saints, and have them all part of a unified Monotheistic Religion more akin to the 13th century Catholic Church?
I would suggest Chaosium's Basic Roleplaying Universal Game Engine. It is d100% based, similar to Harnmaster, but far more flexible. You have a lot of control over what rules/mechanics you want to bring to the table. Dial up, or down, the complexity. Dial up, or down, the fantasy elements. Harn is one of the greatest settings of all time.
I'm using Mythras! It was actually RuneQuest 6e before some licensing issues. In any case I think it's the very best version of BRP (which is what dickskull there was talking about) for games like this. Really I think it's just the best version of BRP for any game.

I am getting interested in Harn too
Just wanted to say how much I appreciate this video, and I'd love to hear more about Hârn!

And that's just a (relatively) small island, off the northwest coast of a *much* larger continent.
Thank you. 😊 Abd thank you for clear closed captions.

Easy. It would be quite straightforward in my opinion. If you tackle it, please share the results.
That sounds awesome, definitely please share the results!!
Great informative video. Thank you!
GOT free repast for sure ❤❤❤
Do you have any suggestions for roleplaying game rules to use with Harn other than Harnmaster ? Thank you for your time. Hug from Montréal Québec.

(1:14:00) I would mention the facebook group(s). A lot of beginner questions are faster answered there as in the forum.
I second this. Both 'Friends of Harn' and 'Masters of Harn' are excellent Facebook fan groups.
