Not many people have heard of Harn, and those that look at it tend to shirk away. But those who actually play it are hooked! he combat system is fast, usable and gritty, right down to hit locations, and it does away with Hit points, making those critical shots that always semed impossible, possible!

The latest version from Columbia Games is a welcome release for all fans of the game.

For those who dont know Harn, lets recap - Harn is a low-magic setting that allows charaters to build realistic Medieval characters for all generic fantasy games. The benefit? The fact that GM's who wish to add more fantasy can, but those who wish to remove fantasy find it hard to do so - If the adventure revolves around undead armies, and you dont want undead, then the adventure premise is ruined!

Harn is a GM's delight - Great Maps with fantastic detail. Believable, useable NPC's with great adventure hooks.

Now with Harn Player 3, you can create your own characters. People who grew up in a town, joined the militia, bought their own weapons and made several friends and enemies(!), moved to another town and started thier own lives now looking to join an adventuring group! The entire process takes less time to create than a DnD 3rd ed character, and now Charater Generatprs are available on the net, making the process even quicker!

Many people thought HarnPlayer 3 was simply a rehash of old material, brought together again....

To us newbies who havent seem this before, it is finally a concise, useable character system that incorporates many elements that others miss, noteably: Character Pre-game Background to REALLY flesh out your character!

Look over it... Read it.... Love it.... and join the world of us Harniacs!
