HARNWORLD: THE SILVER WAY INN, COMMENTS.

This is a nice straightforward article, the GM is given everything he needs to bring the Inn to life, and all of the characters have been provided with good write-ups that provide plenty of ideas for minor plots or background events. The maps provided are clear and readable. While written for Columbia Games Harn setting, the lack of game specific statistics means that it should be easy to adapt the information provided to any game setting.

The only faults I can see is that the text and maps are on the small size, if printed on an A4 or letter sized page, it may be necessary to enlarge the maps to bring up all the detail.

HARNWORLD: THE SILVER WAY INN, VERDICT.

In conclusion, "The Silver Way Inn" is an article I would recommend downloading, Inns are often the focus of role-playing campaigns and this article provides the GM with a location the players will want to come back to.
