Thread: A RoleMaster in Harn Game
-
November 25th, 2011, 20:10 #41
To add a little more information. The vast majority of the game will be Harn based with RoleMaster being used as the combat system (since I need a combat tracker and character sheet ).
Basically the PC's will be characters built in HarnMaster and converted to RoleMaster so the majority of RoleMaster rulebooks would not be applicable. Skills and some others things will be converted to match RoleMaster stats or manually set up in the character sheets to make them fit more with HarnMaster. If you do not have any Harn material, in particular HarnMaster, no worries, you do not need to know anything about Harn to join in.FG:Unity Ultimate License Holder: Meaning anyone can join my games, even those with just the Demo . . .

As magic is very rare and technology is low, healing is a problem in Harnmaster. Players had to learn the joys of cauterization (burning wounds) to lower risks of infections...
My favorite part about Harn is the detailed, multiple dimension web of intrigue between all the organizations: the multiple nobility layers, the religions, the merchant guilds, the crime lords, etc. As GM in Harn, I had a lot of fun making the players pawns in these various relationships, and seeing their face as they figured out who they were really involved with...
The setting is so rich in details and opportunities that it's really up to where the GM wants to take it though.

Interestingly, having done some comparisons for how I plan to convert things, I am finding that the base, starting HarnMaster (version 3) characters match up to 3rd level RoleMaster characters really well.FG:Unity Ultimate License Holder: Meaning anyone can join my games, even those with just the Demo . . .

Sounds very interesting. I'd love to at least see if it fits with my schedule. I like Harn to read. I would be a pleasure to play it.
I like Role Master too so there is not down side except maybe the work involved.
