This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Damn, this is sad news.  I love everything Harn I've read.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Crossby.
For fuck\'s sake, these are games, people.

And no one gives a fuck about your ignore list.

That's what I was thinking, but didn't type it.

RIP Robin, all us Harnics at //www.lythia.com and everywhere else will miss you!

Quote from: Elliot Wilen;227536Eric Hotz probably did the painting--it's the cover (or a "superset of the cover") of Harnmaster 1e.
Michael Codd did that painting:

(that image is a merged version of the two above covers)

Thanks for the fact-check, Dan. I didn't think it looked quite like Hotz's work but his was the only name I found under the 1e credits at pen-paper.net.

No worries! It was the only real rpg art Michael did, IIRC. I like it alot also, as I do Hotz's work and Richard Luschek's newer art.

Well damn.

On the bright side, I bet there is one rocking RPG campaign going on in the afterlife right now.

Quote from: mearls;2275622008 has not been kind to the hobby's icons.

Funny little story: I first read about Harn in a Dragon review of Gods of Harn. For years, I wanted to find that book but could never get my hands on a copy. Last year, during a culling of WotC's RPG archives, I finally came across it.

And lo and behold when I cracked open the copy, written in the inside cover was "Dragon review copy" and the issue and date that the review appeared in.

I thought that was pretty cool. I had been looking for the book for ages, and ended up with the very copy that sparked my interest all those years ago.

Well? Did you like it? ;)

Do you think God gets to wear the Viking Helmet? I mean, who is going to argue with him on the chances something might occur or if something is possible?

And what must that rule book look like?

I always loved Harn from afar. An amazing piece of work.
