HarnWorld Master Module, 3rd Edition
by Samuli [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 01/27/2024 11:15:28

A nice introduction to Hârn as far as I -- a newcomer -- can tell. I like the slicing of Hârnic knowledge into discrete articles. The flavour of the place really comes through. But you will need a kingdom module and a city or two and a map to start adventuring in Hârn. The Kingdom of Kaldor was bundled up with this title when I bought it but it really isn't enough. A map is sorely needed in the bundle and a city module too. Hence, only four stars for a thing grandiously called a master module that is actually only an introduction.

Potions
by Samuli [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 01/27/2024 11:00:42

Hârn is full of peculiar small things for a newcomer such as me. Here, an article on potions. Bought this on a moments decision since I got a discount code. The article is certainly interesting in a pseudo-academic way (as seems to be the way of Hârnic articles) and probably useful also outside of Hârnic roleplaying. It does what it says and does it in a no-nonsense way: it tells about some potions. Nothing very special or emotion-inducing but definitely exceedingly adequate.

I wasn't sure of what to expect of an article about potions only but I'm sure those expectations were satisfied.

Harn Region Map
by Steven [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 10/30/2023 19:53:49

The maps look great and hare incredibly detailed, but to be honest I can't read what terrain is what. Is that a forest, or hills? Is it farmland or mixed forest? Incredibly frustrating. I can't give 5 stars to a map I have trouble reading.

Refer to the "discussions tab". The pdf is missing 20ish pages between the pdf and printed book.

Peoni: Order of the Balm of Joy
by Steven V. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 11/02/2022 19:24:12

This is a well-written and informative book about one of the two clerical orders of the goddess Peoni in the world of Harn/Harnmaster. Although it is meant for the game Harnmaster, anyone can use the material here to run any game system in the world of Harn, and there is plenty to crib from if one is not even using Harn per se. Any similar goddess of nature/healing would work as the patron, and a quick swap of the proper nouns could make this book work in almost any medieval-like fantasy setting. The PDF quality is excellent.

However, I had no choice but to dock Columbia Games a point, and frankly almost two points, for three negatives about this book.

The first is the price, which under normal (non-sale) conditions is almost $10, for a 12 page document. That's nearly $1 per page, which is utterly outrageous. For comparison, the Ironsworn Lodestar supplement is $2.50 for nearly 3x the page count (35 pages, or 7 cents/page), and D100 Dungeon is about $14 for 74 pages (or about 20 cents a page). I understand that Columbia has to make some money on this, but charging nearly $1 a page is outrageous, especially given that this is a nearly 10 year old document which, as near as I can tell, as not been edited or updated since. And this is a PDF, not a physical book -- and even for a physical book $10 for 12 pages would be pushing it. This is the major negative and took off most of the point.

A second issue is the lack of bookmarks, and the "file protection" system used here (either by CG or by DTRPG, I'm not sure which) that prevents me from adding them manually (the PDF filie is locked against any editing, even bookmarks). This means that the only way to find stuff is to scroll. It's only 12 pages, but by the same token -- it's only 12 pages. Surely Columbia Games could have taken 5 minutes to make a few bookmarks... one per congregation, etc.

The third and final issue, and this is common with several of their products not just this one - despite the fact that there is a cover for this document somewhere, it's not in the file on DTRPG, so my document starts with page 1, not with the cover nor a title/publisher info page. Just straight into the text. There's really no good excuse for this.

I came this close to dropping the rating to 3/5 over these issues, but the content itself is too good to warrant that low of a score. If they'd just had a cover and 5 or 6 bookmarks, and charged maybe $5 instead of $10, this would be a 5 star offering.

HarnWorld Master Module, 3rd Edition
by Steven V. [Verified Purchaser] Date Added: 10/09/2022 14:54:40

This is a useful sourcebook for starting out in the Harn setting. The subcontinent (island?) of Harn is extremely well detailed, and there are several maps in the book showing kingdoms, resources, and geography. The book gives a 1-page summary of each kingdom, as well as brief summaries of barbarians, Gargun ("orcs"), deities/religion, magic, and the like. This book is more of an intro than a comprehensive setting manual. One would need multiple other books to have a complete picture of the setting. Useful to see if you might like purchasing the other materials, and as a guide for which materials you want. For instance, I am going to set my next Savage Worlds game in Harn, and after reading up on the Kingdoms, I chose Chybisa as the starting point. This then led to me buying regional maps and the kingdom book about Chybisa.

The quality of the PDF is excellent... I do wish there was a softcover POD option though (or heck, hardcover).

One negative, for which I had no choice but to take off a rating point - there are no bookmarks. None at all. And you can't add them yourself. Nor is there a TOC in the front, nor an index in the back. This makes finding stuff potentially frustrating.

Grossly over-priced. The Argan Argar Atlas depicts an entire world at equal or better quality, for free. Even as part of a bundle, this is absurd.
