HarnMaster Third Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Note: The version available here is 3.5, which has many new color illustrations. Errors in earlier versions have now been corrected.

Core Rules

The HârnMaster character generation system gives players a rich Hârnic experience. Characters may start the game with a wide variety of interesting occupations, and at various levels of experience.

Introductions to religious, Shek-Pvar, and Military occupations are included. Average incomes for all occupations and information about the guild system is included. Character contacts with (potentially) influential people are generated allowing players to explore relationships and advance their social standing.

HârnMaster uses a realistic interactive combat system that gives players many tactical options to control their combat destiny. The system is elegant, simple and easy to use.

The system is largely unchanged from the second edition and migration is easy. For example, the same character sheet is used. Also the Magic and Religion supplements are 100% compatible with 2nd and 3rd editions of HârnMaster.

HârnMaster 3 Mounted combat is now as an integral part of the combat system. SIZE rules are included to make combat with larger/smaller creatures more accurate.

BESTIARY
The bestiary includes articles about some unique Hârnic creatures (Ivashu, Gargun and Yelgri) as well as statistics for many other creatures.

I bought this because i played it quite a lot years ago when it was 1st Ed. Happy to have been able to buy, but would have like POD too, or even an unencrypted version so i could get it printed myself at Lulu or similar service. But it is protected sadly :(

This is version 3.5, with all the new color art and error corrections. This version was part of the Kickstarter this past summer.

No bookmarks, and security locked. Not awesome. The game system is great. I've been using it since the late 80s. So I wanted an electronic version, and here it was on sale for $4.00. And then I find out there are no bookmarks, and I can't use an editor to add my own because security is turned on.

Could you guys at least turn off security so I can add my own bookmarks?

I apologize for the inconvenience. These issues have been corrected and a new PDF should be available in your library.

Thanks a bunch! Awesome. To be clear to anyone else, security is still in place on this doc, but bookmarks are now in.

Andrew, what security restrictions are you seeing on this file? DTRPG is putting a watermark on it, but we have not set any other security measures. All PDF options, such as copying text, printing, commenting, etc are all set to Allowed.

It's password protected when I open it in CutePDF. It's asking for a "Master (Permissions) Password". The main reason I asked was for the bookmarks, but I also do basic edits like adding blank pages to enforce normal pagination for printing.

I've asked DriveThruRPG tech support about it and they said that the password protection is added as part of their watermarking process and is not something I can change. Sorry.

Thanks for your attention to it anyway, Brent. This is the main reason I'm always getting on people to make a print-ready version of their PDFs, with proper endpapers. A professional submission should always have a page count divisible by four, and that should include proper end blanks unless the endpapers are meant for text or illustrations.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
