The maps of the castle are broken up across multiple pages so you don't get a view of how one section connects to another. The picture on the cover ellicits a view of a massive castle, but it is very small. Also has map detail of buildings in the village but not interested in that.... Pretty lame especiall for $10! Wasted my money

These free samples are great! I love all of the Columbia Games products!

Like everything Columbia Games puts out, this is incredibly detailed and very realistic. Great add on product, or can be a stand alone for any other system or world.

As many HarnWorld maps as I have, it is always handing to have another set of map keys! Their products are always top of the line.

The Harn Region, Kingdom, Atlas, City, Manor, and Wilderness maps are one of the MAIN reasons that I love the Harnworld line so much. Download this free map! You won't be disappointed.

Columbia Games has a wonderful policy of providing these free samples. Their products are chock full of valuable resource material, well-formatted, clean, crisp, and professional. The samples are a great way to familiarize yourself with one of the BEST game settings out there.

The Alienage is the foreigners' quarter of the city of Cherafir in the Kingdom of Melderyn. This map is best used with the Harnworld supplements City of Cherafir and Kingdom of Melderyn.

Just watching the layers appearing in the opened map is a pleasure. The details are consistent and follow the standard for cartography established across the entire Harnworld line.

A free player map supplement to accompany City of Coranan, This zoomable electronic map could be used by a Gamemaster for their own non-Harnworld setting, though it is best used as intended - for games set on Harn, in the city of Coranan, the capital of the Thardic Republic.

This and the Harn Region Map (also free) are a great way to introduce yourself to the world of Harn and it's publishing philosphy. Village of Roganter is included with six pages of text, two pages of economical data and maps of the village in both black & white and full colour.

Practically every Harnworld / Harnmaster gamer and Gamemaster has at least one of these maps in hardcopy. This iconic regional map covers the entire island of Harn and the surrounding smaller islands. Cities, settlements, countries and natural features are listed, along with locations of interest such as Gargun (Harnic orc) lairs, enigmatic ancient Earthmaster sites such as Telumar, Ridow, and so on. Terrain features, rivers, lakes, mountains, swamps and so on are displayed.

This electronic map has two advantages over the printed version: it is zoomable, and there are no worries about it getting torn or damaged by coffee stains. This is offset by the disadvantage that you cannot lay it out on a table like one of the printed maps.

Nonetheless, this amazing map is the best start for any games or Gamemaster wanting to enter the world of Harn.

This four-page article, titled Keys and Legends to the Maps of Hârnworld, provides detailed instructions on how to read both the interior and exterior maps used across the entire Harnworld range.

Harnworld has a bewildering range of maps, on the regional scale (e.g. the Harn Regional Map, the Ivinia Regional Map, the Lythia Continent Map and so on), the atlas scale (such as the labelled Atlas Maps available here, identified by grid references such as D9 and J5, and so on), the local scale (such as found in supplements such as Chyrefal Castle) and interior maps (which can be found in every location article). These maps are consistent, recording details such as the exterior and interior sizes of rooms, the locations of hidden and secret doors and traps, even floor and ceiling heights, in exactly the same way, with the precision of a professional draughtsman. This article allows you to interpret the maps, at every scale, across the entire Harnworld range.

The article can also be useful to any budding cartographer who wants to create detailed maps and diagrams for their own non-Harnworld settings, because they allow you to create consistent details applicable to any maps you design, whether for dungeons or for wilderness encounters.

Newcomers to Harnworld and Harnmaster might think that this is just another "gladiatorial arena" map and move on. However, this is not just any arena - this is the arena of the Pamesani Games in Shiran, the "City of Sins" in the Thardic Republic of Western Harn.

On its own, the map is useful to Gamemasters who could use it for gladiatorial games in their own settings; but this map is best used in conjunction with the Pamesani Games Harnworld supplement, and the Harnworld supplement City of Shiran, both of which can be purchased here separately. The Games supplement describes the culture of the Pamesani Games, and the city supplement puts the arena into its geographical context within the city and the greater Thardic Republic.

Other useful supplements include Republic of Tharda, for a detailed look at the Thardic Republic in which Shiran is based; the Ivashu Bestiary supplement, for a look at the beasts which fight in the arena (or Harnmaster Bestiary for a look at all the other beasts and monsters which can turn up); and Harnmaster Religion for a detailed look at both Agrik (whose Order of Pameshlu the Insatiable runs the Pamesani Games) and Ilvir (the god who dwells on Harn, and who spawns the Ivashu monsters which fight the gladiators.

Last, but by no means least, Harnmaster 3rd Edition - also available here on RPGNow - offers a detailed, ultrarealistic look at combat, in all its lethal glory, as well as character generation rules to allow you to create characters to fight in this arena.

However, if all you want is a quick, instant map of a gladiatorial arena for your own setting, this is one of the most detailed maps of its kind going. The beauty of this map is that you can use it for any system you like.

As with the whole Hârn-Line this is an outstanding product. If you love "reality" and detail in a low-fantasy setting - then this is your product. Even if you don't play HârnMaster or on Hârn itself it can easily adapted to your own setting. In any case this sampler is free so you have nothing to loose to give it a try - and if you get hooked on it like I did over 30 years ago then you realize you have found a treasure.

Good reading and happy gaming!
