This is really the Year of Tears  :cry: Another great author leaves us. Harn was the first campaign setting I ever bought, back in 1987, because D&D had nothing and I could not afford AD&D products. Sigh... You will be not forgotten, your work was and is still great  :sunny:

A fateful year indeed.

And five months to go.

That is really sad. I've just been trawling the Harn forums where I also hang out from time to time and its hard to believe. We are losing so many greats this year. My deepest condolences to his friends and family.

The Harn system will always stand as one of the greatest contributions to the RPG movement. The Harnworld is so rich and real. It is a great place to lose oneself. Robin was another giant of the field in my mind. One of the legendary greats.

What is happening this year? The great RPG creators are all leaving us  :(

Must be a fantastic RPG session going on upstairs.

But hopefully all the seats at the table are full now, and they won't be needing any more players.
