About the adventure
Dragonbane - A great ruleset, that gives you everything you need to play a gritty and immersive setting like Harnworld. with all the flexibility you need to create richly detailed characters that feel like they would inhabit a medieval world. Harn - an earthy early medieval setting loosely based on 11th Century England, but steeped in fantasy elements. Many of a very unique nature. This mixture of familiar and unfamiliar provides a great environment for player characters to explore, as they discover more about the world they live in as the players themselves do the same. . MORE ABOUT THE SETTING: Harnworld is a role-playing game campaign set on the fictional planet Kethira, and focussed mainly on Hârn, an island about three times the size of Great Britain, as well as Lythia, the world's largest continent. Broadly based on Norman England, it is a ‘historical’ low-fantasy setting with magic and mythical creatures. In this campaign, you will begin in the Feudal region of Kaldor: Kaldor is a land-locked feudal kingdom in eastern Hârn. Since its founding more than 500 years ago, external threats have been minimal but internal strife has been common. The current dynasty, Clan Elendsa, has sought to uphold the traditional principles of feudalism, chivalry, and royal justice. King Miginath Elendsa is popular with the common people because he has kept the kingdom prosperous and at peace. King Miginath is in poor health and has never married, leaving the succession a matter of contention between three bastard sons and a score of nieces and nephews. Intermarriage with other noble clans and the granting of royal offices in exchange for concessions has created a complicated web of alliances that may discourage a civil war when the king dies. While he lives, the factions plot and scheme for advantages. MORE ABOUT THE RULE-SET: With the BRP engine in its DNA [behind classic games such as Call of Cthulhu and Runequest] , this is a simplified D20 roll under skill based system, with both mundane and heroic skills. thematic magic, and dangerous and fluid combat. combat is fast and engaging [itdoes not leave you waiting for 20+ minutes until your next turn]. WHY BOTH? Harn is a richly detailed world with plenty of stories to explore, Dragonbane provides a great ruleset that will allow players to progress through a great story without getting bogged down in overlong and laborious combat encounters. quickly able to move from one encounter to the next, with plenty of rules to cover roleplay and survival gameplay [as it suits the group]. If you want your game to be arich tapestry of storytelling, memorable encounters and an evolving story and world, this might be the right game to explore.

About me
Hi, I’m Elwood, a veteran RPG player and GM. I have always seen my role as a GM is to keep all my players (entertained and engaged. I have plenty of experience dealing with players entirely new to the hobby, so, you will be in a safe pair of hands if you are just starting out with ttrpg’s or if you have just simply never played any of the games I offer before. [don’t worry, I’ll have you up and running in no time]. I like to add personality to all my characters, both as a player and a GM. I love storytelling. I am also trained in acting, so I like to think my delivery is pretty good. I’m a friendly, easy going GM, who will play fast and loose with rules if that’s what makes the game fun for my players [does not mean I’ll always go easy on you, play your character like a fool, and I will let them die]. Very comfortable running long term sprawling sand box campaigns. But I will happily run one-shots and mini campaigns as well. I offer: Runequest Roleplaying in Glorantha [RQG], Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play, Call of Cthulhu [7th ed] Pendragon 6th Edition Dragonbane DUNE : Adventures in the Imperium [Modiphius] Stormbringer [BRP] [AKA: Elric! , Magic World] Basic Roleplaying [BRP] Star Wars D6 [WEST END GAMES] The Troubleshooters Traveller Harn, Harnworld [though not actually using Harnmaster system] Symbaroum And more…. I am willing and able to custom-build a campaign of any genre, any multi-genre, or genre-bending concept you have in mind. Whether inspired by film, tv, literature or by some weird dream you had the other night. I would typically make this using either a stable ruleset-toolkit namely BRP [Basic Roleplaying, used for Call of Cthulhu amongst others] I look forward to meeting new players [old or young] and have some fun adventures together. “When it comes to tabletop role-playing games, If you are having fun, you are winning”

Creating your character
Character creation can be done in session, and even, to an extent, during play. Yes, that’s what I said, you don’t have to make all your character choices beforehand. You can leave some areas undecided, filling things out as you get a feel for who and what you want your character to be.
Using the Dragonbane rules to play in the Harn Setting Every Friday.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
This is a learn to play, so feel free to show up knowing nothing at all. That being said, If you have access to the rules, and can read through the character creation process, you will be off to a great start. You will need a free roll20 account [for the VTT], and a free discord account [for voice/video]
What Elwood brings to the table
I will provide the Dragonbane core rules, a suitable adventure [with maps and handouts provided as needed]. Character sheets on Roll20 Interactive Maps Setting books for Kaldor and Harn. Adding more as we go. Plenty of experience as a GM [ I mean decades] I take a friendly and easygoing approach to running games, because every player at the table is here to have fun.
