Articles and discussion on Roleplaying including Shadow World, Forgotten Realms.
So this time I want to cover two chapters of HARP Fantasy, Stats, Race and Culture.
The biggest difference here is that there are eight stats and they are on a scale of 1 to 105.
The rules give three options for generating stats, the first is roll eight d100 rolls and then assign them to the stats.… Read the rest
… Read the restThe first step when creating a HARP Fantasy character
is to choose a Profession. Much like a career, a Profession
reflects the focus your character has given to training and
development. A Profession also determines how difficult it can
be for you to learn certain skills.
This is our latest 50 in 50 adventure and it is a great one to GM. If you are into making noises and impressions there are some great animal noises to make.
