Subtitle: A Player's Guide to HârnWorld
A mechanics-free overview of the Hârn setting, intended as a quick reference for players.
HârnPlayer is comprised of three parts. The first part, Hârnview, is an overview of the geography, politics, economics, law, religion, and history of Hârn. The second part is a Book of Common Knowledge, which covers the Hârnic legends and folklore known to most folk. the third part is a players' Hârnic Dictionary,l a comprehensive alphabetical reference which players can use to look things up on an ongoing basis.
The information provided is more than a typical player probably would know, but nothing that one should not know. No matter how much reading is done, players will still be ignorant of much that a medieval person would take for granted. A bit of extra knowledge of the world compensates in a small way and makes the game more interesting.
