RIP: N. Robin Crossby, creator of the Harn RPG

[thewayne]

Harn is among the games that I never got around to playing, but based on what is described in the article, I might have liked it. I'll have to give it a try if I ever stumble upon a campaign and get an opportunity. indisputably the game had/has a very loyal following, the Wikipedia entry for the game definitely sounds interesting: apparently the closest historic analog was that of Norman England, there is no alignment, he tried for internally logical consistency, and low levels of magic. Sounds interesting, maybe I'll look for a used copy of it when I'm out and about today.

Mr. Crossby, 54, passed away a few days ago of cancer.
