HârnTown
September 3, 2008
An adjunct to HârnManor, this 4pp PDF deals with the development of a town in the same way that HârnManor deals with the development of a manor. Written by the same author that brought you IviniaThran, HârnTown is a useful tool for the GM to create a town that are believable and fairly consistent. Like that article, this one was also on HarnMaster.net and has been formatted anew.

An adjunct to HârnManor, IviniaThran allows the GM to develop a thran in the lands where the Ivinian culture dominates, including Orbaal, Harbaal, and perhaps even the more remote, more conservative areas of Chelemby. Throughout the article, a worked example is given, guiding the GM through some of the more escoteric parts. This example is included in an Excel spreadsheet, which GMs can use to work their own creations. Written by the same author who brought you HârnTown, and once on HârnMaster.net, the article has been reformatted for life on Lythia.com, although the text hasn’t changed in any important way.

September 2, 2008
HârnSettlement seeks to take the concepts pioneered by the many manor generators, in particular ‘newmanor’ by Rebecca Downey and extend them to build towns as well as manors. This spreadsheet will treat settlements without a keep or castle broadly as in HârnManor, but the presence of a keep or castle will lead it to produce a ‘Town’ (or urban) population to supplement the usual ‘Manorial’ (rural) population. Some of ‘Hârntown’ by Johnathan Nicholas has been used as the basis of the ‘town’ components, though the proportion of urban households is based on the original canon proportions and no distinction is drawn between inland and coastal towns. This spreadsheet also doesn’t deal any differently with Orbaalese settlements (unlike ‘Hârntown’).

Here are three useful tools that GM’s can use for their own campaigns. One is a Campaign Journal Page (.doc) and the other is a Hârnic Settlement Description (.doc). Each is one page black and white and designed to be photocopied. Of course, if the form is downloaded to your drive you could also type up your notes on the form and print them out or save them in electronic form. Another utility is the Hârnic Settlement Generator (.xls). This is not intended to be HârnManor or HârnTown. It is a pencil and paper tool for the GM to answer PC questions when they arrive in a town or village that is undeveloped.
