Title: Running HARP again
Post by: gandalf970 on May 07, 2016, 07:52:12 PM
It's been about 4 years since I ran HARP.  I probably need to re purchase the books, what version and what supplements are current.  My campaign isn't for a few months , is there supplements and rules changes I should wait for?

HARP Fantasy
HARP College of Magics
HARP Martial Law

These are current version.
Key product upcoming - Bestiary (see the Director's Briefings for status)
Numerous other products coming along after that, but Bestiary is the most critical one.

What Thom said but in case you already have the books and want to ensure you have the latest editions.
For the core HARP Fantasy Check the 2nd page (Credits page) and look to see if the last copy write dates are as follows: HARP Fantasy 2011, College of Magics and Martial Law are both 2013. You can also look and see if there is a GCP logo in the bottom left of the front covers, if not you have the older books and will need the new ones.

Wow this stuff I have is old!  Mine are all dated 2003, so maybe it has been more than 4 years.  Well headed off to Onebookshelf to purchase some more books.

I thought I read that the Gamemasters Screen is good to go?

Yes it is. But good luck finding a print version for a cheap price. I did find one a long time ago on http://www.nobleknight.com/ (http://www.nobleknight.com/) but it was $40 and I don't see any HARP GM screens on there now.

Awesome!
I have one also that I do not use anymore because I do not use the HARP crit tables. I have my own combat system that uses the RM crit charts so there is no need for the full HARP GM screen.

Any chance you would share those or your system?

I will eventually. I may put it in for either a Guild Companion article or a Guild Adventurer. I have ideas for crit tables that do not use the RM ones but I have yet to get to work on it. My combat system works real good and one of my players has put it into his game as he got tired of the old HARP combat tables. I was working on a NDA to allow some people to play test it, but have since been really into working on my game. Well that and Steam. Steam is the devil.....so many games, so many games......

I will look to see what I have done and post a thread on it, hopefully by this weekend.

I do not have an NDA written out yet, I started to do it but never finished it. The NDA will work the same as the RMU NDA, if you download it you agree to the RMA. I will take a look at it tomorrow.

I can't find the NDA. I will have to query an ICE legal person on this.

FYI, I did an NDA and am awaiting the ICE legal team to approve (or disapprove) it. Once that is done I will post the files and what not in the locked thread. I think you will have to ask permission to view and post on that thread. So you can do that now but there is nothing posted yet.
