Title: Harp Bestiary?
Post by: Hobo on April 04, 2019, 11:04:18 AM

Anyone know if they are going to publish a Bestiary for HARP?
Any good advice or conversion documentation for AD&D to HARP?

Thanks!

They are working on a bestiary. There is a thread on the forum.

 http://www.ironcrown.com/ICEforums/index.php?topic=17406.0 (http://www.ironcrown.com/ICEforums/index.php?topic=17406.0)

There are a few D20 conversion documents in the downloads. I haven't looked at them in any detail, so I don't know how well they will help in converting monsters from AD&D.

Yeah I saw that thread but it looks like the last person who asked was back in July 2018 which there was no response to and the very last entry from the Mod was in August 2018 and had nothing to do with the Bestiary.

Plus I kinda through that in with my conversion question.

While it won't give you exact dates, going to the forum "ICE News and Discussion" and looking at the topics titled "Director's Briefing <month> <year>" will give you an idea of what's being worked on and has been worked on recently. It took me going back three months, but they seem to be working on at least four books right now.

Im interested in HARP but I wont buy yet because there is no Monster Manual type book yet.   I'll just hold off. What happened to Monsters : A Field Guide ?

Monsters: A Field Guide was from the older printing of HARP, ICE decided to do a more detailed Bestiary, which is part of why it's taking so long.

Don't lose hope, I waited around 2 years for the OblivAeon expansion of Sentinels of the Multiverse.

Ive read the blog and doesn't look like its being worked on in the last few months.   Did I miss where it said that?

Aside from your own post last month, there's nothing new for a solid 9 months. I'd personally consider it dead in the water.

Yeah, last place the Bestiary was specifically mentioned was in the December 2018 briefing. Don't know why I thought it was in one of this year's.
