Harnmanor PDF on sale for 99 cents!

Back when I started out playing RPGs in 1978, I appreciated Traveller's trade rules. It got a lot done with a simple and elegant design.It had details but not a overwhelming number of them. And it felt right for what it was trying to emulate.

By the mid 80s, I was using Judges Guild Wilderlands and I was wishing for to add details for running estates as several PCs had their own demense in the campaign I was running.

Then came along Harnmanor. Which like the Traveller Trade rules had details about running a medieval manor but presented them in a simple and elegant design. The best part of the mechanics isn't the rules for figuring out the income and budget of the manor, but what happens to the estate and the tenants over the years. It very good at creating challenges that bring running a manor to life.

So right now Columbia Games is having a sale on Harn stuff on DriveThruRPG and Harnmanor is on sale for 99 cents. Even if you don't use the mechanics it packed with information on the details of medieval manor and those who live there. It also include four different manors fleshed out in detail.
