Lets try this again. Wondering if anybody is interested in playing in HarnWorld using Pathfinder 1e rules. Last time, I changed things around too much. This time, I'm going for HarnWorld with Pathfinder.
HarnWorld 3rd edition has you rolling to choose your race (Human, Elf, Dwarf, Orc, or other). However, I'll allow you to choose your race on your own. It is possible to play a lizard man, but they are incredibly rare on Harn.
On Harn, the most important piece of currency is the silver penny. HarnWorld (3rd edition) has prices for what you can spend on pages 24 and 25. Harn is also a feudal world.
Character Creation
You may choose either Human, Elf, Dwarf, Orc, or Other. Mostly humans can be chosen. Harn is mid-fantasy, with the magic of Harn being rare (it isn't magic low, it's magic rare). I'll be selecting one magic user for the party, so wizards and sorcerers are in competition. You may use only the Core Rulebook and Advanced Player's Guide to select your class. I'll say again, You're background is feudal. And you don't start with gold, you start with silver.
Starting Kingdom
We will start in Kaldor, since my Chybisa book is in storage. Kaldor is based on medieval England (well, Kinda). Paladins may join Larani's fighting orders, and so can fighters. Clerics may choose Larani or Peoni (although one can choose another god to worship, such as Agrik). Larani supports paladins.
You will need
A copy of HarnWorld (3rd edition, although I have an earlier edition), and possibly Kaldor. Both can be purchased on DriveThru.
Interest!
I'll see if I can scare up my copy...
Neat!
Low magic fantasy seems like it could b e fun. I don't own the Harn world books, but I do love buying new RPG books
I’ll see if I can scrounge up my books and see if I can come up with something.
Cool. Well, Harn is meant to be realistic. As it could exist.
Definitely interested. Will have to go get books.
Couple of questions.
How many characters will you be taking?
Character creation rules? Stat generation, etc. I did see the book restriction and I'm fine with that.
Traits?
I'm sure there's more but that's all I have for now.

A1. A posse of four is sufficient.
A2. 15 points. 2 traits. Level 1. You have silver pennies instead of gold.
seconding the questions on character guidelines. And, when you say 'one magic user', does that mean one across *all* classes capable of casting spells, even the non-full caster ones? Are clerics pooled against the wizard here too?
I meant 1 wizard or sorcerer. Does not include clerics, rangers, paladins, or other spell users related to the churches.
Sounds acceptable. ;)

** spoiler omitted **...
Looks good so far.
Oh, anyone else want to submit?
Alchemists are technically not an arcane caster in my book. Summoners are arcane casters, so are witches. Although only wizards and sorcerers can be recognized as part of the guild of arcane lore (thus Shek-Pvar).
More questions.... I was thinking about putting a cleric together, but not sure of details yet. You mentioned "Clerics may choose Larani or Peoni (although one can choose another god to worship, such as Agrik)."
According to the book of Kaldor, "Worship of Agrik, Morgath, and Naveh is punishable by death, often by grisly means." I'd like to avoid the grisly means of death from government officials? :-P
The question: I was thinking of Peoni since she is popular with commoners as the goddess of healing, agriculture, the poor, and lovers. But, do I just pick Domains/Sub-Domains that sound right? Or is there any official list?
And Starting money? Average (in Silver Pennies) starting for the class? If so, we won't be starting with much equipment. A buckler is 24d? CLUB/Mace 84d? Or is there a list for basic equipment for a 1st level whatever class?

Let me check. Hmm. . . Peoni's domains would be: Community, Charm, Good, Healing, and Plant.
And Starting money? Average (in Silver Pennies) starting for the class? If so, we won't be starting with much equipment. A buckler is 24d? CLUB/Mace 84d? Or is there a list for basic equipment for a 1st level whatever class?
Actually, most priests of Peoni are like the parish priests of Catholicism or Anglicism. They don't go on adventures. You're a special breed, so naturally they would equip you for your mission. You're primary mission is to spread the good of Peoni. They will equip you with a chain shirt, a mace, a mule, a prayer book, and some silver to help you on your way. You start out with 4d6 × 10d.
Seralaka of the Order of the Balm of Joy reporting to the recruitment. Still a bit of work to do on the CS. Skills, equipment, history, selected spells, etc.
Where in Kaldor will the game be starting? Input needed for character history.
According to the adventure scenario I got today, you will be starting in Qualdris.

Not bad. As a traveling priest(ess) of Peoni, at least you have a good start.
Is there a better equipment list anywhere online? The two pages I see in the HarnWorld 3 book aren't very good. I can't even find a backpack or belt pouch. And looks like I'd be naked without armor! A wool robe is 156d? I certainly can't afford a different colored one for each season!

How about Ducks? I think there are a race of bear people as well
I don't think Orcs/Goblins would be a good choice since Lorthim the Foulspawner and Gargun/Goblins are really on everyone's S-List

Looks like we will have to come up with a better equipment list. You have:
* one backpack.
* four changes of clothes.
* 1 mule
* mace
* Chain hauberk
* a prayer book
* And 4 items of your choice.

Probably. I believe that fun is important. So if you want to play an other race, we can talk about it. I don't remember reading about bear people in the HarnDex (but it's been a while). But Lythia is a big place.

Huh. Maybe they were in Runequest. They used clawed gauntlets. Hmm...
Yeah, they could be in Runequest.
No one else is interested?
Hmm.... 7 people initially posted interest. Was it the 15 point build that changed that?
Good. I'll set up the game, and perhaps more people will be interested then.
Looking at the other characters, looks like you could use some muscle.
I'll work up a Cavalier or Paladin.

Alrighty!
Cavalier starts out with x10=180 silver pennies.
Birthdate: and
Summer, Larane the eighth.
Kaldor Birthplace: Hjael.
Shortsword 90d
Breastplate 60d
Half-helm 20d
Dude, these HARN prices are ridiculous. The complete Kurbul armor set costs 290p. I can only afford the Breastplate and Half Helm.
Wait; is that equipment list eltonj quoted for Seralaka for everyone?
Or should I be using Pathfinder prices?

Yea, Harn prices are ridiculous. As a cavalier, you are a noble. So you can afford:
* One set of kurbal armor.* a war horse (probably a palfrey).
* Barding for said war horse.
* A saddle with saddle bags.
* A quill pen with ink
* twenty pages of parchment, for your journal.
Camris here. This is the crunch.
I'll work on a "thug" type rogue this week. Last two have been crazy. Should get the character up fairly soon, but need some time to re-emmerce myself into the Harn Setting.
Species - Human
Sex - Female
Birthdate - Kelen 12th
Birthplace - Shebra (Kaldor)
So it looks like a Female Human rogue of some sort from Shebra.
I'll put HeroLab to work soon.
OK, here is Manfred with crunch and Background/personality.
Should I post something on main, if so what?
An introduction should be fine.
