Pilots' Almanac: Maritime & Piloting Rules

Agregar a la ista de deseados >

The vocation of pilot is a perfect career for roleplaying. It provides an excellent and natural rationale for travel, exploration, and adventure. With this module, it becomes possible for PCs to go to sea and follow a career as pilot, pirate, or maritime trader. Of course, the distinctions between these occupations may be academic, since many PCs will dabble in all three.

This module, a republishing of the 1988 classic, contains the following sections:

  • Pilot (16 pages): Pilots' Guild, vessel profile, piloting routine
  • Crew (10): Seamen's Guild, crew positions, crewing a vessel, life at sea, law at sea, crew list, crew routines, crew fatigue
  • Shipwright (12): Shipwrights' Guild, shipyards, ships (data on 12 types of ship), shipbuilding
  • Maritime Trade (6): Trade goods, maritime trade routine, buying and selling cargoes, longshore operations, port encounters, cargo manifest
  • Port Almanac (10): data on ports of Hârn, Ivinia, Shorkyne, and Trierzon.
  • Glossary of maritime terms (6)
  • Maps of Hârn, Ivinia, Shorkyne, and Trierzon regions

Although these rules are designed for HârnMaster, they can be easily converted to other systems. About all that will be necessary is to convert the HârnMaster skill system to your own system. Or convert to HârnMaster; you will not regret it.

This is too expensive. Many of the Harn pdfs are price high.
Harndex: A HarnWorld Reference and Glossary $49.99 172p
HarnManor $29.99 86p
Kingdom of Kanday $39.99 52pp

I recommend the HârnWorld Starter Kit.
Hardworld Master Module 3rd and Kingdom of Kaldor both for $9.99. Then if you want to build your collection you can shell out the $.

I just watched Trevor Devall on YouTube talking about “The Dwarven Kingdom of Azadmere” and the book looks fantastic. This is great stuff. I still won’t pay the price. Even with Trevor’s recommendation.

I played the printed copy and will say this: It does what a game supplement should do: Inspire adventures, characters even a campaign.
The price point of a pdf does seem high but it will be a money's worth. Im considering rebuying as a pdf as my printed copy is in rough shape.
The game includes rules for skills which leads to characters, it has sailing rules and also trading rules. Ship designs allow some flexibility in the type and size of ship.
For my own campaign I added a ship type as the rules are fairly simple.
I did find one "bug" that came up when trying to make deckplans. The formulae they use of Coeffeicent x length x width x depth is historic but was used for the cargo hold. the cargo area is a uniform shape. The point of the bow and curve of the stern are different and many ships have long angles shaping the sides rather than a uniform block shape. The original coeffecieint is the CoBlock while the overhead issue is the CoPrism.
So if you are going to make deckplans...See more

I have the original and I'm not quite sure what they are thinking at $40 for a pdf. The book is 30 years old! They seem to be going the Games Workshop model of pricing.

I don’t think it’s the age of the work. The information here is still valid and very useful and has aged gracefully. It’s the price that’s what I think it’s just too high.

Price might be little high but you should really support our troops!

Surely the price must be a mistake. You can buy hard copies for half this price.

No, of course it's not a mistake. This is Columbia Games, the patron saints of ludicrous pricing. Note that I have this in hard copy, and it's a great piece of work by the best duo Harn ever had -- the originator Crossby, and his main collaborator in the golden years, Tom Dalgleish. I recommend the content 100%, but this price is ridiculous. Forty dollars for a PDF supplement of super-specialized rules -- and I'd imagine that this is one of the items that they didn't even update at all; just a PDF conversion of the original electronic files from '92 or whenever, so there's not even any new content costs to recoup. What goes through their heads at this company?

According to the post on the HarnForum, the document has high res scans of the four full-size regional maps plus two new ship types in addition to the original product. Whether that is worth $40 (less discounts) or not is up to you as an individual. I'll be buying it... and I'll be getting a discount....

Pricing is the main thing that's kept me from getting me into HarnMaster. :/

The regional maps were part of the original package, and two new ship types is nothing. Anyway, to each his own. I've used the book many times, built and crewed ships and used them in Harn games, and I think this is one of the best items they ever published. And IMO they're charging double what they should, given the merchandise you can get here for $20.00 (including quality print plus PDF from established publishers).

Imagen escaneada
Estos productos se crearon escaneando una edición original impresa. La mayoría de los libros más antiguos están en este formato de imagen escaneada, ya sea porque nunca tuvieron un archivo original de diseño digital o porque el editor ya no lo tiene disponible.

Para crear las ediciones de descarga en PDF, cada página se ha procesado con un software de reconocimiento óptico de caracteres (OCR) para tratar de descifrar el texto impreso. El resultado se coloca de forma invisible debajo de la imagen de cada página escaneada para permitir búsquedas de texto. Sin embargo, es muy probable que los textos de libros que estén impresos sobre un fondo gráfico o en fuentes escritas a mano no sean reconocidos por el software OCR y, por tanto, no formen parte de los resultados de las búsquedas. Además, algunos libros más grandes pueden ser reorganizados para que se adapten al sistema y puede que no tengan ese fondo que permite búsquedas.

Para los libros impresos, hemos realizado escaneos de alta resolución de una copia física original del libro. Esencialmente, hemos remasterizado digitalmente el libro. Por desgracia, la calidad resultante en tales libros no es tan alta. Es el problema que tiene hacer una copia de una copia. El texto se puede leer, pero las ilustraciones empiezan a verse oscuras, pixeladas o carentes de tonos de gris. Las fotos pueden desarrollar patrones moiré. Especificamos claramente qué títulos impresos provienen de imágenes escaneadas de libros, para que puedas realizar una decisión de compra informada acerca de la calidad de lo que vas a recibir.

Formato original electrónico
Estos ebooks fueron creados a partir de los archivos originales de diseño digital y, por tanto, se pueden realizar búsquedas en todo su texto. Además, el tamaño de archivo tiende a ser más pequeño que el de los libros de imágenes escaneadas. LA mayoría de los libros más nuevos están en este formato. Tanto las versiones para descarga como para impresión de estos libros deberían tener una gran calidad.
