Sophia's Chybisa Page

On the banks of the Ulmerien River, halfway between Tashal and Thay, lies the Kingdom of Chybisa. Often neglected by GameMasters, this tiny kingdom is a rich source of opportunities for adventure and intrigue. Collected here, to share with you, are some of the things I've developed to support my game play there. If you like what you find, scroll down to the bottom of this page and tell others about it with the click of your mouse.

And some of the material on this site is my own invention. All of it is intended to share with you on a non-commerical basis. I'll be flattered if you borrow from my stuff to use it non-commerically. If you attempt to profit from it, I'll be disappointed and angry. If you attempt to profit from the use of the material provided by Columbia Games, you may have to deal with a bit more than their disappointment.

"Naturally, once a gamemaster has begun to use Harn, he will develop his own personal version, chopping, adding, and changing as he sees fit. This is one of he great joys of gamemastering; the one process that makes all worlds unique and is to be encouraged. Harn is not sacred. Our feelings will not be hurt if someone buys Harn and uses only 10% of it."

(from the Introduction to the 1983 edition of HarnView)

By design, Columbia Games publishes its H�rnic material with many of the details left to the GM's imagination. By carefully fleshing out the details to suit his own version of H�rn, the GM can easily segue from the published material to material of his own invention to support a particular adventure or campaign. Some H�rnic purists call this invented material "canon" if it conforms in its entirety to the canon of material published by Columbia Games. While all of the material on this site fits into and meshes with the material published by Columbia Games, some of it (such as the location of a Peonian Temple near Burzyn) has been invented 'whole cloth' and is non-canon.

There is a game now in play but there are currently no openings for new players. Follow the links below if you would like to "eavesdrop" on the game as the story develops.

Peoni's Tear: This campaign began in late January 2002. The story begins as a quest to recover a religious artifact stolen from a remote village of southwestern Chybisa. Before it is over, those engaged in the search will discover themselves involved in centuries-old conflicts. This link will take you to the site where we re-tell the story as it unfolds.

Instead of being redundant and listing them all, I'll just refer you to the best ones. They each have their own links pages which will take you as far as you want to go.

	There is no better place to start than with the people that started it all. This link will take you to the web site of Columbia Games. It is much more than an on-line catalog - take time to explore the site and you'll get a fanastic overview of H�rn and a wide range of related products.
	H�rn's creator has turned his attention and creative genius to new horizons - the continent of Lythia. Already available is Ev�nekin, a location module describing the homeport of the planet's most advanced navy, as well as Robin's special RPG rulesets, H�rnMaster Gold.
	Medieval societies were rural agrarian societies. At his Penultimate H�rn Page Andy Staples shares some of the fruits of his research into life on the medieval farm.
	The published H�rn material is so rich in detail, and so realistic, that it just begs to be analyzed, evaluated, and explored to even greater depths. If you're one of those folks that likes to sift through the facts and figures, stop by Jeremy Baker's site and see what he has for you.
	Ready to put aside fantasy and set your roleplaying campaigns in an actual historical setting? Start with a visit to Aedificium where Christopher Golden shares with you the work he has done on setting his campaigns in 12th Century England.
	Peter Leitch's "Portal to H�rnWorld" is a wonderful introduction to H�rn for newcomers, as well as a growing collection of extremely well done articles and play aids. Peter also maintains H�rnForum, the meeting place of on-line H�rniacs.
	Bill Gant's popular and comprehensive list of H�rnic links.
