Welcome back to yet another prime number: it’s part 11 of my solo campaign on the Misty Ilse of Hâ.. wait a minute. We are on an island, but it’s not Hârn! It’s Chélemby, and just a stone’s throw away from Venârivè mainland. I was so looking forward to come here.

My wife is a forever-GM! She never really felt comfortable playing but loved to do the heavy lifting of being the GM, and she is by far the best I had the pleasure to play with. Due to her doctoral dissertation and work related overload, we played less than anticipated in recent years. That was mostly my motivation for playing solo … not to mention that there are several systems and/or settings my wife is not a big fan of.

Part ten of my solo campaign brings us to yet another Kingdom on Essryd’s and Moire’s Tour de Hârn. I really think that it was a missed opportunity to not get a little sourvenir in each town they went through. But hey … it’s an escape, not a school excursion.

Hallo and welcome back to the misadventures of our elastic duo. In the ninth part of my solo campaign, we find ourselves back on the Salt Route leaving Moleryn and heading towards Tashal in the Kingdom of Kaldor.

Welcome back to the eighth part of my HârnMaster solo campaign. After the last part, I decided to do a character sheet for Moire, because I thought that a second character would come in handy and balance out Essryd’s skills a little. With both now as the protagonists, I have a good mix of melee and ranged combat but also someone who is really good at survival, trecking and … cooking.

Things are escalating quickly in the Fiefdom of Nurien. Welcome back, dear reader! Today marks a very special episode of Essryd’s adventures on the Misty Ilse of Hârn. I always have a safety net below my characters when I do a solo campaign, and I always just let them perish when nothing else remains. This time I resorted to means so stange, I never did before.

Welcome back aboard the Nibelungen where we left Zane and Quk alone with a more than strange behaving Clara. And what does it mean that she is a prototype? Probably we will find out in this part of the adventure of the Scum of the Gateway Domain.

Raise your horns to Essryd as we approach part 6 of her adventures in the Kingdom of Rethem. After she decreased the maintenance costs for the household of Sigeric by executing his sorry excuse of a son, Essryd is now preparing her next step to get revenge.

Last time we had the chance to see how Clara fixed a business deal with a Vargr with ease. Quk has now everything to build the device Clara needs to shield herself from the Blacksand Widow Network. If you ask me, this can’t go wrong … right?

Greetings fellow roleplayers and Hârniacs! Welcome back to my solo campaign in the Kingdom of Rethem where we play Baroness Essryd, head of House Gehwær. I really start to love this little sociopath.
FYI, I implemented a little mechanic (call it houserule or whatever) where I keep track of a mental stability using the Mythic Chaos Factor of each scene. I multiply the chaos factor by three and use the resulting value to generate an EML value for WIL checks. If Essryd is in control of the situation and the chaos factor is low, she tends to get her act together, if the chaos factor is high, she easily gets into rage or tends to questionable behaviour.
