Subject: To the "Old timers": Harlequin question...
Date: Thu Jun 14 00:05:05 2001
The first time the world was introduced to Harlequin was in the
multi-adventure module "Harlequin". Him and Erhan the Scribe faced off in a
long-running battle that involved the runners. I ran the adventures over a 2
year period, but that was seven to eight years ago and I was borrowing the
book to run it.

Fast forward to today...

After trying several times to find a copy (old game stores and eBay), I
come to all of you who may have "Harlequin" for help. I am setting up
something similar, but it is based around the Tir Tairngare Prince Jenna Ni'
Fairra and Nadja Daviar (yes, we are playing with fire here). I remember
some of the basic, but I need help for the following:

The names of the "challenge steps". I remember "Love",
"Hate", "Past" and
"Future". I do not remember all the names. If you could give me the names,
it would jar my memory.

Also, the names of the types of challenges. One was to the death and the
other was not.

Thanks in advance!
-John

PS - If someone out there has a copy of "Harlequin" or knows where I can
get one, please drop me a line.

The parts of the Harlequin adventure in order:
Physical, Hates, Past, Loves, Counterstroke, Spiritual, Future, Present

The ritual is called Chal'han. Counterstroke isn't part of the ritual, but
its in there for completeness.

I had Harlequin's Back, but I just gave that to my brother a week ago cause I never got
around to running it and he's better and doing those prepackaged kind of campaigns. If you
want I can ask him if it's okay to give you his mailing address though and you can talk to
him about getting it. I know it's not the one you're looking for but I'd imagine it would
be a good next best thing...

...and if that same someone has more than one copy, let me know, too!
