That's exactly where it came from. I found out about the Harnmaster supplement a couple years after I had placed a playtest version up on the web for comment. A bit unfortunate, agreed, but at that point I wasn't going to change the name since the name was carrying a big chunk of the premise (as well as being related to the names of the Stats: Nasty. Brute. Grok (most orcs are a bit short on Grok)).

The game sounds fun, though, in a Toon-like way.

Thanks! I certainly think it is, and the folks who play it seem to like it. I've actually never played Toon, so I have no comparison there; I
would say it has a Paranoia-like vibe to it.
