Converting the Arduin Grimoire to Fantasy Hero

[shadowcat1313]

has anybody ever looked at converting the Arduin Grimoire to Fantasy Hero?

[badger3k]

Just wanted to post a quick reply - yet another game with some ideas that I liked that I might try! Aargh - have the first the books (original copies), and I might actually have some notes on that. I'll add more if I can dig them out (I think I did some work on races and magic - liked the deodanths a lot for some reason, and the star-powered mage).

I always like the variety of magic items, and monsters, the dragons and demons were really more interesting than those in D&D and a lot nastier

and there were some wonderful spells too

I agree COMPLETELY! Unfortunately I have been unable to find my original rules for years. Probably still in boxes from when I moved 10 years ago.

There were some updated ones done. I picked them up for $10 for the two volumes.

Sam Bell wrote up a version called Arduin Hero. I played in the 1.0 version. Lot's of fun. He had a 2.1 version mostly worked out when he died.
I've got the framemaker files, but haven't done the conversion. Another friend did convert them over to HTML, but I don't want to slam the host computer. (I'll see what I can do to get these available.)

Lemming, I'd be interested in seeing Arduin Hero. I never really learned straight AD&D 1st, my original gaming group always used the Arduin Grimoires with our D&D!

Of course, then I discovered Champions...been hooked ever since.

Doh! It's now on my official things to do this week.

If some one is willing to put the web content together, I have some free web space that could be used for it. Seeing as how I am not using it for anything I would be more than happy to post the pages and drop a link here.

The files are available. I downloaded them right after reading this thread when it was first posted.

I've upgraded them to Framemaker 7.0 and made a PDF set of them.

The chapter headings say 2.1 (except for one which says 2.0.2). So I assume they are the v2.1 that Lemming spoke of.

Do you want the zip-file of the PDFs?

Coolness. Saves me work. If you could, I'd love to have to have that emailed to lemming@quirkyqatz.com

Is there a place I can download that from too?

Now that I've got plenty of web space, I'll set something up this week. Thanks Teflon Billy for doing that conversion, looks great.

Sorry, got caught up in getting some other web stuff done. However, I'll be transferring stuff over tonight. I'll post the link then.
