shadowcat1313 Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 has anybody ever looked at converting the Arduin Grimoire to Fantasy Hero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger3k Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 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).

shadowcat1313 Posted November 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gewing Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 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.

lemming Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Originally posted by gewing 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.)

Xiawarr Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Re: Converting the Arduin Grimoire to Fantasy Hero bump... 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.

KingHob Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 Re: Converting the Arduin Grimoire to Fantasy Hero 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teflon Billy Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Re: Converting the Arduin Grimoire to Fantasy Hero 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?

If you could, I'd love to have to have that emailed to lemming@quirkyqatz.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Re: Converting the Arduin Grimoire to Fantasy Hero Just curious whether this project ever came about. I have an old Arduin fan/ recent HERO convert who'd be very interested in seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan59 Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Re: Converting the Arduin Grimoire to Fantasy Hero Same. I would really like to see these. I have always loved Arduin. Really enjoyed the article Hargrave did for Different Worlds. Tis a pity the man is dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywyll Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Re: Converting the Arduin Grimoire to Fantasy Hero yeah, what's the deal on the Arduin conversion? Has it been posted anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgaptte Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Re: Converting the Arduin Grimoire to Fantasy Hero Yep, count me as interested too! Thanks Lemming. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teflon Billy Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Re: Converting the Arduin Grimoire to Fantasy Hero I talked to Lemming and gave me the go ahead to post the files myself. I had to split the four files up into two zip files for the boards to allow me to upload them for some reason, so you will need to download both of them. Here you go, TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
