But dont let that fool you as everything in this book is valid for all game systems with minor to no tweaking. If you need inspiration, ideas, treasures, creatures, the law, gangs, outlaws, if you can think it is probably in here!

See what Jonathan Tweet (from D&D) has to say about Arduin: "The Arduin Grimoire, the coolest RPG book ever"

http://www.jonathantweet.com/jotgamearduin.html



These are the books that started it all. These books inspired nearly ALL RPG games, authors and fans alike.

Let your imagination set wild and come back to the old Arduin Grimoire series to re-inspire you from old or create inspiration of new! There will certainly be something of value in these Grimoires for all. New rules, monsters, items, spells, character classes, races and more… all from the World of Arduin, for use in any and ALL role playing game systems - past present and future!

A must have, for any serious RPG player!

Please note that all Classic Arduin products were written in the 1970's and 1980's and are presented here in their original unchanged format, but have been reorganized into a more cohesive grouping of topics since it was originally spanning several volumes.


Please accept our apologies that the page numbers werre not present. This file should fix that problem. in addition we changed the cover to a more parchment feel so you know you have a different file. We also added the front and back covers at the back of teh book from the first 3 grimoires. Note this does not include the original Arduin Grimoire Volume I cover or the "nude" cover but rather the last cover that was in production.

Browsing the preview, I didn't see any character creation chapter. It used to be chapter 2 in the Compleat edition, but where is it here? In the table of contents I see "new races" and "new classes", but where are the classics?
Is this even complete?
I'd like to get back into Arduin, but I wonder if this compilation will actually be useful.

That's the way it originally came. It was just assumed you would use the D&D character creation rules.

There are still problems with this file. I actually got 2 files: 2DT-Arduin_Trilogy and Arduin_Trilogy_01-2023.

2DT-Arduin_Trilogy comes with a color cover. Page numbers are present. Page 567, 569 and 570 are still unreadable (for example: "Qtbaracter $5,ocial iz,tatus, JLegacp anb �kills rules!").

Arduin_Trilogy_01-2023 is the version without a cover and some adittional maps. Page numbers are also present but printed twice on every page.

Please fix this issue.

Hi Jeremy,
Hopefully this new update this morning on 03/17/2022 will work. Page #1 actually starts on page #22 since that is where the real meat of the book begins. Please let us know if the issue is fixed. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Great compilation, but I don't see page numbers anywhere on the page? Makes it a bit difficult to use the table of contents, especially given the book's thickness. Could you please upload the version with page numbers?

The EmpCho blog is dead, the website has not been updated in years, and I emailed the company a long time ago with no reply... so I have to wonder who is posting new PDFs?!? I've been desperate to buy stuff from their online store but I don't trust my money won't just disappear as others claimed happened to them years ago.

Thanks! The website is definitely new. I hope I didn't just toss $70 into the wind :) I've been trying to complete my collection for YEARS checking eBay pretty much daily.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
