Base dice rolls used are D20.
The style system that new Emperors Choice products will be written in.
NOT supported Legacy Product
Arduin II
Compleat Arduin
Also known as the Compleat Arduin. This is the second edition of Arduin and the edition David A. Hargrave was writing before he passed. The daunting task of completing this work was done by Mark Schynert with the assistance of James Mathis and others.
This system came out in the 1990’s in two books that shared the same art work on the covers. It was reissued by Emperors Choice Games & Miniatures Corp. under the title Arduin II combining the two books for ease of use.
This systems used Dave Hargraves Battle Factor system. Base dice rolls are D100
This system is not going to be supported with new product.
This product line is OUT OF PRINT and will no longer be available or supported.
Arduin Eternal (AE)
Arduin III
Known as Arduin Eternal or simply AE.
Written by Monty St John (with some David A. Hargrave in there). Monty took off where David left off and created a very detailed system that lets anything happen within a detailed set of rule parameters.
It has a very deep culture, skill and magik systems to take character creation to an entirely new level.
Base dice rolls are D100
AE was an attempt by Emperors Choice to get a system out that detailed culture and world development to new heights. The system proved too difficult to play and has been taken out of print and forever gone in favor of the creation of the Arduin Bloody Arduin which is more similar to the Arduin I system and AD&D type system.
Currently Emperors Choice supports the Arduin I original game system; The Arduin I system uses a D20 for many of its mechanisms.
