''Arduin'' is a fictional universe and fantasy role-playing system created in the mid-1970s by David A. Hargrave. It was the first published "cross-genre" fantasy RPG, with everything from interstellar wars to horror and historical drama, although it was based primarily in the medieval fantasy genre. ==Brief history== ''Arduin'' was one of the earliest challengers to TSR's ''Dungeons & Dragons''. It began as a personal project Hargrave created to share with friends, but became so popular that he was inspired to publish the material.〔 The original ''Arduin'' suite of supplements, dungeon modules, and gaming aids were initially self-published, but were then later produced by Grimoire Games. Dragon Tree Press produced four further ''Arduin'' supplements before the ''Arduin'' rights and properties were purchased by Emperor's Choice Games and Miniatures. The ''Arduin'' books attempted to add many interesting and notable features to the fantasy role playing milieu. In addition to new rules, there were many classes, races, spells, and magic items that were new to role-playing gamers. While the original series of Grimoire supplements were intended as supplements for original Dungeons & Dragons, mention of D&D was prohibited legally. Although the ''Arduin'' books did not explicitly claim to be a ''Dungeons & Dragons'' supplement, they were treated as such by most users. As follows, there was contention in the RPG world that the ''Arduin'' system lacked cohesion. It was only with the publication of ''The Arduin Adventure'' that a true standalone system began to evolve, where other systems were not needed to adequately run a game. The later book 'The Arduin Adventure' was eventually written to replace use of the D&D core book. Material from all of these were subsequently used as the basis for 'The Compleat Arduin', a standalone system. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arduin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
