Sep 24, 2009 - Pressing on with more Arduin Eternal release information, I've another small addition to the intro to the new game system and some shiny bits for you to gnaw on.  Arduin Eternal Preview 2.

Sep 21, 2009 - In a nutshell we would like to announce Arduin Eternal will be coming out as a 7x10 hardcover 828-page volume that is all inclusive.  The volume will contain the equivalent of a players manual and GM manual all in one.  Cost for the volume will be $74.95

Expected ship date is October 20 – possibly sooner depending on the quantities of pre-orders.  Due to the cost of the book we will not have a lot of stock on hand to fill non-preorders and these will be filled on a first come first serve basis.  We ask for your patience in this regard.

*** Special *** All pre-orders [preorder a book here] made on or before 10 October will be given a full “Culture” book free of charge once it is printed.  The Culture book will contain all the major cultures listed in the World Book of Khaas and will contain a short AE module title "War Master".  You can pre-order the Arduin Eternal book by using this link.  Please note the card you provide will be charged for the pre-order.

*** Special *** We project that the Culture Book will be printed at the same time, but certainly within one month of the release of AE.   If released separately EMPCHO will pay the shipping charges for the separate book.

*** Special *** Those who participated in the Arduin Eternal play test can order a special collector's edition volume.  This volume will be numbered with the same number given on the play test edition and signed by the author.  It will also contain material not in the normal AE book.  If you were a play tester and desire this special volume, send an email or have your group GM send an email identifying you and your group.  You'll be given instructions via email on how to order this book.  Email here

Aug 31, 2009 - For those who have waited for Arduin Eternal (AE), your patience is rewarded.  I expect pre-orders to open up any day and I know something special is waiting for those who do.   I'll leave it up to Dave Bukata to announce when it will be available for pre-order and sale but expect it soon (as in your kind of soon and not *our* kind of soon...).   Until then, I've put together a small intro to the new game system and some shiny bits for you to gnaw on.  Arduin Eternal Preview 1.

Feb 27, 2009 - Emperors Choice Games & Miniatures is happy to announce that the Arduin Eternal game system is currently on track for a May 2009 release date.

The Arduin Trilogy reprint in 7x10 Hardcover format signifies the last major re-do we will do on the old Arduin product lines. We will officially no longer produce any “new” product to support any of the old systems (Arduin Trilogy – Grimoire series (I); Arduin II (AKA: The Compleat Arduin); Arduin Adventure (basic- pre versions)).

We consider Arduin Eternal to be the third official rendition of Arduin and all of our focus for the next several months will be to get Arduin Eternal printed and ready for sale.

At this moment in time our plan is to release the Arduin Eternal game system and the Arduin Eternal Bestiary book at the same or nearly the same time. The next books on deck immediately are a conversion of the White Roc Inn to the AE system, World Book of Khaas converted to the 7x10 hardcover format, and 4 adventures are on the deck as well.

The art in the books will use form a variety of artists and sources. Our sculptor William A Watt did all the primary character race drawings and we think the art on these is rather amazing and motivating.

If time permits we will release some new miniatures with the Arduin Eternal release. Of those that are ready to go (well, in need of mold making etc) are the Octorilla, Giant skeletal bat riders, more skeletons.

Arduin Eternal will be mechanically unlike all previous versions of Arduin but will have a huge amount of the flair that made Arduin that forbidden fruit.  Examples will be provided over the next few months until release in May 2009.
