I really didn't know where to post this scroll; we need an area for "worlds other than the Realms" in CK 2.0, Sage.

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone knows whether or not the original Arduin Grimoire and its follow-up products are available legally in PDF format anywhere. They're so collectible that I don't even want to think about looking for DTEs...

Thanks!

If it's comparable in power with non-magical abilities, it's not magic.

I don't think so. In fact, the last I heard on this... was a lingering legal issue* that prevented most of the content from being converted to PDF.

...

* -- I'm not entirely sure about the specifics of the legal issue. Only that it was a major stumbling block in the case for electronic distribution.

Ugh. Well, thanks for the info anyway... hopefully we'll see this issue settled soon.

Update... I've since found and purchased the Arduin Trilogy hardcover at www.nobleknight.com; there's some FRPG gold in there, well worth the $40 cover price ($50 CDN after shipping).

Consider this issue resolved, but I'm still interested in PDF distribution if it ever happens, largely because it may be the only way to get the fourth and later volumes in this series.
