His most notable works were based upon his own mythical world of Arduin . ROLE PLAYING GAMES From the mid- 1970s through 1988 David A. Hargrave authored ten books based upon this Arduin game world. Hargrave also produced four Arduin Dungeon Modules and several fantasy item collections, which were published under the auspices of California-based Grimoire Games . Hargrave's work was well ahead of its time, and was perhaps the first "cross-genre" fantasy RPG , with everything from interstellar wars to horror and historical drama. His work was, however, based principally upon the traditional (and not so traditional) medieval fantasy genre. Arduin was one of the earliest challengers to TSR 's '' Dungeons And Dragons '', and a leading representative of the high-entropy, multiversal campaigns then prevalent in RPG circles. As a writer, Hargrave contributed to various magazines such as Different Worlds, Alarums and Excursions, and Abyss. As a game designer, he authored various Call Of Cthulhu adventures for Chaosium , Inc. and was an integral part of the design team for the sci-fi game Star Rovers , among others. Currently, many of the works of David A. Hargrave are available via Emperor's Choice Games and Miniatures (link is below). PUBLISHED WORKS
