Hi. It is my intension to run a game of Inquisitor using the IC forum. This will vary in that players will not write in it but will declare their actions using PMs to me. I’ll them workout the outcome and update the IC thread.
This will run basically as a normal, tabletop game of =][=, the main difference being the lack of dice. Instead of rolling to determine what happens I will decide arbitrarily based on what is likely, what is dramatic and what is cool. This is mainly because the dice rolling was the domain of the player, the GM just decides what the modifiers are, which is effectively what I’m doing, if with more certainty. It also allows the characters stats to be qualitative, avoiding and issues arising from different power levels etc.
I’ll be using crude MS paint maps to supplement my descriptions of the area.
Play rate will be one characters turn per day. The speed and therefore order of the turns will be known in advance so players who don’t go on every day will know which days they are needed.
As this is an experimental run the scenario will be kept simple. The/both the/all of the warband(s) enter the catacombs of a disused temple to kill/capture/recruit the cult that operates from down there. I’ll work out a more detailed and interesting brief once any interest is shown and the warbands are worked out.
There are three way I can see of doing this.
Everyone could create their own character and give a description of their appearance, kit and ability including a qualitative measure of each stat (e.g. Ws: very good, an expert with an axe, Bs: passable, S moderate to good, keeps fit ….. etc.)
I could set out the warbands using models I have and they could be claimed by players. This would allow me to set up a board and embellish the text with pictures of what’s going on. This time I’d give the players the motivations and abilities of their characters.
Finally I could use my models but they could be temporarily prescribed new characters for the game. This way obviously would also allow photo’s
Ideally I’d want a player per character, with up to 6 players.

As Lord Inquisitor Ruth or otherwise and henchman


Inquisitor Rangavack or for a player created character this one
