It's so great to find someone with a like-minded perspective towards RPG gameplay.<br /><br />I had been involved with GW games since the mid-nineties but was always more interested in telling stories with smaller bands of miniatures than massive battles. <br /><br />I had just left home when Inquisitor was released and was instantly hooked because it had everything I was looking for in a game. The mechanics were a little clunky but easily smoothed over with the Rule of Cool and Story is King ethos. In the beginning though, in the games in-store, we had plenty of power-gaming dicks trying to 'win' and a less-than-competent GM with no campaign ideas which ruined the party for the rest of us. However, as the chaff lost interest and moved back to the games that are meant to be competitive, the last of us closed ranks and actually ran a pretty decent and enjoyable story.<br /><br />Personally I love the idea of a pen-and-paper RPG having a free-form character design alongside an event-based earning XP framework. I think such a game could be spectacular!<br /><br />You've got another blog watcher.Gretchinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749813427652886687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556965477270279581.post-6294236114114816032018-08-24T14:32:50.335-07:002018-08-24T14:32:50.335-07:00...argh...I pressed publish by accident because of......argh...I pressed publish by accident because of my big thumbs...<br /><br />Add: I do agree with you that Inquisitor is a real gem of a wargame. A sandbox that leads into a completely new and undiscovered realm of storytelling games with miniatures.<br /><br />Only the (at that time very expensive and difficult to get) scale was something I did not like at all-even though the conversions Ive seen are bloody brilliant! And on a second thought, it also lacked a steadier supply on background material.Fincas Khalmorilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469913489848318191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556965477270279581.post-91589367007469102342018-08-24T14:29:38.654-07:002018-08-24T14:29:38.654-07:00Really interesting thoughts.

Some of their earlier works, like the original Realms of Chaos books, got some of the same world-building scope, but nothing like the gameplay.<br /><br />There's actually a pretty cool community (INQ28) that's grown up around the concepts of Inquisitor, but using more common 28mm Models rather than the unwieldy 54mm Models Inquisitor was conceived for. There's been some really excellent stuff coming out of those groups.WestRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10221228665636182019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556965477270279581.post-3438253092455983492018-05-20T17:50:47.739-07:002018-05-20T17:50:47.739-07:00love that top picture of a rat acing the half huma...love that top picture of a rat acing the half human half tree voodoo gimp.

We kinda used traditional character advancement, but since our PC was a magic-user and magic-users got their magic from pacts with demons and devils, the real power came from politics and interpersonal interactions. It was fucking awesome.trollsmythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895349218958093151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556965477270279581.post-19985800847652077442018-05-18T07:14:06.170-07:002018-05-18T07:14:06.170-07:00I was also super into GW stuff around that age, In...I was also super into GW stuff around that age, Inquisitor must have passed me by but it sounds awesome.<br /><br />As for Character Advancement Through In-World Stuff Only, I'm doing that for my current game, and the setting I'm writing up. There are vampires and it's super tempting to get bit because it's one of the only ways to get magic. It's so much fun!<br /><br />That kind of advancement is one of the best things about RPGs anyway. Got no time for a level system tbhD. G.
