Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay: Imperium Maledictum

Inquisition Player's and GM Guide

The Macharian Sector is in peril. On all sides and from within, heretic, daemon and xenos threaten to destroy what the Emperor and his servant, Lord Solar Macharius, have built. As the Imperium’s forces take to the battlefield, it falls to the Holy Orders of the Inquisition to wage their own secretive war. Wielding ultimate authority, Inquisitors and their acolytes face corruption and damnation at every turn. They must be exacting and merciless in their vigil to survive and preserve the soul of the Imperium. Though the doom they seek to avert is inevitable, it might yet be delayed, and only the Inquisition can hope to stave off the darkness that threatens to consume the entire galaxy.

The Inquisition Guides bring the Holy Orders of the Emperor’s Inquisition to life at your gaming table. The Inquisition Player’s Guide lets you craft intimidating Inquisitors and their loyal acolytes and equip them with everything from ominous Daemon Weapons to loyal Psyber-Familiars. The Inquisition GM’s Guide gives you all the tools and content you need to craft unforgettable and perilous investigations for your players and their acolytes.

Prepare yourself well for the thankless task of facing the enemies of the Imperium, for every assignment might very well be your last. Should you survive, your only reward will be a litany of fresh horrors to face. But if not you, then who?

The Inquisition Player's Guide includes:

• Create Inquisitor Patrons from the Ordo Hereticus, Malleus, and Xenos, granting them powerful Boons and worrisome Liabilities.
• Create your acolyte and outfit them with a host of new wargear, from iconic Inquisition weaponry to subtle tools of espionage, as well as useful Skills, cunning Talents and devastating Psychic Powers.
• Learn about the Inquisition you are bound to serve, its presence in the Macharian Sector, and everything a fresh acolyte needs to know to survive long enough to be useful to their Inquisitor.
• Train your own Cyber- or Psyber-Familiars to aid you in your missions.
• Learn to wield your Inquisitor’s limitless authority well, as the Subtletly mechanic allows players to track and benefit from discreet and clever roleplaying.
• Additional Group, Individual and Long-Term Endeavours to aid players in their investigations and prepare them for their next mission.

The Inquisition GM's Guide includes:

• A deep dive into Inquisitorial Philosophies: how they can influence an Inquisitor’s decisions, shape their goals, and hook characters into further missions.
• A collection of GM advice for running Inquisition Investigations: tips on roleplaying characters, how to seed in clues, Chaos corruption and daemonic influence.
• Six sample Inquisitor Patrons with rich histories and motivations — any of them could be the perfect ally or secret enemy for your party.
• The Heresies Macharia Campaign — a decades-spanning adventure where players will travel all across the sector and face every kind of threat, all while rooting out deadly mysteries and corruption within the Inquisition itself.
• A roster of inquisitorial Contacts for players to interact with and a collection of deadly Sector Threats to seed into your campaigns — as driving antagonists or obstacles.
