Inferno - Quickstart

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Inferno is a role-playing game set in the world of Victorian fiction. A world where one might encounter the creations of Charles Dickens, Bram Stoker, Conan Doyle, Jules Verne or HG Wells. A world where Victorian engineers and scientists have achieved successes beyond their wildest imaginings, a world of steam planes, difference engines and intercontinental pneumatic train lines.

Inferno is a theatrical game played out on a grand stage. Characters are larger than life, villains are dastardly megalomaniacs, conspiracy is piled atop conspiracy and the fate of the world hangs by a thread.

Play as a member of the secretive Inferno club, and plunge into a Victorian world of conspiracy, magic, technology and power. Create extraordinary inventions, command spirits from beyond the veil, weave webs of influence, or thwart villains with pluck and courage. 

Four members of the inferno club

This Quickstart includes the basic rules, a set of four pre-generated protagonists and a complete scenario - 'The Threat from Above' in which the protagonists race to save Britian from an aerial menace with the fate of Europe hanging in the balance. The Quickstart is liberally illustrated with 19th century artwork.

Inferno uses an updated version of the Card of Fate system, originally seen in the classic UK indie RPGs Duty and Honour, and Beat to Quarters. Key features of the Card of Fate system are

  • Stake setting brings real drama to every challenge, be it social, skill or combat based
  • Group challenges place an emphasis on teamwork and collaboration
  • A focus on conflict, rather than task resolution keeps the action moving 
  • One core mechanic used across all tests
  • Discard your dice, and play with a pack of ordinary playing cards

The full version of Inferno is still in development. You can follow its progress on the Amazing Tales website and the InfernoRPG Patreon.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
