Judgment
The Storm has passed and the Empire is weak. Beset from within and without, the heretics are growing at an unprecedented pace, no longer hiding from the sun. Witches, heresies, mutants and foul chaos monsters infest the lands of the once-great Empire. Necromancy and black magic has begun to erode the face of strength that the Empire has shown to the world. It can not be ignored any longer. The Emperor has made a decree… the Witch-Finder General, Magisters of the Colleges and Grand Theogonist can only agree, faced with a growing threat. Three years ago, Emperor Karl-Franz forms the Inquisition. Granted powers beyond those of land-holding gentry, beyond those of prosecutors and wardens, the Inquisitors are sworn to defend the Empire from the Enemy Within and Without. There are no more than fifty, no less than ten, their true numbers being a state secret. Formed of determined men and women, clergy, warriors, scholars, thieves, and wizards.
You are a member of the Imperial Inquisition either as one of the sworn Inquisitors or a member of an Inquisitor’s retinue. You are hardened, trained and dedicated to the cause. Your mandate is broad but simple: suffer not the witch, the heretic, or the mutant to live. Nobles quake with your passing, commoners cry as the door opens to your rosette, and the Enemy… they fight you at every turn.
((Basically, this is Dark Heresy-Ascension in the Warhammer world. Your player characters form the Inquisitor and his/her Retinue and scour the Empire seeking out corruption, evil and the supernatural. And burning it.
I would be using advanced characters for this, second career likely, and rules from Dark Heresy and Ascension. Specifically, Influence and Peer talents, along with reputation and some selected goodies so that you have a chance against some of the foes. In the lines of Ascension, you are no longer bungling adventurers but die-hard foes of evil… and they know it. Your opposition will be strong, lives will be brief, glories that will never be known, and scars both inside and out.))
I'm opening up recruitment for this game. I imagine a start date of January but figured since I'm still working on the specific chargen stuff and background posts might as well get everyone in and chatting about their ideas.
At this time, it's Mature but I expect an Adult rating may surface due to the nature of the game such as pyres, torture, blood and demon-stuff. So I have set the RTJ requirements as fulfilling Adult games.
(This would not be for reasons of smooching in dark corners of the intrawebz.)

Please note that I'm only looking for two/three people at this point. Not first-come, first-added although anyone passed over will be put on the replacement list. I expect character generation to take a bit of time since I want the group to discuss their characters and their focus, and I'll need to answer some questions about the game and how Influence, Requisitioning and such will work.
Anyone requesting the Inquisitor position would be best served by owning Ascension and being familiar with the WFRP setting. I can help out a bit but I can't be explaining everything on a regular basis.
Note: This game will not conform to canon or approved timelines.
