Inquisimunda or Inq28?

[Lysander83]

Hi,

I am new to the World of Inquisitor. I never played the game in the 90s becouse of the new size.
Now I like to start a campain as a gamemaster. I think about Inq28 with the classic rules. The 100-system is a great thing.
But now I see there is also Inquisimunda.

Could some of you explain a newbee why?

Inquisitor is great, wide open rules to build whatever character you want, but it is quite complicated and gameplay can get bogged down, especially if you want to field larger warbands. Necromunda (whether ORB, NCE or N17) is much simpler to play but obviously more limited as it's (mostly) just human gangs.

By combining the two into Inquisimunda, you can build the wider range of characters AND play with the simpler ruleset.

I was under the impression that Inq28 and Inquisimunda were two names for the same thing.

I think Inq28 Are The Classic Rules with 28mm.

Yep, Inq28 uses the full Inquisitor 54mm rules but halves all the measurements (or some use 1"=1cm which does a similar job)

With the introduction of Venator Gangs, intended to bridge the gap between Inq28 and N17, I think this might be well worth a try. A friend of mine builds a Venator Gang around his Inq28 Character to use her in Necromunda as well. May require some creativity regarding equipment (his Gangers all wear helmets, think motorcycle full visor helmet) but I think it works.

Maybe a little less crunch then some would like in here but was the precursor to the In Her Majesty's Name (Victorian Steampunk) game system by the same guys which has good reviews.

I have the rules all printed out but haven't gotten around to reading them in full yet.
