Introducing the Inquisition Player’s Guide:

The Macharian Sector is in peril. On all sides and from within, heretics, daemons 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 Ordos 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. This first half of an exciting two-book set for Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay: Imperium Maledictum, 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.

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?

  • Create Inquisitor Patrons from the Ordos Hereticus, Malleus, and Xenos, granting them powerful Boons and worrisome Liabilities.

  • 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 Subtlety 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 Player's Guide requires the Imperium Maledictum Core Rulebook to play.

THE MACHARIAN SECTOR BURNS; THE HERESIES MACHARIA ARE IN MOTION!

Inquisitor Lord Hieronymo Drake is dead. Much like the sector itself, the Macharian Inquisition is in disarray — but one Inquisitor has risen to the challenge of uniting them in Conclave. Beyond the countless heretics, daemonic influences and foul xenos lurks a threat that, left unchecked, could consume the whole sector. Can the conclave’s Inquisitors and acolytes put their shadow wars aside and work together to purge this threat before it threatens the entire Imperium?
