I downloaded the PDF files for inquisitor yesterday. checked them out a bit. decided I want to get into this game.
So before i go to my LGS to see if they play the game there, I wanna know more about it.

What's it like? How's it work? Is it basically a D&D-style game or is it completely different?
I just wanna know more about this game b4 I commit to it

My eldest son got into it far more than I did. It's a hybrid - a cross between RPG and TTG. IIRC, your figure declared its actions and intentions, then rolled a number of d6 and all 4+ meant the intended actions were successful. Then you moved the figure/resolved combat accordingly. Weapons and Damage and such were similar to D & D with things like "D6 +2" and range bands.

He and a bunch of friends enjoyed it, and played with both the large figs and 28mm. Sorry I don't recall much more.

If a lite RPG with miniatures set in the 40K universe appeals to you, then carry on and enjoy it. Good Luck.

Inquisitor is a miniature based game where each player controls just 3-4 models, and all involved work together to create a cool story while at the same time each attempting to achieve their own designated objective(s). It's usually played using larger models than 40k, but don't let that put you off - most 28mm terrain works perfectly well at 54mm, so you don't need to build a whole new set; and it's still a cheap game to get into - especially if you shop around places like eBay for models.

I'm also very fond of this description of the game from veteran player PrecinctOmega;
'Inquisitor is a wargame with the brakes off: a bare-back, white-knuckle ride that takes all the bits you like best about tabletop wargames (the rich context, the dark themes, the shock of conflict) and roleplay games (colourful individuals, the fate of the galaxy hanging by a thread, sudden changes of personal fortune in the time it takes to pull a trigger) and throws them into a single package. It's like a cooperative novel and a competitive action movie rolled up into one thing. It's wargaming for poets. It's falling to your knees in a sea of corpses, an empty stubber in one hand and a bloody chainsword in the other, screaming "If this is heresy, it feels SO GOOD!"'

If there's anything else I can help with, let me know - I've been playing for a few years now and have a pretty good collection of characters. I may also be able to point you in the direction of some players - we've got a list of players and their locations here;

They're mainly in the UK, but there's a chance there'll be someone in your area.
