Game Setting
The game is set in the 1920s and therefore at the origin of the Aeon Universe timeline.
The release of unknown Telluric energy has led to the appearance of a number of particularly gifted characters, whose actions have now the potential for shaping the future history of the world.
The Aeon Society for Gentlemen, founded by philantropist Maxwell Mercer, is trying to bring together as many "Inspired" characters as possible, supporting and coordinating them in their effort for the betterment of all of humanity.
But darkness lurks, and Mercer's champions will have to face it in the most unlikely locales.
There are three "races/classes" for players to choose from:
Daredevils, whose only "powers" revolve around luck & incredible skill.
Mesmerists, the precursors to Trinty's Psions & masters of the powers of the mind.
Stalwarts, the "ancestors" of Aberrant's Novas & capable of superhuman feats.
Game System
Set to emulate the exploits of saturday matinees serials and pulp magazine action, Adventure! uses a very loose and flexible variant of the White Wolf proprietary Storyteller System. A number of game tweaks have been added to the system to allow both the over-the-top action and the plot twists of the pulps.
In this sense, Adventure! has been the first game in which rules included extensive and consistent means through which the players could take control - if briefly - of the story narrated by the keeper.
