Description
Interbellum takes place in an era still haunted by a catastrophe that reshaped the modern world: the four-year conflict known as the Great War. What began in the heart of Europe soon engulfed much of the globe, leaving behind shattered nations, collapsed empires, and millions of dead. Although the guns have fallen silent, the war’s consequences continue to define the age. Cities bear the marks of destruction, economies struggle to recover, and entire generations carry the physical and psychological wounds of a conflict unlike any that came before. Beneath this uneasy peace, another truth is hidden from most of humanity: the supernatural is real. Ancient powers, forgotten gods, occult traditions, and things that should not be linger in the shadows of the modern world.
Interbellum is a game of adventure, mystery, and intrigue, where pulp action exists alongside historical realism and cosmic horror. Stories range from archaeological expeditions and espionage operations to treasure hunts, occult investigations, political conspiracies, and encounters with forces beyond human understanding. Characters must find a way to survive in a world of competing ideologies, colonial ambitions, economic instability, and the lingering trauma of war. While governments, secret societies, criminal organizations, and revolutionary movements struggle for influence, ancient powers pursue agendas that stretch back centuries, or beyond human history altogether.
The world of Interbellum is neither wholly heroic nor entirely cynical. Players may portray explorers, investigators, journalists, aviators, adventurers, scholars, revolutionaries, mercenaries, criminals, occultists, or any number of individuals drawn into extraordinary events. Some fight for justice, truth, or national ideals. Others seek wealth, power, forbidden knowledge, or simply a way to survive in uncertain times. Many find themselves somewhere in between. Thus, the setting allows for morally ambiguous protagonists – just like its predecessor, Wretched Interbellum – but also traditional pulp heroes.
