The World of Indiana Jones is a role-playing game published by West End Games, based on the Indiana Jones franchise.[1] West End Games acquired the rights to publish an Indiana Jones role-playing game ten years after the publication of TSR's The Adventures of Indiana Jones Role-Playing Game (1984).

History

A role-playing game based on the Indiana Jones movies was produced by West End Games (WEG) in 1994, called The World of Indiana Jones. It was designed by Brian Sean Perry and was offered in a boxed set, and several adventure modules were written for it. Two sets of pewter miniatures were marketed for use with the game.

Setting

The setting of the game is historical, 1930's pulp era. Players can choose to set aspects of the game at any point in the mid-to-late 1930s. Some adventure packs establish a particular timeline, while others are left to the player's discretion.
