Indiana Jones - The RPGs by TSR & West End Games
Editions: TSR ~ West End GamesBROWSE MY INDIANA JONES RPG ITEMS CURRENTLY IN STOCK
TSR
TSR released their Indiana Jones RPG in 1984, when the first two movies had been recently in theaters, and were big VHS video rentals.
The main set and modules that followed were flashy, and used the Indiana Jones IP very well. The rules have been criticized over the years for the lack of character creation rules. This was later corrected in the Judge's Survival Pack IJAC1, with a one page character creation summary. The rules are light for their time, fitting for a cinematic game like Indiana Jones. Similar to the rules from TSR's Conan RPG.

 Indiana Jones Adventures
WEG's Indiana Jones released under their MasterBook universal rules system, which did not prove to be popular. The simple D6 based rules used in WEG's Star Wars RPG had more staying power.
And here in Indiana Jones Adventures, West End Games agreed, providing rules for play under the D6 rules system, and conversion notes. And they tossed in some adventures too. A good buy.
ADVENTURES: The Carlisle Incident; On Ice; The City of Dreams; The Kweichow Exodus.
-Wayne
"Indiana Jones Adventures brings this world of action, archaeology, and mysticism to life. Based on the simple yet flexible D6 System rules, the game thrusts you into the pulse-pounding excitement of the movies in no seconds flat!

A solitaire adventure gets you into the game right away, and three multi-player adventures provide enough material to play for hours!"1996 ... 96 pages ... WEG 45009 ...

Each artifact's entry contains its description, value, last known location, history, and powers. In addition, the gamemaster will find a list of parties currently seeking the artifact, rumors and legends concerning its whereabouts, and adventure ideas for integrating it into a campaign..."1996 ...
