IBGAMES GALLERY: AGE OF ADVENTURE PICTURES
INTRODUCTION AND CHARACTERS
Age of Adventurer was a game set in the Victorian age of exporation and discovery. Players explored the globe, undertaking quests and solving puzzles. Here are a selection of introductory picture, starting with the masthead used on all the Age web pages.
The game was a role-playing game where players created an avator and selected a nationality, profession, skills and so on to use on the quests. We came up with a typical party of explorers which we used in many of the pictures for the game. Here are their portraits.
Sir Everard Creighton-Ward, an aristocratic gentleman with an insatiable curiosity for ferreting out puzzles. |

 |
| Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward, his grand-daughter - not as delicate as she looks, and well able to endure the rigours of a quest. |  |
 |
| Harold Carstairs Esq, the family butler, an expert at producing a little bit of civilization in the midst of the harshest of conditions. |  |
 |
| Michigan Smith, the leader of the party, an explorer of some reknown. |  |
 |
| Professor Patience Watson, the Curator of the Curios and Alien Objects Department at the Imperial Institute |  |
