Adventure! is the third game in Trinity Universe (White Wolf), and the earliest chronologically, emulating the Golden Age pulp adventures. A single corebook was released in 2001, with a d20 version in 2004. A new edition, Trinity Continuum: Adventure!, was released in May 2023.In 1922, Doctor Calvin Hammersmith publicly demonstrated his Telluric Engine, a device capable of drawing energy from space-time itself. Something went wrong during the course of the demonstration, and the machine exploded, starting a fire that burned down the laboratory and killed Hammersmith.The explosion also unleashed a wave of strange energies through space-time, so-called "Z-rays", which, among other effects, granted certain people extraordinary abilities. The people so empowered became known as the Inspired.The year is now 1924 (1934 in the new edition). A new world has opened up for the Inspired, one stranger and wilder than they could have imagined, and they dive into it with gusto.A funding campaign for Trinity Continuum: Adventure! was held in 2021.

With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Averted. Due to the Doyen energy barrier, stalwarts will not become full-fledged novas, and therefore they won't succumb to Taint like they will in the Aberrant era.

Powerful and Helpless: As a result of being a Time Master, Max Mercer knows what the future has in store, and it's not pretty - but he's helpless to actually change it. If he does make a change that prevents the horrors of World War II or the Aberrant War, he'll just slip sideways into a better timeline without changing the future of his world one iota.

Obliviously Superpowered: The Daredevils' probability altering powers are done unconsciously and the results are subtle enough that most don't realise they're doing anything paranormal.

 Adventure (Tabletop Game) / int_697b5232
comment
Those Wacky Nazis: As of the reboot, Hindenburg is already senile and in his last days, allowing Hitler to consolidate power and begin the process of Jewish internment. Accordingly, while they don't make for an actual Allegiance of their own, there will be plenty of Nazi villains for our heroes to punch.

Time Master: Max Mercer. At this point in his life, he's still new to his power, figuring out how it works. Among other things, he can 'pause' time for a few seconds, temporarily accelerate himself relative to the 'normal' time flow, and jump through time to points of major telluric energy activity (such as the event that triggers Aberrant's Novas, the end of the Aberrant War, or Trinity's Venezuelan Phenomenon).

Shout-Out
 Adventure (Tabletop Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Among other things, the game mentions the de Winter family and a certain Dr. West, and features an appearance by Vlad Dracul himself. The founder of the International Detective Agency is implied to be Sherlock Holmes. In the description for the organization The Order of Murder there's a possible shout out to Miss Marple. The character Whitley Styles mentions coming across an apparent murder mystery that fooled even "the old lady who'd made a habit of poking her nose into strange crimes". And in the original advert for the game, there's a headline saying "Millionaire Cranston's plane crashes in Tibet". In the reboot, there's the Theseus Club and the Society of Minos in the Trinity Continuum core, both of which are tied to The Most Dangerous Game... as in, Rainsford actually founded the Theseus Club after learning about the Society from material in General Zaroff's belongings. Also in the reboot, Lucy Hebron's backstory has her impress Sherlock Holmes during one of his cases, and take a position as one of his irregulars.

Proto-Superhero: All three Inspired character types. Daredevils, mesmerists and stalwarts are pulp heroes and villains, and the latter two types are clearly more than human, but with the exception of the Big Three (Max Mercer, Saraswati Kaur and Doctor Primoris), they don't reach the godlike stature of later novas and psions.
