Here is a big load of info Modiphius posted on the official forum:
Hi guys just wanted to say we have an amazing welcome at Interplanetary. Two local GM's were hosting a lot of people trying the Infinity RPG and I ran about 8 short 2 hour sessions to give as many people as possible a taste for what is to come. In fact we had 8 players in one game - now that was crazy! The highlight for me was running a game for Carlos, Alberto, Gutier and Fernando, some of the founders of Corvus Belli!

A few facts then to help out!

- Originally we were doing a pre-order and then a Kickstarter, but with the delay to spend more time on development we decided to just do one kickstarter and keep it simple

- The Kickstarter will be in english, but we will aim to have translations of the main text of the Kickstarter page and rewards in Spanish, German and French if possible.

- Later on we hope to work with partners to produce German, French and Spanish versions of the books. We're in discussions about these but most likely they will happen in 2016 and will announce more info when we can.

- The Kickstarter will launch at the beginning of September and run for about a month (so until the beginning of October)

- If you want to hear about it first sign up at www.modiphius.com/infinity

- There will be a core book, then supplements for each of the factions, campaigns, an aliens supplement, floor tiles to use with miniatures (if you want, you don't need to use minis), custom dice, card decks, and more....

- There will be miniatures which will be semi exclusive to the kickstarter. You will be able to get them later on but with different poses. Bostria has been showing some of them off.

- There will be a couple of major campaigns - one starts on a ship of Ariadne recruits (and other faction crew) bound for Paradiso and the unfolding invasion. You'll learn the rules on the journey, discover a plot and end up at the centre of a major story. This is based on one of the the Corvus Belli's team's early Infinity RPG adventures. There will be stand alone adventures and one of them starts on the space station during the meeting of factions when the first Combined Army attack destroys the station - you'll be running & gunning as you try to escape and protect the VIP's.

- What about character creation? You'll be using three systems (total point buy to get exactly what you want, total random to start with a unique character or guided lifepath where you spend a few points to guide the random lifepath creation) to generate a character that will be affected by Birth Faction, random life events, Social Status, Environment you were brought up in (colony, farm, space station, ship, big city etc), Education, then you go through from 2-4 Primary Careers to add to your skills, talents, gear etc. Yes you will be able to make exactly the character you want matching the favourite Infinity miniature!

- There will be all new artwork in the books, plus lots of new content on the Factions and Combined Army. We will of course include some existing information for people who don't have the Infinity rulebooks.

- We're expecting the core book to be printed for Christmas, along with other accessories, the first adventure and campaign will be available in PDF, then the other unlocked books will be ready during 2016. Dates to be confirmed.

- What can you expect of the Kickstarter? ....

------ There will be a £40 PDF Master pledge which gets you everything unlocked in PDF (in the last kickstarter we did people got 17 books in PDF for this price and about 3000 pages so it was a great deal).

----- There will be a £60 Print Master pledge which gets you the core book in beautiful full colour hardback, plus everything unlocked in PDF. If you order this pledge you'll get an exclusive PDF adventure (which will later be available as part of a big campaign book) that is based on the Corvus Belli's team's early RPG adventures.

----- There will be a £100 PDF Subscription - getting all the RPG PDF's for the next 2 years

----- There will be something like ... a 'Bostria Master' Pledge ;-) which gets you drawn in to the core book as a character with your own stats and a short piece of story. You can join the Infinity story!

----- There will be a pledge for all the books in print (once they're unlocked)

---- There will be some other pledges once we organise things and you'll find out more soon

----- Our shipping is usually pretty good value and we work hard to get it as low as possible. We also offer the chance to pick up at events in London (Dragonmeet or the Modiphius office), UK Games Expo, Gen Con, or Essen once the books are printed.

----- We'll be doing a survey in the next week or so to check which books you'd like to see first in the stretch goals - what's more important, campaigns, or supplements about the factions, floor tiles or accessories etc?

There's a lot more to tell you but this should be enough for now!

You roll 2D20 your target number is the attribute+skill or lower, rolling the number of your skill means critical.

for example attribute 11 and skill 3 means 14 or lower to succeed rolls of 1-3 mean critical.

You may add "threat" which is a currency for the GM to add more dice, at the groups peril of course.

Sooooo.....how does it work would be my question?

If it works the same as in MC (it might not, I haven't been following the playtest), when rolling you check the following:

- Your Attribute (6-12 for most player characters)
- Your Expertise level in that skill (usually 1-5)
- Your Focus level in that skill (usually 0-3)
- The Difficulty of the test (usually 1 to 3)

You roll 2d20, and every roll with a result equal or lower your (Attribute+Skill Expertise level) counts as a success. Every dice result equal or lower to your Skill Focus level counts as 2 successes. If you get as many succeses as the Difficulty of the test or more, you succeed. Successes generated in a roll above the Difficulty level become Momentum (probably named differently in Infinity), that you can use for additional effects.

With all of the SF miniatures and games coming out and already on the market, is there any company making 3D 28mm spaceships? I'm not talking about just corridors,but where a player could have access to an entire ship. Such as living ,medical, engine rooms, command centers,etc. It seems to me there would be a large market for this.

INFINITY KICKSTARTER LAUNCHES THIS WEEK!

Hi there after all this time we're just days from the launch of the Infinity RPG Kickstarter. Thanks to everyone who completed the survey's we went through all the comments and answers and listened to you all. If you've been sent an Infinity RPG BETA survey please remember to complete it as it will help us finalise the core rules.
Here's some more info on the Kickstarter which launches THIS WEEK!

I just finished the draft edit of the Kickstarter video at 4am this morning, featuring a stunning soundtrack by two writers who create some of the biggest movie tunes! It's now gone to the editing team in Belgium to add some cool effects and it will then go to Corvus Belli on Tuesday for approval.

When do we launch? We're currently designing all the graphics for the Kickstarter page and building it - we're hoping to go live either Wednesday or Thursday THIS WEEK around MIDDAY UK time, depending on when everything is ready. As soon as we know we'll send out a mail giving you a heads up so you're ready.

Please tell all your friends in the Infinity community about this so we can get as many people on board as possible - we'll be creating lots of cool avatars and signature banners you can use but in the meantime please share the www.modiphius.com/infinity page and get people to sign up so we can email them when the Kickstarter goes live.

When does the Kickstarter finish? We'll be finishing at 8pm UK time on Sunday 4th October so make sure you can get online that weekend so you can join the live chat (we'll advertise the chat service link on the Kickstarter page) or Kickstarter comments and be part of the final weekend's crazy events!

The first few stretch goals are designed to make the pledges even better value for money - more on that in our next update but I think you're going to like what we're planning ;-)

In the meantime this is what a lot of you asked for and we're looking at incorporating in to the line
A Technology of the Human Sphere book - lots of gear!
War Market: The Mercenaries Sourcebook (including how to run mercenary companies)
A Tactical Assault Gears book with details on running campaigns with just TAG pilots,
The Combined Army book containing info on creating defected Morat or Shasvastii characters
Ships of the Human Sphere covering faction ships, ship based campaigns and deck plans
The 0-12 Files with info on conspiracies, rogue AI's and loads of adventures
The Contested Worlds Planet covering characters from the Human Edge and Svalarheima
There's lots more but we'll unveil it over the coming weeks through the Kickstarter in the meantime if you have questions we have a Q&A going on in our forum here.
Our first goal will be to fund the main books that you voted on which include the faction books and campaigns.

One piece of cool news, we are going to produce a boxed Collectors set - it looks like this will include the core book, players guide, a full set of the 6 RPG figures and GM screen or Gamesmasters Guide and something else extra. It's .... stunning.

We're starting work on some awesome ruined Paradiso geomorphic tiles by Henning Ludvigsen who drew the tiles for Imperial Assault, Descent and Mountains of Madness. They're first on the list to use in your adventures and we also have more based on your preferences.

That's all for today, we'll send one more update when we know when we're launching!

I think I might be grabbing that collectors set. That sounds fantastic, and just what I wanted. Bonus if it's got the faux-leather Core book. I'd prefer it if it had the PDFs, but if it doesn't, I'm sure I could add them.

Yeah I'm tempted for a physical copy of the main book and pdfs of the others, plus models of course!

Also as to the organisation of this thread, at the moment I have everything in spoilers, do we feel that's the best way to go, or leave some of the models unspoiled?


[KS] Infinity RPG Modiphius - Nebula of Mirrors + Hypercorps unlocked! And Deadline Update on Pg.11! @ 2015/09/07 07:08:13


Post by: endtransmission


I asked Modiphius about the £100 "all Infinity RPG pdfs for 2 years" level to see if there was any more news. There isn't a final count of what they plan to release yet as a lot will be determined by how well the campaign goes first. I would imagine year one will mostly be the unlocked books with a few supplementals to tie in with CB's campaigns or new models, but year 2 is apparently rammed full. Hopefully there will be more information later this week. They are getting better at hitting deadlines. They have historically been fairly close with their KS timings, with a few books delayed when the hired writers had personal issues to combat, but in each case, they have increased the size or quality of the books as an apology. Some have increased by up to 80 pages and gone from b&w to full colour... so you actually win if things are late

It is important to note that the main rulebook is in final testing at the moment, with the plan to have the pdf version released before Christmas and the print version just after, with each additional PDF/book released once a month. If the process follows the Achtung! Cthulhu progress they will most likely be sending out the pdf versions to allow people to proof read them and ask for clarifications on bits before anything goes to print, which has worked very well so far.

For anyone that has backed one of their other campaigns, they are working on some stretch goals for this KS (and future ones) that will benefit those backers as well as anyone that backs this one. They havn't said exactly what yet, but there was talk of additional small pdfs. This may also tie into the improved community site that they are building

For me unspoiled all the way, nothing to hide!

I can only recommend Modiphius! I pledged for Achtung Chthulhu, Mutant Chronicles and Thunderbirds.
Very good communication and everything more or less on time!

It is one of the GOOD KS experiences.

Why would I want ruined Paradiso tiles in an RPG? Even in the war-game I want a pristine environment, where I do the ruining!

Otherwise, this one will be costly for me.

I was thinking that the RPG would be a "buy sometime for the fluff" thing, but after reading the detail that's going to be included in the books, I'm thinking that I'm going have to get backing this one!

Just checked out the pledges and good gawd I can't wait for the Infinity Kickstarter to start. I'll probably go all out in this one to get both physical, digital, and get drawn as a character. Plus maybe get a mini made of me if there is that option.

Looks like it will be Wednesday the 16th now, instead of tomorrow. "One more last-second film edit approval".

That said, they say they've already got their pledge manager alive and kicking, so that's a good thing. That should go live in November.

Odds of Wednesday being pushed back? 50/50!

Ah they actually said pledge calculator, which is not the pledge manager. They use Backerkit though, so it should be fairly quick to set up though.

Shipping will not be included in the pledge totals, much like most campaigns now, and will be added on in the pledge manager.

They have also announced that the second stretch goal is one of the figures free with any pledge level that includes a printed rulebook. They have two of the models painted already and hope to have the rest finished in the very near future.

They are pretty good. The delivery date mentioned on the kickstarter will most likely be for the main book and add-ons like the bag and figures. The extra books unlocked will take time and be released over a longer period.

Each campaign has had less and less slippage vs the estimations given. They are good at communicating when there are delays and in every case where there has been, it has been down to the writers having personal issues, or them deciding that what had been written wasn't up to scratch and sent back. Each delay has increased the size or print quality of the books... so it sort of pays off for them to overrun slightly on one. One book in the A!C campaign increased by 80 pages and went form b&w to full colour

The way Modiphius tends to handle the books is that prior to printing, draft versions of the books are sent to backers to review. Once feedback has been given, the book goes off to print and sent out to everyone. Turnaround once the print has started is normally very quick.

They have said that the PDF of the main book is expected before Christmas, with the print run going out just after. I would imagine figures and some of the other items will also go out about the same time.

Looks like they made a good call on an Infinity license. Lets just hope that they can keep the momentum going throughout the campaign and blitz through past rpg campaigns.

Achtung! Cthulhu ended up at £177,557

I don't know if there will be a minis only level. Currently it looks like you need a minimum of the £20 level with a print book (which will get you one free mini) and access to the add-ons section.

Question: Is this pen & paper or a tile based RPG?

The campaign is worded to suggest it's pen and paper but then they're offering miniatures.


As for the miniatures, I was under the impression they won't be separate for the KS but will be released for Infinity proper with alternate arms later on (barring an exclusive stretch goal minis).

It's pen and paper but we're producing cool tiles because....well because they'll look amazing with all our favourite Infinity minis :-) Actually the system will support tiles nicely if you want them

Hopefully whoever proof-reads the book isn't the person who proof-read that Kickstarter page; "add on's"? :(

I might be tempted by the core book for the background, to fill in the gaps in the wargame book.

What's the scope of the game? Is everyone expected to play some sort of official or semi-official agent? Or can we do "Lock, Sotck and Two Smoking Barrels" in downtown Shanghai, dodging Celestial Guard and the like?

If you're not interested in the book and only want minis I'm sure you could find someone here that would let you add on some to their pledge.

Also, hit $70K. That's the last stretch listed. Looks like we should see an update soonish.

Not sure why with their audience they couldn't put at least one just minis and dice pledge level.

Honestly though trust issues won't let me piggyback with an Internet stranger. Hate to miss the exclusives, but it is what it is, not gonna pay 30 for something I don't want just to pay more for what I do want.

We kept the minis price as low as we could for backers but as a result had to link it to at least the core book pdf.

I'm interested but like all Modiphius rpg kickstarters the amount of additional books spirals quickly and then so do costs. I'm going to have to wait and see I think. I enjoy the high quality of their products, especially the fate Cthulhu rules, but I'm a bit of a completionist, and the need for Core book, players book, gm book, campaign book and then a bunch of faction books reminds me of the crazy days of TSR.

We've actually managed to keep the supplement print book costs really low - each one will be £12 at 112 pages, then £14 or £16 if they're bigger. . and there will be a print deal with all the book with a big saving. We may roll in some later supplements in to content upgrades for the earlier books

So far there seems to be about £15k between source books, so if it keeps up the same gaps and there aren't any other books in the lineup, we'd need to reach £205,000. With £67k in 9 hours, we're looking pretty good.

Achtung! Cthulhu took about 23 days of the campaign to reach this level.
Mutant Chronicles took 16 days... so I think we're going to do pretty well with this one, especially once we start getting some of the faction books and the special ltd boxes unlocked. We're also supposed to get more Bostria levels for each source book, so those will give us nice boosts

The email the other day said they wouldn't be charging shipping. But then in the pledge manager area it says you can organise to pay for shipping.

Confused - is shipping a standard thing and Modiphius are just paying it for each backer, or did they change their mind?

The pledge I was looking at (Core book in print, all PDFs, all miniatures) comes to roughly $200au. Which I might be able to justify to the missus. But if I'm paying expensive shipping on top of that, definitely not.

edit - shipping is 15 pounds to Australia for the book and minis. That's not too bad. Looking further at the minis, I only really want the Haqqislam and Yu Jing models. Not a fan of the others, and I only actually play Haqqislam. And I don't think we'd use miniatures to play the RPG anyway. That brings it to $175au inscluding shipping, which isn't too bad.

They didn't change their mind. The email said they wouldn't be charging shipping *during the campaign*, but would be doing so afterwards. This is becoming a standard Kickstarter thing for 2 reasons. 1) It means that they can accurately charge you what the parcel will cost based on what you pick in the pledge manager, so you are not paying £30 postage for one figure and a dice and 2) It means that kickstarter doesn't try to take a large chunk of the postage and packing costs

Yes you will. When it gets unlocked it will appear in the pledge calculator so you can see the costs and work it into your pledge amount.

Also, the Shadow Affairs campaign is now unlocked thanks to the overnight excitement with more Bostria levels and some geomorphic tiles have been added as the £115k level.

The tiles are of a devastated Paradiso and are being created by Hennig Ludvigsen, who did the A!C tiles, Descent, Imperial Assault and Mansions of Madness; so we know they will be very pretty! IF this is anything like the A!C campaign, these will be in the pdf pledge and as an add-on.

The PDF Master does unlock the minis add ons, you don't need a printed core book. Yes absolutely you can build exactly what you want - I'd suggest getting the supplement for what you want as it will contain most of the forces specialist info, but even with the core book you'll be able to stat them up easily.

Yes as we unlock each one, just add the print cost (we update the Add Ons and send in an update) to include it in your pledge, or choose one of the ALL THE BOOKS pledges coming soon

Apologies if this is answered in the Kickstarter page; what sort of background info will be in the core book and in the supplements? I'm really interested in the day-to-day details of Yu Jing (since that's the army I have for the wargame), and the sort of thing I'm after is the daily life of their citizens - architecture, government, culture, etc. Is that ort of thing likely to be in the core book, or should I look to the "nation" books (if that's the way you're organising things)?

Essentially, how much information will the core book and/or supplements give me about this scene? https://warpsignal.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/infinity___citizens_by_elpinoy.jpg
or what the civilians in the background of this picture will be thinking and how they'll react? http://orig02.deviantart.net/e1ba/f/2013/364/b/d/cb_infinity_haqqislamhassassin_lowresfinal_by_chesterocampo-d7042vl.jpg

Secondary to that would be details on the military - how many troops are there in a Celestial Guard, Zanshi or Zúyong squad, what sort of special weapons to they carry, are hackers, doctors, etc embedded at squad level or are they higher-level assets? How many squads to a platoon, platoons to a company, etc? What to the various military units do in peacetime (would civilians be used to seeing HI troops on city streets, for example?)

Does anyone who have any experience with the 2D20 system know if the damage location dice are useful?

I'm also kind of tempted by the faction dice, but I don't know what they'll look like.

No clue to the first one I'm afraid.

WRT the second, just a guess, but I'd be surprised if the dice deviate much from what's been released already (PanO, Nomad and Ariadna), that is faction coloured with a faction symbol in place of the 1.

It'd be nice to get a little more variety, like the sectorial symbols too.

It looks like the £130k goal has been stuck into the graphic now. It is a Paradiso gazetteer, covering Paradiso and the star system around it as well as mass space battle rules.

The social goals have also unlocked another one: 8 pages of an original adventure played by the CB team. This will be expanded with future social goals

There is supposed to be a primer pdf going up in the next week or two that shows the system off. You could also look up some reviews of the Mutant Chronicles RPG 3rd Edition as this uses the same 2D20 mechanics, or ask on their forum: http://www.modiphius.com/forum.html#/

Earlier on today in the comments Chris mentioned that some Dire Foes packs may be unlocked during the campaign as add-ons. He didn't say if these were existing or new ones though. I guess we will find out when we get there

£100k is now breached and the Nomads book is unlocked!

So at this point, if I want actual print books (rather than the PDFs) I'm better off going for the basic £20 or £40 'print book' levels (depending on what bonus add-ons I want) and then selecting the other books as add-ons?

At this point, yes. If you only want PDFs of the books you buy, go for the cheaper level. If you want pdfs of everything as well as any print books you add on, then o for the higher.

The £100k has added 8 pages of additional character options to the Player book (and should also have unlocked an A!C adventure. The £140k level has been added to the image too. When we get up there, a free printed Player's book comes with every hard copy core rulebook. We are supposed to be getting a new, bigger, pledge level tonight. I'm not sure if it is the box set or the Master Print (all print books) at the moment, but either way it should give the campaign a nice boost.

I wish I'd gone for the master print level in the A!C campaign as the books are soooo pretty.

OK thanks Endtransmission, will go for the £40 for now (just to do my little bit! ) and see how it develops.

Must say I'm impressed by how quickly this has got up to this total. I know it will level off in the coming week but it's definitely a promising start.

Yes it's more cultural, secret organisations, planet info, plots etc. Not so much the military units that you already have lots of info on. The nation or Faction books massively expand on that along with dedicated character generation and new rules, planets and much more. It's not a military sourcebook though, the purpose of these books is to give you lots of storyline on the universe, and reveal stuff - ships, vehicles, planets, plots etc

We're hopefully showing off samples later tomorrow. You don't need hit location dice - the character sheets will have the d20 roll and there's optional rules to simplify and do without hit locations

They're different designs - by Q-Workshop who make excellent designer dice.

I would suspect significantly more at the rate we're going
Mutant Chronicles "all in" book pledge was £400 for 18 books, including the ltd edition core book (plus all the A!C books in pdf, a pdf art book and a Savage Worlds conversion guide for MC)

I also missed that as part of the £100k goal, the Player's guide and character sheet is going to be translated in to Spanish. Future goals will hopefully expand this out to the core rulebook as well.

Print copies of the players guide for all printed core book recipients. I like it. Still a bit to unlock that particular goal.

Bargain! The print level includes:

- Collectors edition core
-GM Guide
-Shadow Affairs campaign
-Paradiso Planet guide
-Nomad guide
-Ariadna guide
-PanO guide
-Aleph guide
-Yu Jing guide
-Haqq guide
-Tohaa guide
-Combined Army guide
-Technology of the Human Sphere
-Ships of the Human Sphere
-Tactical Armoured gears
-The O-12 files
-War Market Mercs sourcebook
-Acheron Cascade campaign
-Adventures in the Human Sphere collection
-Nebula of Mirrors campaign
-Hypercorps
-Player's Guide

*phew* That is a long list. There is a note that some of these may be combined, but there will be at least 112 pages *per title* listed above, so that is a minimum of ((112 x 21)+368) = 2720 pages of goodness in print.. plus all 6 models *and* all the pdfs. You will get all those, even if they are not unlocked during the campaign as they are going to be produced too. I think I can easily wave goodbye to The Others for that

I like the other new pledge level too.

Now for Faction Fanatics (tabletop Infinity Players) - you can now get the £18 FACTION FANATIC pledge which gets you a Printed Faction book of your choice (for example Nomad, or PanOceania) to fill you in on your favourite group, an RPG miniature of your choice plus the Player's Guide in PDF which is now going to include the conversion rules to take your RPG characters on to the tabletop! So create a hero with the Player's Guide, then convert them to a tabletop character to fight in your next game! In addition you will also be able to purchase extra Add On's of Miniatures for £6.50 each (along with any other Add-On's you want).

Most things will be yes. I think the only things that won't are the limited core book and the 6 figures at the moment.

The Ariadna faction book is now on the future goals list at £155k.

It seems the all-in book level is pretty popular with 50 takers already

Someone had to be last!

But yeah, I agree - it should have been Yu Jing!

TACTICAL ARMORED GEARS TAG pilots are the greatest warriors in human history. In their mobile, armored weapon platforms – whether anthropomorphic, spider-like, or bird-form – they wield unprecedented destructive force, striding across battlefields like the demigods of old. And now their autonomous mastery of the battlefield has been increased by the flurry of remote drones which they command. This sourcebook releases their full potential with specialized TAG Warfare Rules, a TAG Equipment Guide, and guidelines for running campaigns starring TAG pilots and their incredible war machines.

112-page colour softback sourcebook with specialized TAG Warfare Rules, an extensive equipment guide (including dozens of TAGs and dronbots), and detailed guidelines for running TAG-focused campaigns.

The RPG etc will be available for shops to stock if they choose to do so

(here's some of their last RPG project in the wild http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/1618-achtung-cthulhu)

as to when they'd get to stores take the estimated KS release date and add6-9 months at least, and that would be for the main book and maybe one or two of the others,

expect the rest to trickle out piecemeal after that as I would not expect a stores to want to order a huge pile of new books for a brand new game at once

The point of kickstarter is to supply designers/creators with money to get their projects off the ground. To take them from concept stage to finished product. It's a little like Dragons' Den, if you want to "back" a project, you can do, at different levels depending on what "reward" you want from the project. IIRC you can never get stock etc. through KS, the rewards are all products, some KS exclusive to entice you to back them. Naturally, KS takes a % of any money paid to the creator (they have to be funded somehow).

Some companies use KS as a pre-order platform to fund tooling up new ideas, essentially eliminating the risk of developing a new product. While not strictly what KS was set up for, these big fish tend to be massive (I'm looking at you Zombicide) and supply the money to KS so that the smaller products/ideas can also be hosted. So they are largely tolerated.

Most of the items will eventually be available in stores, as a KS backer you will nearly always get your items first, before they ship to stores. Where something is KS Exclusive, you can only get it by backing the project and choosing (or just getting) it as a reward.

BIG DISCLAIMER

There is an element of risk involved, some projects fail.
While you won't be charged any money if the project doesn't reach its total, if the project is successfully funded but something else happens, you could end up out of pocket or receiving something of lesser quality than the designer promised.

Speaking personally, I've had no projects outright fail on me, but almost all have run late (2-3 months) and I've had two take over a year to fulfil their promises (still waiting on one now).

In this case I don't see an incentive to take on the risk so I'll wait and judge at retail. I'd be dissapointed pledging to later find out I could have got it cheaper and quicker on Amazon. My experience with Prodos has really put me off backing other projects.

I don't think there's a lot of 'risk' here. Modiphius has already run quite a few successful Kickstarters after all.

Now, whether or not there's enough 'value' is, of course, a subjective thing!

When are they going to be released then?


The Kickstarted books are discounted from what they will be in retail so you're saving about £190 on final retail value - or getting around 10 books for free, and £88 saving on what you'd pay in the Kickstarter. That's only a good deal if you see yourself getting them regardless. The really good deal is always the PDF Master - £40/$60 for every PDF unlocked in the Kickstarter. The last two kickstarters we ran had those pledgers getting about £200 of PDF's so they came off well.

Timewise we're MUCH better prepared this time, much like Thunderbirds is only delivering 30 days later, the core book is all written and going in to editing, so we will be shipping in February (unless we opt for seafreight to bring down the USA/Canada and Australian shipping prices in which case add 4 week). The rest of the books are listed for shipping waves in July and October and we'll be planning the schedule as we go. Feb will likely be the core book, players guide, Shadow Affairs Campaign and a couple of supplements.

I always say don't spend the money if you're not sure - just go for one of the basic deals - you'll get all the PDF's for £40, or the core book and all the pdf's for £60 and see what you think, you can always pick up the books in retail later on (a £12 Faction Book will be around £16-18 in retail).

£140k has now been unlocked, thanks to some more Art pledges being unlocked this afternoon. This gives a free printed player's Guide with every core rulebook ordered (assuming you want it as it does increase postage costs).

So for those of us with the All-In Print level, that is 2 copies we now get.

I was making an assumption due to the particular order the books are listed in the 'everything in print' pledge, which so far the unlocks have lined up with.

I'm guessing he's an Ariadna guy.

Having never used kickstarter before - I assume you do add-ons when the kickstarter is finished? I went to manage my pledge and couldn't find a way to include add-ons anywhere.

Post by: ski2060


For add-on's that you want, you basically just up your pledge amount by the cost of whatever you want to add.

Then, when the pledge survey and/or manager comes around, you match up your pledged funds with the particular items that you wanted to add on.

Plus, their pledge manager will allow you to add funds after the KS for add-ons also. This is normally not the case, as a lot of KS projects only allow your funds pledged by the close of the campaign.

And yes.. I'm an Ariadna guy

I will certainly be happy seeing more items unlocked and added to my current pledge (Print book+ unlocked PDF's).

Hey -Loki-, the general rule for these is to increase your total pledge to the amount of all the stuff you want.

Say you want 87 pounds of loot, starting with a 60 pound pledge level. Then pick the 60 pound pledge level and put your total pledge to 87 pounds.

They have a nifty calculator to let you know what the total amount is. This means all the extra stuff people want goes towards the total and helps unlock more things.

From their latest email update

"Hey guys we've been listening to you and decided to boost the value of the ALL THE BOOKS in Print & PDF Pledge.

Whilst it only includes PHYSICAL books (and their PDFS) plus the 6 miniatures, we will also include the following:

•PDFS of all Geo-morphic Tiles sets listed as Stretch Goals in the Kickstarter (whether unlocked or not)
•PDF's of all Card Decks unveiled as Add On's in the Kickstarter
•PDF of the GM Screen and all contents.

This boosts the value of the £300 pledge by a considerable amount and is thanks for those of you who've gone the extra mile to support us - we really appreciate it."

Dire Foes Miniatures & RPG Adventure

Today we're unlocking some cool Add Ons - the Dire Foes Miniatures & RPG Adventure, which also unlock a bonus PDF and Print book for those with all the PDF's or all the books in their pledges!

Check out the new Contents graphic to see what you actually get in each pledge. This will be getting better with each passing day and hopefully makes somethings clearer - for example that the Dire Foes & All The Books Pledges get all the benefits of the PDF Subscription. The PDF Subscription includes all pdf's such as GM Screen, Card Decks and Geomorphic Tiles.



Those of you who play the tabletop Infinity game will know of the Dire Foes Mission Packs. These 3 figure packs offer you extra choices for RPG miniatures and each box comes with artwork cards, miniatures background and a downloadable miniatures game scenario. Check out the 5 packs further down this update.

We're now offering these along with a printed book : The Dire Foes Adventures. This 40 page colour softback adventure offers all 15 characters from the 5 packs as playable characters or villains plus 5 short adventures based on their stories. You can pick up one set and the printed book for £30 or all five sets along with the book for £110



For those who already have one or more of the Dire Foes miniatures packs, you can get just the Dire Foes Adventure Book for £10



Have a look at what you get in each of the Dire Foes Mission Packs below. Note that references to the Mission Dossier are for the miniatures game use and miniatures are unpainted and unassembled.











We've got an announcement coming for a bonus printed Adventure Book for those with the Printed Core Book in their Pledge when we hit 2000 backers which is going to boost the value yet again and tomorrow we'll also be posting more about the 2d20 system for you.

Enjoy!
Chris, Modiphius


It doesn't look like the Dire Foes packs or books is included with the "All the Books" Pledge so these appear to be separate add-ons.

The Dire Foes book is included in the "All the print" level or all the PDF levels. The figure sets and the CB pdfs that go with them, however, are not as those do not belong to Modiphius and are not part of the rpg.

AFAIK there are no books missing from £300 level. The £40 pdf level does not get the GM screen, floor tiles or card decks, but the pdf subscription (which is now in the "all print" level) does.

Question for you helpful souls who've had experience with modiphus' kickstarters in the past, how is this tracking as far as progress goes? Is it in line with previous kickstarters, has the Infinity brand helped push it ahead, basically how are we going!

(I'm super excited for this ha)

Kicktraq is your friend!

INFINITY



Achtung! Cthulhu



Mutant Chronicles



So looking at that data, I'd say the INFINITY 'brand' certainly helped quite a bit out of the gate.

It will be interesting to see where this one ends, and if we see that typical last few days spike.

Also, wait until Modiphius launches that CONAN RPG!

Don't forget that Modiphius are also taking paypal orders for the kickstarter that are not currently visible. At the end of the campaign they will be adding that total onto the overall KS total and unlocking any extra stretches based upon the overall total... so we have mystery boost at the end from that too.

While the Infinity one may feel slow, even the slowest days so far have exceeded some of the higher days in the MC and A!C campaigns. I was kind of surprised we didn't see a large jump with the Dire Foes boxes being added though. It looks like people either aren't interested, or already have them all.

I think we will see quite a few of the 126 $1 backers up to either the £40 all pdf or higher near the end. I would also expect a few people to jump up to the "EVERYTHING!!" level when that gets unlocked nearer the end.

A really fantastic update, everything I learn gets me more and more excited for it! This seems like a really interesting way to do character creation, and depending on the GM you'll be able to pick more or less of it and it'll just be so good!

Update 22

Here's a walkthrough creating a character with the Infinity Lifepath. This is the final section of the rules getting tweaked by the background team so it's full of Infinity flavour but we've got enough to generate a cool character - so here goes!

The Infinity Lifepath has been designed to let you create the characters you want through spending points or letting the whims of fate decide their role in this epic story.

All characters receive five Life Points to help them navigate the tumultuous nature of their personal histories. Each Life Point has a specific effect dependant on the table they are rolling on. The lifepath is broken into player Decisions. At each Decision point, a player must decide how many Life Points they will invest or simply let the dice decide!

Lifepath Decisions. Right so let's get started. I'm going full random on this just so you can see how it works! I always create a character in my RPG's called Brandon Carter. He was my first D&D character aged 9 and since then he's kind of stuck with me.

Decision One – Select Starting Attributes. Lower attributes to raise others. Option to spend one to five Life Points to raise one to five Attributes.

A character begins with a score of 7 in each attribute: Agility, Awareness, Co-ordination, Intelligence, Willpower, Personality, Physique, and Strength. I want Brandon to be better prepared for ranged combat and piloting so I'm going to drop his Willpower by 1 and increase Co-ordination by 1. I figure he's a little reckless to explain the drop in his Willpower. That'll do for now.

Decision Two – Determine Birth Faction. Gain Skills, Talent, Languages & Faction Event. Option to spend one Life Point to pick result.

I roll a 6 and get Nomads! I get Shipboard Patois and any one other language. I think he had a girlfriend from Neoterra once. It didn't last long but he learnt English as a result - she'd teach him at the most annoying times but it worked. I get the Hacking and Vacuum skills at Expertise rank 1. I can pick one to be my Signature skill (which means it can have Expertise and Focus up to 5 instead of 3). My gut feeling says he'll need to be good at Hacking so I gain 1 Focus in Hacking as well (I now critically succeed on a 1 on my skill rolls). I also gain the first Hacking Talent (we'll cover those another time). Looks like Brandon messed around with computers when he was a kid, probably got in a bit of trouble now and again. Growing up a Nomad everyone needs to know Vacuum in case of emergencies so it was one of the first things he learned.

Decision Three – Determine Home World. Gain Attribute Bonus, Skills, Earnings Rating, Items of Interest, Apparel & Lodging. Option to spend one Life Point to pick the result.

I roll a 16 and discover Brandon grew up in the Human Edge, he gains a point in Willpower (now back to 7) and Personality (now 8) and Tech skill rank 1. Brandon's Assets will be equal to his final Personality score. (8 now but we use the final level at the end of Character Generation). Earnings Rating is 0 at the moment as he doesn't have a job.

Decision Four – Determine Social Environment. Gain Attribute Bonus, Skills, Equipment, or Resource. Option to spend one Life Point to pick the result.

I roll a 3 and find out he grew up in a Poor Neighbourhood - figures coming from the Human Edge. Brandon gains a point in Brawn or Willpower - I go for Brawn (now 8) and he get's Expertise rank 1 in the Resistance skill. I then find out a youth event - rolling a 15 I get 'Gained an extended family' under Poor Neighbourhood. So I'm thinking Brandon got adopted by someone from one of the Nomad ships during a trading visit to the Human Edge. Why though?...

Decision Five – Determine Education. Gain Attribute Bonuses, Skills, Talents, Free Career Picks, and Equipment. Option to spend One Life Point to pick the result. Roll for Adolescent Event. Option to spend one Life Point to re-roll or, with GM approval, pick the result.

Rolling a 6, Brandon received military training from an early age with Nomad. He gains two points to Brawn (now 9), 1 to Agility (now 10) and 1 to Intelligence (now 8). He also gains an Expertise rank in two out of Education, Tech and Command. I'm going with a second rank in Tech bringing it to 2, then Education so he knows stuff. I then gain five Mandatory skills: 1 Expertise Rank each in Ranged Weapons, Close Combat, Observation, Acrobatics & Athletics. I also choose one of these skills to become another Signature Skill. Let's go with Ranged Weapons, I improve that by a further rank to 2 and gain the first Ranged Weapons talent. All that time practising on the firing range trying to forget about her...

For Brandon's military training he gains a military dress uniform (Armour 1), a Dress Pistol (a basic Nomad pistol) and a combat knife.

Next I check for an Adolescent event. Rolling a 16 I find out Brandon had a terrible childhood accident - now that's why he left the Human Edge. I'm thinking he lost his parents in the accident and someone from one of the Nomad ships took him in. The accident has left him partially disabled. Movement related skill tests are one difficulty harder but all Willpower tests are one difficulty lower (minimum 1). He's come through the fire...

Decision Six – Determine Primary Career. You must begin with a Primary Career, and you may take no more than three career phases in total, including Iconic Careers (see Decision Seven, below). Gain Attribute Bonuses (first Career only), Skills, Signature Skill, Talent, and Equipment. Update Earnings Rating. Spend one or two Life Points to pick the result. Mark Age as 16 and increase by 1d6+1 years for each Career phase. Option to be unemployed and regain up to two Life Points. Roll for Career Event after each Career phase. Option to spend one Life Point to re-roll or, with GM approval, pick the result.

Brandon begins the career's decision phase at aged 16 and gains 5 years for his first career choice (roll 4+1). The first Primary Career roll is a 5 - Technical (repairman) - I think in the military. Brandon gains 2 points in Agility, 2 points in Awareness, 1 point in Co-Ordination, 2 points in Intelligence, 0 points in Willpower, 1 point in Personality and 2 points in Brawn. He picks ups skill ranks in Tech, Pilot and Thievery for his Mandatory skills. Then for his Elective skill he chooses two from Observation, Resistance or Discipline. I reckon Observation and Resistance will come in handy. He get's an Earnings Rating of 1 and a Basic tool Kit or Breaking & Entering kit. I think the Tool kit is more useful at the moment. So he's gotta prove himself first so Nomad assign him to tech duties - helping out on hacking and tech projects keeping their teams well looked after. He comes through though and gains valuable skills.

Before we move on we roll for a Career Event. Brandon knows someone who's a criminal and he can't turn them in. Ah! The girl from NeoTerra of course. He gains the trait Blackmailed but I figure he's just can't face turning her in. Maybe she was on the other side on a job and he let her go because of their past together. What happens if command find out? I think there's a deeper story here and would discuss it with the GM as he can use it as a plot seed for my character.

Decision Seven – Iconic Career. Check prerequisites for entry. May spend one to three Life Points to reduce cost of entry. Gain Skills, Signature Skill, Talent, and Equipment.

For the next career phase his age increases again. This adds another 1d6+1 years to Brandon's age for a total of 6 so he's now 27 years old. I roll on the Iconic careers for Nomad and get a 1 for Military (Special Forces)! Brandon must roll a Skill check to enter the Special Forces with a difficulty of 2. He chooses to test against Ranged Weapons and scores two successes on his shooting test. BAM! He's on the team!

Brandon is back in training and gains 2 points in Agility, 2 points in Awareness, 2 point in Co-Ordination, 1 point in Intelligence, 1 point in Willpower, 0 point in Personality and 2 points in Brawn. He picks ups skill ranks in Survival, Resistance and Ranged Weapons for his Mandatory skills. Then for his Elective skills he chooses two from Close Combat, Hacking or Discipline. Close Combat and Hacking are right for Brandon he's turning in to a right tough Hacker type! Nomad quickly saw his value as a fighter with a strong instinct for data and sensitive equipment.

His pay grade went up as he get's an Earnings Rating of 2 and an armoured paramilitary uniform with supplemental armour plating, a standard model Combi Rifle with 2 reloads and Chameleonic Clothing. Now he's ready!

Let's check the Career event for this phase. 17 - Marooned in space! Brandon is one of the only survivors of a disaster aboard a ship. It took time to recover afterwards, possibly recovering from sickness or wounds. We add a year to his career so he's now 28 and he's gained the trait Space Sickness. If he play's this up during gameplay it's a way to gain Infinity Points that he can use to do awesome things.

Decision Eight – Final Customisation. Gain 2 Infinity points. May convert up to two Life Points for two extra Infinity points. Further Life Points maybe converted to Assets or new Skills. Gain two Attribute bonuses, two Skill increases and one Talent. Determine Derived Stats: Bonus Ranged and melee Damage and Influence. Determine Starting Vigor and Resolve. List character traits and, optionally, determine relationship to other characters in the group.

I decide to stop there, I could go on for up to another career but this feels right. Here's where Brandon is now:

Agility 11 (Acrobatics 1, Close Combat 2)
Brawn 14 (Athletics 1, Resistance 3)
Co-Ordination 11 (Pilot 1, Ranged Weapons 3)
Awareness 11 (Observation 2, Survival 1, Thievery 1, Vacuum 1)
Intelligence 11 (Education 1, Hacking 2/1, Tech 3)
Personality 8
Willpower 8
So I still have my 5 Life Points. I get 2 Infinity Points and may convert up to two Life Points to Infinity Points which I think is a great idea. That leaves me with 3. I'm going to use the remaining 3 Infinity points to add some Focus to my skills. I add Focus 1 to Ranged Weapons, add 1 to Hacking (making it 2) and 1 to Tech.

I can now add two extra points to my Attributes - I think I'll boost Personality to 9 (which increases my Assets to 9) and increase Co-Ordination to 12.

I can increase two skills from Focus 0 to Focus 1 or Expertise 0 to Expertise 1. I think Brandon is going to need some help with Close Combat so I add 1 rank in Focus and I choose to add Medicine Expertise 1 just in case...

Then I can choose one final Talent - he goes for the first Tech Talent.

Agility 11 (Acrobatics 1, Close Combat 2/1)
Brawn 14 (Athletics 1, Resistance 3)
Co-Ordination 12 (Pilot 1, Ranged Weapons 3/1)
Awareness 11 (Observation 2, Survival 1, Thievery 1, Vacuum 1)
Intelligence 11 (Medicine 1, Education 1, Hacking 2/2, Tech 3/1)
Personality 9
Willpower 8
You'll notice I'm showing Expertise/Focus above. On the character sheet it's nice and clear of course. You'll add Expertise to your attribute - in my case a Ranged Combat skill check will be Co-Ordination 12 + 3 Ranged Weapon Expertise = 15 or less. If I score my Focus - a 1 - I get a critical which counts as two successes instead of 1.

Then we have:

Earnings Rating 2 - my on-going access to funds
Assets 9 - based on Personality - my saved funds
Traits: Blackmailed, Space Sickness, Disability (+1 Movement difficulty / -1 Willpower difficulty)
Gear: Dress uniform, Pistol, Knife, Armoured paramilitary uniform with supplemental armour plating, a standard model Combi Rifle with 2 reloads and Chameleonic Clothing, basic Tool Kit.
Talents: Ranged Weapons 1, Hacking 1, Tech 1
Finally Brandon get's some bonuses.

Ranged Weapon Damage: 2 Combat Dice (added to any weapons combat dice)
Close Combat Damage: 4 Combat Dice (added to any weapons combat dice)
Influence Bonus: 1 Combat Dice
Resolve: 8 (Willpower plus Discipline Expertise) He's had a rough time of things so it's one of his weaker Attributes, but his determination should see him through (see his Disability).
Vigor: 17 (Brawn plus Resistance Expertise) He's one tough nut!
How does Brandon know you guys? I roll and check: Well we were betrayed on a previous contract and we lost mutual friends. Now someone is going to pay!
So that's an example character. The story leaps off the page as you go, they'll be a lot more faction flavour in there shortly and it's pretty quick. If you know what you want it's super fast to fill in. Otherwise roll and enjoy and let your imagination unfold a new hero!
Enjoy!
Chris, Modiphius

i'm confused...
it looks like i can get the Player's Guide, and the six minis, but not the Core book and the six minis, unless i go all in...
why would i want the Player's Guide, but not the Core book???
it also looks like anyone who has pledged for the books can't double up on the minis, thus preventing me from piggybacking just for the minis...

am i missing something???
i really just want the minis, and more specifically, the Ariadna guy (with Yu-Jing and Aleph being a close second), but i would be happy with the Core book and the minis...

help me Dakka-Dakka, you're my only hope...

The "Miniatures Master" pledge is basically targeted to Infinity skirmish players, not the RPG players, who only want access to the miniatures. The Player's Guide is a PDF book of fluff along with intro rules to character creation which could be used to 'hook' players into playing the RPG as well.

I'm not sure I understand. There is no reason to double up on the pledge. Now in the pledge manager they might allow the pledge to be added to another pledge but I don't see why anyone would want too. If you only want the miniatures, it would be better to piggyback with someone else anyways. The miniatures are only £39 (£6.50 x 6) and the base pledge for miniatures only is £49 (6 miniatures for £39 + Players PDF for £10).

Now to get the Core Book + Miniatures, that is a different story. I would probably say go RPG Core Book PDF which gets you the Core Book and Players Guide in PDF format for £20, then add the 6 miniatures as Add-ons for £39 for a total of £59. If you want print then you'd have to go RPG Core Book Print and PDF for £40 + £39 for the miniatures for a total of £79.

when i said double up, i meant that it looked like someone who had already pledged could only get six minis, not twelve...
i assume most people pledging would want the minis, too, so if i piggyback, they would have to double up on the minis...
if there is an option for extra minis as add-ons, then everything is cool...

Pretty sure they'd let you double up on minis at the pledge manager at the end. At least, I hope so, since my brother is piggy backing off me to get the Haqqislam and Yu Jing models, which I also want.

There is no minimum or maximum number of miniatures that you can order. Per their FAQ in the Kickstarter it does say at the bottom:

How many minis can i order with my pledge?
As long as you are at the Faction Fanatic (£18) pledge or higher, you can order as many minis as you like.

You are good to order as many as you want, doubles and triples of the same one even.

If there were new Dire Foes sets, they would not be getting released via a kickstarter. Dire Foes are regular Infinity releases.

At the moment the minis we have is all that's available for the Kickstarter - CB are extremely busy so it was great of them to make time for these 6 RPG Minis to support the project.

Yes! Best news since the Ariadna book got unlocked!

CHEAPER SHIPPING! We are going to be announcing cheaper shipping rates for at least the USA, Canada, Australia & New Zealand in the last week of the Kickstarter (which is only a week away yikes!). This will involve sea freight of the stock to the USA and a 4 week delay on delivery for each wave in order to get it to a local fulfilment house. We will likely offer an option to forego this and go with the current airmail pricing if you want the package sooner. It will just depend on the ensuring we don't make it too complex for the logistics team.


I'm so happy about that, 30 on the top for shipping had me wincing. Even if it only drops a bit I'll love it

Books are heavy - 'media mail' helps with those costs in the USA, but even if there's a single little thing in the package that isn't a book, magazine, etc. (like 1 metal miniature!), you can't use it.

I'm not saying that!

Maybe?

Not sure how postage works in Australia, but that's how "Media Mail" works in the USA.

So when Modiphius ships it from (x) to the USA via (air or sea), then they have to package it all up and ship it out to individuals.

That's where 'media mail' would either help - or not.

Either way, shipping is going to be a stinger, but it is what it is!

I work in that industry. Beleive me, for something bulky with decent packaging, postage is not going to be cheap if you're including books. Maybe cheaper, but not cheap.

Well just using normal shipping, not media mail in the USA from a local shipping company will be a bit cheaper - we actually ate a big chunk of the 2-30kg price ourselves for those spending a lot so it won't be a massive reduction but you'll see differences between basic core book pledges and massive 'everything' pledges

I'm trying to scrape together the funds for an 'all in print' pledge, but that will probably have to wait until post-campaign in the PM for me.

Yeah. If the pound drops below 1:2 I don't think I'll be able to resist the 300 quid pledge as opposed to the hundred I'm on now. Just too in love with infinity haha. There's an idea, how about a freebie 300 quid pledge for me for running the thread (and I guess alph as well for updating it for me half the time) :p

Kidding, kidding of course. I'll just bank on the pound dipping/the aussie dollar growing a pair.

As the Modiphius team are now setting up at Essen and we're only a couple of hundred away from the next goal (Yu Jing), they have just updated the graphics with the next addition.

The £200 goal also unlocks 8 pages of extra content (GM plot generators) for the Ltd core book and 8 extra pages for the player book. Not sure what these extra pages are yet, I guess we will find out when Chris has the chance to do an official update.

As a big surprise to no-one, the Tohaa book will be unlocked at £245k.

Onwards to the Haqq book...

I think Chris has a number of other things lined up before that

Apart from the books listed in "All Print" we know there are also goals for a character creation/conversion tool, more pages for the ltd book and more pages for the player book.

There has also been talk of more card decks, a bag, more maps and the limited boxed version of the main book.

There will also be the "get it all" pledge level towards the end once a few more add-ons are revealed apparently.

Yeah, Chris confirmed that it is a typo. Many people cried. As they were all at Essen over the weekend they havn't had a chance to update the graphic yet.

They have also confirmed that the ltd Box version of the rulebook should be announced on Tuesday when they are back in the office

If we can get TAGs and Mercs done I will be a happy chappy. The rest I would like, but aren't on my "Must Have" list.

I was really happy that they bumped the TAG book to the front of the line after the Factions.

Post by: Vain


I was running from the recendly divergent list in the pledges:

INCLUDES: Collectors Edition Core Book, Gamesmasters Guide, Shadow Affairs Campaign, Paradiso Planet Book, All Faction Books (Nomad, Ariadna, Panoceania, Aleph, Yu Jing, Haqqislam, Tohaa, Combined Army), Technology Of The Human Sphere, Ships Of The Human Sphere, Tactical Armoured Gears, The 0-12 Files, War Market Mercenaries Sourcebook, Acheron Cascade Campaign, Adventures In The Human Sphere Collection, Nebula Of Mirrors Campaign, Hypercorps

I got excited when I saw that Haww jumped over the two alien books. No one has officially said there was a specific order, this was just my assumption.

It looks like we've got an accidental preview of the non KS version of the Ariadna character. The KS version is the one shown in this image



but this one came out on the KS page yesterday and Chris confirmed that this was the wrong image. Note the pistol behind the back of the KS version and the cane on the other version.

Have added the Haqqislam guide, paper printed map and an extra RPG miniature (the Ariadna one - don't play the faction but just love that sculpt!)

Hopefully they will reach the TAG and Mercs book total as well! This is starting to get rather expensive for me..

The 0-12 box set is interesting


It looks like a pretty good set, but would have been nice to have some dice in there as well to make it a complete starter kit. I will be sticking to the print level I think. The box will also be coming with the 0-12 (all-in) level that is due tomorrow with some additional add-ons.

The character and npc pads can be added on at £8 each, though there doesn't appear to be anything about this in the add-ons section of the homepage yet

New update!

My favorite part:

We're also working on a version of All The Books that does not include the PDF Subscription, Collectors Edition or 6 Miniatures (just the free one) for those that don't want to upgrade for the full package but still want all the supplements.


Yes please!

Update #35

Oct 14 2015
2500 Backer Bonus! Plot & Agenda Decks!
0 Comments

Hi we've unlocked another bonus. At 2500 backers we added a bonus 8 pages to the Collector's Edition and 8 pages to the Player's Guide! Both books now have a bonus 16 pages of content.

Tonight we can unveil two more of the Card Decks! The first builds on the Wilderness of Mirrors system to give you some instant subterfuge for your game. Each card will feature a list of Agenda's for each faction giving lots of variety! PDF's of these are included in the PDF Subscription & All The Books in Print Pledges or Add Ons otherwise they're £8 as a print Add On.



The Gamesmasters Plot Deck let's you quickly build a plot by drawing a few cards. Each card features a short list of Plots, Twists, Obstacles, Enemies, Locations, Adversaries etc within the Infinity universe. Draw them to create quick scenes, elaborate adventures or inspire whole campaigns! Combine them with the Agenda's in the Wilderness of Mirror's Deck to get awesome stories. PDF's of these are included in the PDF Subscription & All The Books in Print Pledges or Add Ons otherwise they're £8 as a print Add On.





Tomorrow night we'll have the GM and Player Dice Sets and I hope to report on the latest reductions for shipping as we prepare for the final weekend plus the big O-12 Master Pledge which will get you one of everything in the Kickstarter!

We're also working on a version of All The Books that does not include the PDF Subscription, Collectors Edition or 6 Miniatures (just the free one) for those that don't want to upgrade for the full package but still want all the supplements.

Enjoy!

Chris, Modiphius

So a deck that's basically a Tom Clancy narrative generator? That's a good idea, especially if people just want a quick session on a Friday night.

The O-12 box is very tempting, but I think I'll stick with the CE.

Update #37

Oct 15 2015
O-12 Master Pledge & Upgrade, All The Books Upgrade & Dice Sets
9 Comments
5 likes

Right it's time to unveil the really big pledges. I've been holding back on these working the numbers to try to give those who want to upgrade the best value possible.

ALL THE BOOKS UPGRADE. The difference is this does not include the Collectors Edition, the Miniatures or the PDF Subscription.



O-12 MASTER! Next we have the O-12 Master Pledge. This is basically everything! It also has some great unlocks! Not only do you get everything listed in the graphic, but you also get all the unlocked Geo-morphic Floor Tiles, and all the unlocked Card Decks. This pledge saves you at least £157 on the Kickstarter prices.



Now we've also created an Add On version the O-12 Master Upgrade which is the same set but without the Collector's Edition and Core Book so if you have an existing Pledge you can simply add this. It saves you at least £117 on the items.



You'll see it includes the GM Dice Set. This set includes ten of the new O-12 d20's - please note this is a rough mockup to be replaced tomorrow! You also get 16 of the Combat Dice and a couple of Hit Location dice - enough for a GM to provide a gaming table with plenty of dice. OH! I've just noticed the GM Dice set should say Approx (€54 / $60) we'll fix that tomorrow.



Player's aren't left out. They get the Player's Dice Set with five d20's of your faction choice, a hit location dice and 8 Combat dice.





Phew.... that was quite a mission! Now we're set for the last few days. We're going to focus on more Stretch Goals being unlocked for you, more unlocks of value for the things like the Player's Guide, the GM Screen, posting a combat scene example and other smaller Add On's and art reveals. Massive thanks to our designer Gary who's been burning the midnight oil.. and some, to keep all these great graphics coming for us.

Enjoy!

Chris, Modiphius


Now I just need to make sure that you still need to buy a 'core book' level and that this is an add on.

Making the REAL price for an 'all the books in print (except for the collector's edition)" pledge £240?

I'd be happier if the "ALL THE BOOKS" level meant ALL THE BOOKS for £200 though!

Decided I had to drop my pledge a bit for the add ons that I wanted :( Sad day for motyak. Had to drop the collector's edition to be able to get the map etc. But worth it, because I'll have a pretty map. Right?

And by drop my pledge I mean it ended up at 32 pounds more, so really I dropped by pledge by 40 then added 72 in add ons ha.

So close to £260K now...that T.A.G. book will hopefully get unlocked today!

And while the new "All the Books in Print" upgrade is nice, I really was hoping for it to be £200 for "all of the books" meaning ALL of the books!

T.A.G.s are in before the 48 hour notice went out, so hopefully we'll blow through the Acheron Cascade book and the Ships book at the very least. £300k would be nice to unlock the extra pages in the Ltd and Player book

We're at...14 or 15 books already?!?

I want to say it was January/February for first wave, next Summer for second wave, and following October/November for last books scheduled.

Yeah, it's on the Campaign goals page, about 3/4 way down.
"There will be three main shipments of physical products. Books will be sent out in to PDF to backers as they are completed. You will be able to choose one, two even three shipments in the pledge manager.

Wave 1: The Core Book, Player's Guide PLUS other books to be unlocked PLUS The RPG Minis & Dice (Feb 2016 Print, PDF's sending from Dec 2015). North America & Australia March)

Wave 2: Books to be unlocked (July 2016, North America & Australia/New Zealand August)

Wave 3: Books and Items to be unlocked (October 2016, North America & Australia/New Zealand November) "

21 books in print for £240 ($370) is too good a deal to pass up for me!

Only $17.60 a book!

I'll have to add that £200 "all the books' updgrade later on in the PM though...

I just had a play with the Mutant Chronicles character generator linked to in the update and it seems pretty comprehensive. Should be a fantastic addition to the rpg. The only addition that would be great is the ability to come back and update your character later.

No, they do not!

More for Modiphius, less for Kickstarter, but fewer stretchgoals unlocked - maybe.

Many campaigns DO allow PM funds to unlock stretch goals.

I am curious to see how much the "PayPal" side of things is adding here...

Chris did mention the other day that the PM should also unlock goals. It is kind of tempting to drop the pledge through KS and just send it via paypal to give Modiphius more funds, but it would also be nice for them to become the highest funded new rpg on KS for bragging/advertising rights, so it is a tricky choice...

I've been keeping an eye on this.

Thing is, it looks like there's way too much stuff for someone with only a casual interest in the world / universe.

I guess the kinda thing I'm looking for is the 'Yu Jing' mini, plus whichever main book or books would give me a bunch of background fluff to read through.

We'll definitely unlock more stretch goals from the pledge manager total less shipping paid. It should still be about 10-20%

Either go with the core book Pdf to get you the main fluff and a mini add on, or the faction fanatic pledge which gets you the Yu Jing or whatever faction book you want and a mini Both also give you the player's guide in pdf with rules to create heroes and convert them to the tabletop

The 'players guide book' (which you get as a PDF) will probably have a fair amount of general background too, as will the 'core book' (which isn't included here).

I've gone with the £60 pledge that gets you the core book in print plus the mini and all the unlocked books in pdf, including the faction books.

Plenty to read for me, plus I can pick out the books I want as physical copies and get them at my local game store as they appear, so they are not losing out.
