Have they given a proposed schedule for when everything *might* be in print and shipping?

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) "

Thanks ski2060!

I wonder how much an 'all the books in print' and 3 waves of shipping will cost...

So £305k will be the Mercs sourcebook, which gives new player and campaign options.

I'm not sure what Modiphius expected from this kickstarter, but I'm pretty amazed this ones gone higher than Thunderbirds.

I'm not!

Thunderbirds is a bit old of a property.

I'm as nostalgic as the next geeky gamer, but INFINITY is one of the 'up and coming' wargames - kinda sorta!

My gaming group seriously loved Thunderbirds when we played yesterday, there are 2 copies in the group and we had 2 games simultaneously running. Even the Star Wars fans came over (and called spots for next week) after they'd finished IA and X-Wing.

"Ships of the Human Sphere"

Dammit they may have just got another add on from me. Sounds so cool...

You're not jumping in with the £200 "all the books in print' add-on too?

By the way I hate you all, reading this thread got me to back. Even if it is only at the all the PDFs level.

I'm looking forward to the TAG and aMerc books. I hope we'll get some art on the aerial TAGs . The Merc book I hope will have lots of art for and new mercenary companies.

I decided I wanted add ons like the map and what not, and having to pick between them and the books....so hard! Still not decided

I there anything not included in the master pledge?

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...

Just the Dire Foes Miniatures sets are not included. The GM Dice set is included instead of the Player's Dice set as it's a bigger set

£290 is hit!

The Ships are in, now on to the Mercs!

That was a fast jump. I think Mercs would be safely in the bag now, since there's paypal pledges that aren't counted until it's finished.

I may drop to my 60 basic pledge then add more afterwards, because KS don't take their money from the pledge manager do they?

Mercenaries unlocked with 7 hours to go! With PayPal additions we may see the O-12 book unlocked too.

Just unlocked the character generator App and lots of bonuses for everyone at 3000 backers and £300,00 ($470,000)

This is getting really difficult to resist going for the All In Print pledge...

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.

That would be the 'Faction Fanatic pledge:



right?

That's just the Yu Jing book though, right? Is there a more generalised book for me to read that I could get as an addon, right?

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.
