I am an RPer at heart, and love every single one of these RP figs so far.
Rumored KS date still mid-Sep? Anyone know?

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!

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.

Modiphius posted on the CB forum earlier today that the Kickstarter would be launched most likely between Tuesday and Thursday next week (September 8-10).

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.

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.
2015/09/07 06:10:50
Subject: [Kickstarter imminent] Infinity RPG by Modiphus
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?
I wish I had time for all the game systems I own, let alone want to own...

Subject: [Kickstarter imminent] Infinity RPG by Modiphus
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!
Have they suggested timing for the miniatures? I've been considering ordering an extra set as a Christmas present for someone, but for that they need to arrive before Christmas...
2015/09/08 06:13:50
Subject: [Kickstarter imminent] Infinity RPG by Modiphus
Not yet. Hopefully they will have more information on the dates when the campaign starts.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Looking through the description of what is coming for this campaign, it occurred to me that these seem to map neatly onto the same sort of levels as the Mutant Chronicles campaign they ran last year:
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.
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.
Iain.

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!
Why does this kind of thing keep happening to me?
