^I have to agree... that was kind of lame =/ And the humor was pretty weak too. What to glean from the article? Hacking has a table, as if we didn't know

Alguaciles would be nice. But Bandits would be AWESOME.
Infinity: Way, way better than 40K and more affordable to boot!

MDF tiles, these look like they can be rotated to create variety within a city board (they have a locking mechanism on the back to hold them together) - will be interesting to see if they release any more of these
Ariadna buildings - like the idea of this, and pretty original compared to what we have seen so far. You would need some special rule though where if a miniature walks within 2" of the pub entrance, a Wulver comes out and hits them over the head with a chair

Yes they do - I assume it's just a bit of sloppy photo cropping for the white background.
For an Ariadna table, I quite like the idea of putting in some 'Wild-west' type buildings and signs, but with some sci-fi stuff as well. Kind of like something from Firefly, it's how I imagine the Ariadnan frontier towns being.
A few of you asked questions in the sign up - here's some quick answers!
- As you may have heard the 2d20 system core mechanic is actually inspired by the Infinity rules. We'll be talking more about that but have already mentioned this in a couple of podcasts and blog posts in our Advent Calendar.
- We will be producing translations later in the year with other publishing partners for Spanish, French and German (maybe others too)
- You will be playing individual characters from all human factions including Aleph. Supplements will introduce the Tohaa and other possibilities...
- You will be able to use your existing Infinity miniatures if you like to use minis.
- There will be several ways of having characters from different factions working together and there is a big plot for you to follow, as well as numerous other campaign stories, either on the front lines in the Paradiso system or elsewhere in the Human Sphere or beyond...
- Corvus Belli will be producing some sets of RPG miniatures using existing miniatures designs for new players who just want some sample characters, later on and production capacity allowing, Corvus Belli may create some specific miniatures for the RPG. These will not be exclusive to the Kickstarter though will be available there first.
- There will be a whole line of books, we'll be asking questions about what you'd like to see in the next month!
- There will be map tiles and maps for those who like using miniatures with the RPG but neither minis or maps will be required for play. You can simply use your imagination as with other RPG's.
- The adventures will cover both the stories of the Infinity team and their first adventures set during the Campaign Paradiso timeline, but you can also set your adventures during the opening shots of the war when humanity is attacked, or at any other time.
- There will be new and existing art, but we will be showing other sides of the Infinity world that you haven't seen yet, as well as exploring the factions, worlds, technology and more
- There will be a conversion system to take your RPG character in to the tabletop game.
- The pre-order (expected in the 2 months ) will be for fans to order direct from Modiphius, but at the same time we'll be working with distributors to make the books available for pre-order through stores if you prefer to support your local store. However if you pre-order via Modiphius you will receive a series of bonus PDF adventures following the footsteps of the Infinity team's first adventures and you will receive the PDF of the corebook as soon as it's ready.
- The Kickstarter (which will be later in the year) will allow those who missed the pre-order to pick up the corebook with some special deals, along with other books and accessories in the line. The corebook will remain available in retail after the pre-order.
- There will be a special limited edition book in the pre-order and during the Kickstarter. More news on that later!

Heh. I remember about a month or so before the announcement I was planning on contacting CB to ask them for permission to "·publish" a free conversion of the Infinity setting using the rules from Eclipse Phase. Alas, looks like it won't be needed >_>.
That said, I still think (even though I quite like what I've seen of the new Mophidius' house system from the Mutant Chronicles RPG) that EP is not only a good match for Infinity (the core system works mostly exactly the same, except for being percentile instead of d20) but it would also be stupidly easy to hack it for that.
EDIT: I need to see who's going to be doing the spanish version, nonetheless. I'd love to get involved, and I already translate RPGs professionally...

I already commented about the RPG in it's own thread but... pretty nice terrain I really need to work on my own terrain to give it a lived-in 'realistic' feel that they've got going on there. I especially like the sci/future 'neon' holo-server thing on the top, could cover a board in things like that as far as I'm concerned.

287 USD for a table of the street map. Its cool, really, but these companies need to think about prices. Heck I think 65$ for a mouse pad map is a bit expensive because, its just a map. I don't think they take into consideration the cost of all the buildings needed on top of a map

I especially like the idea of a conversion system to bring RPG characters to games of Infinity. If CB couple it with some easy to convert player character models, people can create their own 'Dire Foes'.

Not that expensive compared to what's out there. But for flat streets, I'd prefer HIPS and go with a clean urban Secret Weapon Tablescape.
If I was shelling out for an expensive HDF full table setup, I'd go the whole hog and buy a New Paranoia board.

Nah he simply cannot pronounce it right, I am sure we can get enough bloopers of him saying it even worse to laugh our lungs out.
In all his videos I get the distinct impression there's a great deal about Infinity, beyond how to pronounce everything, that he doesn't fully comprehend.
The old vids were more fun with the accent.
Is that a natural 21?

In the original videos it was Bostria speaking. I remember people talking here about his accent. After the first Infinity Week at BoW, Warren re-recorded the English tracks and they re-uploaded the videos. Now they have updated the visuals.

I personally can't stand him... And although Bostria had a funny accent it felt sort of authentic... But really Warren to me is what Matt Ward is to 4chan...
Just a pet peeve but asba German I still wonder why they didn't correct that "Die Morlock Gruppen" gibberish... It's half way there but it makes me cringe every time...
Btw where are the previews for new minis? Can't wait for those!

I've got to say that earlier tip about circular adhesive scrapbooking sticker things was spot on:
I just finished a mess of these tokens. All are double sided so your wound marker can double as an unconscious marker with a quick flip.
They came out good, but those epoxy button caps (or whatever they are) really stick together. I hope they won't permanently adhere to each other while they're packed away.
Otherwise the results are great.
