According to the Modiphius facebook page this should be either Friday or Tuesday as they are still waiting for the final ok from CB

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:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/mutant-chronicles-3rd-ed-rpg/description

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.

The update from today is that it took longer to create all the KS assets than they thought, so CB will be checking them all over the weekend with the aim to launch the campaign on Tuesday

Come ooon CB. I want so badly to remove the "imminent" part of the title.

You and me both. I will be interested to see how fast this one funds

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!

That's ok, an extra day or so before I pillage my wallet.

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.

Has Modiphius been on time with their previous Kickstarters? I doubt there'll be any real issues with this one, but I'm just curious.

I don't know, does "Launch late, deliver on time" count as shade thrown?

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.

Soubds good. I was expecting this to release in waves, so that's no surprise. Glad to hear that their turnaround time is generally very quick. Can't wait until tomorrow.

So, launch time is TODAY... in about 50 minutes

(midday GMT)

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.

Huzzazh, we are live and already 3000 quid in ha

I think you meant to say £10,000 in. This is rolling along nicely

Well, this grabbed my interest. Never really gotten into RPGs, so this will be my first shot.

So I don't get paid til the 15th next month, so am I right in thinking I can pledge a small amount now but change my pledge level in the pledge manager later?

Or 16,000. God damn Modiphus, flying along

It looks like it, yes. Past campaign pledge managerss let you add in after the campaign

I think I'll go for the collector's. And just pray either the pound takes a hit or the Aus dollar rallies ha.

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
Mutant Chronicles ended up at £151,072

They are putting the final touches on a Collector's box with even more goodies in it. Really interested to see what is in that

Ok, so more information on the player's guide. This is reformatted information from the full book, rather than a specific player guide with new information. At the moment.

The aim of this book is for the GMs to have something the players can read through without seeing GM material

Aaaaaand funded in an hour.

Maybe I missed it, but there's no minis only pledge? or do all the minis need to get unlocked first?

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).

Yes just pledge what you can, you can upgrade your pledge and add more during the pledge manager through november

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

Minimum pledge will be the Core Book PDF plus 6 minis


With the player's guide we're planning to add more bonus content later on for players, as with the collectors book that will also get some bonus content

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?

Thanks Chris! I'm looking forward to the rest of the campaign.

Nice to see we've blown past the Player's guide and are now closing in on the models. The GM book looks like a great addition

In for the collectors and already looking for a group. Damn excited for this!
