So I get one mini at the big pledge level?

Unfortunately that's all I was here for, I'm out.

*edit
Never mind found the add ons in this mess.

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.

The big pledge is the hand numbered limited edition deluxe core book which will get some upgrades of bonus intent. There will be a big box set including all 6 minis plus lots more stuff.

Yeah I'm not interested in the book at all. Nothing against CB or MōD, but I just don't have an RPG group.

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.

I was curious about what the difference between the collector's edition of the rulebook and the regular one was. So it's more than just being hardback?

would be nice.

that unlock option is kinda crazy though. ill back maybe later im not sure i can atm

So if I just want the 6 minis, Can I just do the $1 pledge and then change my amount to $58.80 (6 x $9.80)?

You have to pick a level with access to ad ons. First one being PDF core book at $30.

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?

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

Thanks! Do I have to pledge a certain amount now to avoid missing out on anything later? Sorry, I've never really done Kickstarter before.

Have they announced prices for the miniatures and the 'faction books' yet?

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.

it's limited edition, hand numbered, with black edged pages, deluxe finish and we will be unlocking extra content for the book

Alpharius wrote:Have they announced prices for the miniatures and the 'faction books' yet?

Minis are £6.50 each and faction books will be £12 each - in shops they'll be £16-£18 each. We've keep the price right down for everyone

Wow, funding in 1 hour? Well done guys!

Oh yes, I'm a sucker for slightly fancier than usual books

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.

@modiphus

Totally understand. at it's core this KS is about the RPG anyway.

Best of luck to you guys.

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

Perhaps I missed it in the description: are these going to be hard cover books?

The main book is hardback, with the player one being (currently) paperback. I can see a potential future stretch that makes it full colour and hardback (fingers crossed!).

This is covered in the Add-On descriptions

It's a low cost for a supplement, but I gather there will be one per faction?

Oh, another stretch goal has just been added to the list. At £100,000 we'll be unlocking the Nomad source book

Don't know if we'll unlock all 8 (?) sourcebooks at that pace!

Given the £100k goal, I would say yes to one per faction. The list in the questionnaire is a good guide of what they are aiming for: http://www.modiphius.com/surveys.html

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

I missed the social goals unlocked too.

We now have conversion rules for porting your rpg character onto the tabletop and some pregenerated characters that are based upon the 4 original CB characters.

GM Guide unlocked.

The core book is yes, if things go well we'll aim to convert some or all to hardbacks

At the moment, we might integrate some of the extended supplements to reduce the number of beg adding a planet book to camaign

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.

The PRINT & PDF MASTER pledge includes a PDF Player's Guide, right?

I would assume so. The second stretch goal was to add that to any pledge with a core book, which the Print and PDF master has.

Any idea what psywar is? Infowar is hacking and anything hacker related, but I don't recall anything resembling psywar.

yep, and the players guide and collectors edition are both due upgrades later on

Does the PDF master count as having a core? Or do you need to spring for a printed core book?

Question about character design:

A lot of noise has been made about the (admittedly fantastic) RPG miniatures. However, does character creation lend itself towards the current military units in the game?

If for example, I wanted to run a campaign where my players were a Hassassin team working their way through some areas of Bourak infiltrated by Nomad military forces trying to steal Silk, would the character creation tools cover what's available for Infinity, or would we have to put together 'best fits' of what's there?

Hell of a first day - congrats!

And so, I take this back:

We should see all 8 and then some unlocked!
