Corvus Belli's INFINITY Roleplaying Game

Vehicles Rules Preview, Production Update & New Art!
over 8 years ago – Wed, Jun 15, 2016 at 09:43:39 PM

Hi there, today we have new artwork, an update on the core book / schedule, the Vehicles rules preview and a bonus! First of all here's one of those new pieces of art!

VEHICLES PREVIEW

You can find the latest chapter for Vehicles rules in your Backerkit digital downloads (pledges with core books only). The file is called: Infinity Playing Infinity_92_97_lr.pdf

BONUS ADVENTURE!

You will also find a new adventure!  The layout team are currently working on the revision of the Quickstart so it can be printed in 32 pages and so a new adventure was created for this which was just signed off by Corvus Belli. 

Eduardo Teixeira, a duellist in the violent and wildly popular sport of Aristeia!, has been found dead in his berth. He was travelling between worlds on board a Circular, headed to a tournament. It was not a peaceful death. With the media itching for a scoop, and a dangerous new recreational drug spreading onboard the starship, can the agents of Bureau Noir find out who is responsible?

We've included a folder marked Quickstart Adventure inside the core book folder in your Backerkit account so you can download the pre-layout text and (very) rough maps whilst it's in layout and get playing! Let us know your feedback below!

SCHEDULE

Here's an update on the core book and Wave 1 items. Chapters with changed status are in bold. We are getting a regular flow of approvals or revision notes from CB now and these go straight out to the relevant writers to work on. The good news is the massive 50+ page gear, weapons and armour chapter is partly in layout and partly in a 3rd revision with the writer so we expect this to go through layout next to give you the vital equipment stats. 

We should be able to show off the Combined Army tiles in the next update, along with the first of the approved new planetary maps which are looking great. 

We're working closely with CB to make the approvals process as painless as it can be, but even so it is taking longer to process through the chapters. By the end of June we'll be in production on a lot of the other Wave 1 items like the tiles and maps. By then many of the revised chapters should be back with CB for approvals and we hope more of the faction chapters will be in edit and layout as well. As things start to speedup we'll try to give a revised schedule at the end of June for the core book and we'll keep PDF's coming your way.

Production Update & New Art
over 8 years ago – Sun, Jun 12, 2016 at 12:53:01 AM

Hi guys sorry for the slow replies, this week has been a mess after our office suffered a break-in last weekend which has meant lots of security updates, speaking to the police and detectives (we even identified the exact moment they disconnected the computer from the network which surprised the detectives!), setting up new computers, changing endless passwords.... then recovering emails, etc etc.... I could go on. Luckily we work in the cloud and all the important data is secure so don't worry - we didn't lose any chapters! It's just a painful amount of paperwork and 'stuff' to sort out. 

Anyway I know the Vehicles chapter is with Corvus Belli awaiting approval to send out (and has been with them for a few days so hopefully won't be long now).

Our line manager has been down with a stomach bug for some of this week so I'll catch up with him on Tuesday at our weekly meeting so we can send out an updated list of chapters and their status along with other books. We also have a lot of Combined Army tiles to show off next and to make up for the lack of news this weekend here's some cool new artwork from the core book:

Those of you just waiting on dice and miniatures should have had them by now, or will do in the next week if you're the other side of the planet - I'm looking at you Australia and Brazil! The final packages shipped last week. 

Hope you're enjoying the weekend and getting some games of Infinity in!

Quick update! INFINITY dice are shipping!
over 8 years ago – Thu, Jun 02, 2016 at 12:40:58 AM

Hi guys i'm travelling as we have the big uk games expo on this weekend setting up tomorrow.

Good news is the dice have arrived and the warehouse plans to ship orders that are just waiting on dice from Friday onwards. Depending where you are in the world these could take from 3-14 days to arrive (shipping from the uk).

Yes you can pay extra to get an early shipment of dice and minis - please message www.modiphius.com/support however please expect that replies will likely not be till middle of next week to allow time for the team to get back and check the pricing for you.

After more checks we have several hundred people ignoring emails about unpaid postage some of whom won't be getting their dice and minis shipments. We are contacting people slowly but if you don't get an order you are expecting please check your backerkit to make sure you paid your postage :-)

I have a lot of new art to show off and will aim to send this out along with a production update in the next few days with news of the latest approvals. We should get the vehicle chapter any time now to share and I'm still chasing the gear text which should also be ready imminently.

Revised Action Scenes PLUS Psywar PREVIEW
over 8 years ago – Tue, May 24, 2016 at 12:14:55 AM

Hi everyone, a quick update this morning to let you know that the revised Action Scenes chapter has been updated based on feedback from you all, mostly clarifying various terms but also adding the missing Psywar section!

You can download it from your Backerkit account as long as you have the core book in your pledge. 

Good news the Infinity dice should be with us in a few days - a VAST pile of d20's, Hit Location and Combat Dice. As soon as they are it will trigger further shipments that were just waiting on those. We'll confirm when they start shipping. 

The Vehicles chapter is in layout at the moment and I'm chasing up the draft text of the gear chapter for you to start getting your teeth in to that. 

I hope you all had a great weekend, at least better than these guys!

Enjoy!

Revised Introduction Chapter Available
over 8 years ago – Wed, May 18, 2016 at 09:59:29 PM

Hi folks quick update from Minsk in Belarus where we're visiting family. 

The Introduction chapter has been updated with the revised How To Play - just look for the Infinity Introduction 2-30_ldr.PDF file. This includes clarifications to rules based on your feedback. 

In the next day or so we should have the Psywar Chapter finally, plus a revised Acton Scenes section again based on your feedback. 

Please login to your Backerkit Account to download the file. 

That's all for now, I'll update you when Psywar is ready for action!

Enjoy!
