Modiphius launched their Kickstarter for the Infinity Roleplaying Game, based on Corvus Belli’s incredible sci-fi skirmish miniature game.

Actually, what I should say is that we’ve launched our Kickstarter. I’ve been hired as the line developer for Infinity. I’m also the lead writer for the core rulebook, and I’ll also be personally developing a deluxe campaign supplement for the game that we’ll be unlocking through the stretch goals in the Kickstarter campaign. (Plus, with your support, a dozen other amazing supplements.) If you’re one of the many people who have wanted to see me use node-based scenario design to design a full-fledged, dynamic campaign… well, I’ve finally found a company who shares that vision.

WHAT IS INFINITY?

In the twisted jungles of Paradiso, humanity fights for its survival. The fierce, alien warriors of the Combined Army have poured through the Acheron Gate, descending upon the emerald jungles of the newest colonial world in a seemingly unstoppable torrent. The bestial Morat pound the Paradiso Front, where brave men and women fight ceaselessly to maintain a desperate defensive line which the sly Shasvastii penetrate with devastating ease. In the star-swept skies above, the collected might of humanity’s armadas maintain a life-or-death blockade to cut off an endless horde of alien reinforcements. And if any of humanity’s fractious forces should falter, then all may be lost…

But beyond that terrifying holding action, the intrigues and adventures of the Human Sphere spin on. Space pirates cruise through the shattered planetoids of Human Edge. Scientist adventurers delve the oceans of Varuna. Merchant guilds scheme amidst the scourging sands of Bourak. From Yutang, the Emperor gazes forth from an uneasy throne. Titanic war machines stride across the icy plains of Svalarheima. Byzantine hypercorps struggle for dominance amidst the chrome towers of Neoterra.

For the last ten years, players have tested their mettle upon the battlefields of the Human Sphere in Corvus Belli’s hugely-popular Infinity skirmish game. Now you can expand your adventures, diving deep into the amazing, never-before-seen depths of the Infinity universe with the ultimate science fiction roleplaying game.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be talking more about some of the really cool things we’re developing for Infinity (like the Wilderness of Mirrors scenario structure and the triple battlefields of Warfare, Infowar, and Psywar).

But for right now, I hope you’ll join us on Kickstarter and help us publish what I think is going to be a fantastic game. As I write this, we’ve already blown through three major stretch goals and we’re closing in on the Gamesmaster Guide.
