Infinity GM Screen + Code Infinity release in print

26/3/2019

Modiphius is pleased to announce the release of the Infinity GM Screen + Code Infinity package as a physical product.

The Infinity GM Screen + Code Infinity is available exclusively on Modiphius.net as part of the Infinity Collection.

GM Screen + CODE: INFINITY — CLASSIFIED
Despite presenting a unified front against the relentless predations of the Combined Army, the factions of the Human Sphere constantly manoeuvre for status and gain. Clandestine meetings lead to new alliances, covet operations shatter old, quantronic warfare prises open the secrets of rivals, and new technological advancements render other factions’ developments obsolete.

Plots and counterplots simmer constantly beneath the thin veneer of civility called the Human Sphere, all largely kept hidden from the ever-connected eye of a citizenry that is ever-connected and relentlessly hungry for news. Protecting the bulk of the Human Sphere from the worst of these interminable events is an arduous and often thankless task.

Luckily, safeguards such as the Infinity the Roleplaying Game GM Screen are available to shield your players from the worst secrets the Human Sphere has to offer.
Contains:

A four-panel screen that presents action-packed artwork to the players.
Handy charts and tables on the interior designed to ensure games remain focussed on the action.
A 32-page booklet containing two unique adventures, both including new maps, Wilderness of Mirrors objectives, and unique villains.
A treatise on Recreations, those ancient heroes reconstructed by ALEPH to once again offer their wisdom and glory to the Human Sphere.

John Carter Core Book

"My attention was quickly riveted by a large red star close to the distant horizon. As I gazed upon it I felt a spell of overpowering fascination—it was Mars, the god of war, and for me, the fighting man, it had always held the power of irresistible enchantment. As I gazed at it on that far-gone night it seemed to call across the unthinkable void, to lure me to it…"

Edgar Rice Burrough’s John Carter of Mars: Adventures on the Dying World of Barsoom transports you to the Red Planet of Barsoom, an arid, dying land of ancient civilizations and fearsome creatures. Begin your adventures of romance and heroism using a pulp-action inspired variant of the 2d20 System. Take on the role of heroes as you travel, battle, and romance your way across the wondrous and dangerous world of Barsoom. Play as John Carter, Princess Dejah Thoris, the fearsome Thark warrior Tars Tarkas – or create your own heroes from an exciting variety of options.

An overview of Barsoom and its peoples, perfect to introduce new players to the wondrous world of John Carter of Mars.

Detailed chapters on Barsoomian technology, creatures and cultures.
A new talent focused, narrative variation of the 2d20 System including a step-by-step character generation system designed to create heroes from a variety of backgrounds and concepts.

Create a wide variety of characters such as a Dashing Red Martian Duelist, a Brilliant First Born Scientist, a Savage Beastmaster, a Courageous Airship Officer, even Earthborn characters, so players can follow in the bounding footsteps of John Carter himself!

A detailed narrator's section filled with information on how to run genre-and-setting appropriate campaigns, including information about the great and terrible secrets of Barsoom.

Three eras of play based on the adventures of John Carter himself. Adventure during the Dotar Sojat era, or adventure during the time where Carter became a Prince of Helium and in the years after when he was believed dead, or fight alongside Carter and his allies during the later Jeddak of Jeddaks era.
An introductory adventure, the Mind Merchants of Mars, to get players and narrators started on their adventures and immersed in the world of Barsoom.

Phantoms of Mars

Uncover the nefarious conspiracy of the mysterious organisation known as the Eidolon as you adventure your way across Barsoom to save the people of the dying planet. Phantoms of Mars will take your heroes on a journey full of pulp-action, intrigue and heroism as they race to uncover the Eidolon conspiracy and see just how far it has spread.

Released in August it features a huge range of highly detailed 32mm scale resin miniatures plus rules for narrative wargaming in the wasteland with co-op, vs and solo modes of play. Fallout: Wasteland Warfare game designer James Sheahan is developing a roleplaying game expansion for the miniatures game which will include new rules for character creation, creating adventures in the wasteland, and more.
Long-time fan, and head of roleplaying game development at Modiphius Entertainment, Sam Webb (Star Trek Adventures) will lead development of the 2d20 System version for a more in-depth tabletop roleplaying game experience.

Modiphius named by Iron GM Games as worldwide distributor of Grimmerspace - a sci-fi horror RPG co-developed by actor Sean Astin

5/3/2019

0 Comments

Modiphius is proud to announce an exciting deal with Iron GM Games that makes Modiphius the worldwide distributor of Grimmerspace which is coming to Kickstarter in May 2019. Grimmerspace is a sci-fi horror RPG setting for the hit Starfinder™ roleplaying game by Paizo Publishing, co-developed by beloved actor/director Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings, Stranger Things), along with award-winning game designers Lou Agresta and Rone Barton.

Grimmerspace is set in a non-magical, science-fiction horror universe, and the citizens of Grimmerspace (“Grimmers”) are veterans of fighting alien abominations from the depths. Despite its strangeness and its terrors, their's remains a rational, scientific reality. Until now.

The Grimmers don't know it yet, but the evil Sundermages -- near-immortal sorcerers wielding godlike power -- ripped into their universe not long ago through a vast tear in space-time called the Seethe. As the Seethe leaks magic into their galaxy for the first time, the Sundermages plot from the shadows to conquer the five distinct, technological civilizations of Grimmerspace. Soon, science and magic will come to world-ending blows.

Let Sean tell you more about Grimmerspace in this broadcast straight from the depths…

Grimmerspace takes place in the Gilding Rim Galaxy, aka the G-Rim. The core narrative tension of the universe is a conflict between technology and magic as the galaxy, previously devoid of magic, is flipped upside down by the arrival of powerful mages. Will you choose bullets or fireballs to wage war against alien horrors?
The 2019 fully funded Grimmerspace Kickstarter will include five game books and a quick-start guide so that you can get right into the action.

The Grimmerspace: Sci-Fi Setting and Adventures book offers over 14 adventures that explore 14 unique locales across the Gliding Rim galaxy. Learn more about these regions, their riches, the civilizations that vie to control them, and the terrors that lie in wait during the Grimmerspace Kickstarter
From the twisted mind of horror master Richard Pett comes Abattoir 8, the chilling tale of a sub-orbital meat processing plant gone dark. We’re giving it away, but get on the list for early access! Learn more about Abattoir 8, its place in the 48-page adventure Casket of the Cull, and receiving your print copy during the Grimmerspace Kickstarter
Grimmerspace comes with a free, easy-to-download Jumpstart guide so you can get right into the action, whether you're new to roleplaying games or haven't played in years. In fact, you can grab the Jumpstart for free even if that’s all you decide to do, just by visiting the Grimmerspace Kickstarter page.
Modiphius will be assisting Iron GM Games with marketing and logistical support to help Grimmerspace reach a much wider audience and is using their long experience with crowdfunding to consult and advise the team on delivering a successful Kickstarter project.
Actor Sean Astin is creative developer on Grimmerspace, injecting his considerable experience within science fiction and fantasy worlds into the eclectic mix of sci-fi horror that is Grimmerspace.
Rone Barton is an award - winning game designer and podcaster who is now the co-founder of Iron GM games and co-producer of the Iron GM Tournament.
Lou Agresta is a game designer and novelist who delivered the five time Ennie- nominated Razor Coast and developed Heart of the Razor, its award - winning companion novel.
