CB: Hey guys I'm in charge of the Infinity RPG from Modiphius - happy to answer any questions about what's to come!
Q: So how's character creation so far?
CB: It will be a cool lifepath system as well as points buy for creating that specific figure or character you like.
Q:What dice will be involved in the game?
CB: 2 x d20's - we typically have up to 5 for each player in Mutant Chronicles as you can 'buy' extra's at a cost, though we don't know if this extension will make it in the Infinity version. The idea is to give you the chance to get multiple successes and spend those doing awesome things
Q: Are there going to be faction books?
CB: Yes they'll go in to the worlds and resources of each faction, what life is like and much more, tailored character generation life paths, specific equipment, adventure seeds...
Q: Will the game itself have the Human Sphere as the main POV, or will EI/Tohaa campaigns be a play possibility?
CB: Tohaa characters will certainly be possibly, we're still discussing whether Combined Army characters should be playable.
Q: How will character classes work? How many will be available?
CB: You will have careers that add skills, equipment, talents and attribute bonuses, then Iconic roles will let you be part of famous organisations for each faction. There will be many more with each faction book
Q: Are you guys going to try and keep some stats from the miniature game like you guys did with dust?
CB: We'll be keeping as many familiar elements as we can.
Q: What happens if your buddy wants to choose an opposing faction as you? Or a whole group all want to do different factions.
CB: That's fine - remember the factions are not in open war, and there will be plenty of ways to get caught up together, assigned to work together or just finding some common friends in a goal. We've got some specific organisations that will encourage co-operation, and there's many story hooks to dump a bunch of misfits together.
Q: I am assuming that combat will be handled by the current miniature game system, so the stats will be similar and compatible, correct? that way we can take custom characters into Non-tournament matches.
CB: No it will use the 2d20 rpg system - but this is also a roll under a target number on multiple d20's and you'll find many familiar things in it. Corvus Belli tried several times to convert the system and were not happy. There goal is to ensure we can tell Infinity stories. 2d20 will let you have multiple action scenes in one session that would have taken 2 hours each in the tabletop rules. However we will be providing means to convert your favorite characters to the RPG and back again.
Q: As long as it comes with a conversion system well manage, was hoping for a simple way to generate mission NPCs by using the current army lists. from the combat game
CB: You'll have all the main npc's listed and we're looking at a deck of cards for npc's, locations etc that let's you quickly generate missions - by plan, or randomly.

Q: Any idea how much original art will be in the book? and will you be using the same amazing artists CB does?
CB: There will be existing and new art - we're not sure yet who'll we'll be using - it depends if people are available.
Q: Can we pre-order using PayPal? My credit card gets a bit frantic when I purchase something in British Pounds.
