Modiphius Entertainment Releases Four New Free RPG Quickstarts

Chris Birch and the Modiphius Entertainment team are ringing in the new year by release four brand new quickstart rule books to allow you to dip your toes into a variety of systems.

Here’s the announcement:

Happy New Year from Modiphius! Looking to try something new in 2018? Well why not check out one of our free Quickstarts, four new books have been added to the store, Infinity, Space 1889, Mutant Chronicles and the Elite Dangerous RPG and best of all, they’re all FREE to download!

Allow me to share a little bit of info about each quickstart…

Corvus Belli Infinity (Modiphius Entertainment)Corvus Belli Infinity

This Quickstart gives you an introduction to the 2d20 system, a short adventure, 4 pre-generated characters and an overview of the Infinity universe.

The Infinity universe was launched by Corvus Belli as a hugely-popular tabletop skirmish game in which sci-fi themed miniatures simulated futuristic battles across the alien battlefronts of Paradiso and the internecine conflicts of the Human Sphere. Before there was a skirmish game, though, there was an RPG: Infinity started life as a homemade RPG setting for the early roleplaying adventures of Corvus Belli founders Alberto, Carlos, Fernando, and Gutier. We’ve been playtesting the Infinity RPG with hundreds of people for months, working hard to recapture the excitement of those first sessions and ensure that the feel of the Infinity universe will be captured in your own campaign!

Elite: Dangerous RPG Core Book (Modiphius Entertainment)Elite: Dangerous RPG

This standalone booklet contains a single adventure, The Worst Intentions, for you to play. Included are four pre-generated characters including their ship and equipment. Partial rules for personal combat, spaceship combat and ground combat are also included.

Elite Dangerous the Roleplaying Game is a skill based system using a D10 and a skill bonus to exceed difficulty numbers. You advance by Rank, using the same rank structure as exists in the computer game. You begin as ‘Harmless’ and can make your way all the way up to ‘Deadly’ and then ‘Elite’. Each Rank has a skill cap which is steadily increased as you gain in experience. Character creation begins with you choosing from a number of ‘Backgrounds’ which come with a unique set of skill improvements and personal Enhancements to enable your character to be as unique a person as you are. 

Mutant Chronicles 3rd Edition (Modiphius)Mutant Chronicles Third Edition

Mutant Chronicles takes you on a full-throttle diesel-punk ride through a solar system beset by corporate intrigue and the invasion of the Dark Legion. With technology failing due to the insidious effects of the Dark Symmetry, mankind must fight back against the Dark Legion hordes whilst dealing with in-fighting and conspiracy.

Now, in this FREE quickstart of the 3rd Edition of the definitive techno-fantasy roleplaying game, you can play during the early days of the Dark Symmetry, through to the brutal Corporate Wars. Investigate foul cults as technology turns against mankind, or fight the armies of the Dark Legion as they pour forth from citadels across the colonies in the battle for humanity’s future.

Space 1889 Core Rules (Modiphius Entertainment)Space 1889

Everything Jules Verne could have written. Everything H. G. Wells should have written. Everything Arthur Conan Doyle thought of, but never published – because it was too fantastic.

Space: 1889 brings to life the literary fantasies created by Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, Arthur Conan Doyle, H. R. Haggard, and many others. Space: 1889 is a science fiction roleplaying game in a more civilised time. A time when gentlemen and ladies of good character discover that there are adventures to be found in London’s fogbound alleys just as much as there are on the dusty streets of Syrtis Major on Mars. A time when soldiers might be posted to East Africa or Mars by order of their country; a time when inventors rush to test their latest designs and their latest theories; a time when historians search for the secrets of the ancient Martians; and when wild Venusian Lizard-men and proud Martian steppe warriors must serve their tribes and seek fame and fortune in a time when aliens from Earth have come to their planets.
