I was lucky enough to spend a couple of afternoons playing Infinity in the past week. A couple of folks were keen to get a demo of Infinity, and we arranged to meet at The Dice Cup. I've also signed up for a campaign down in London with HATE as I can get games in online using Tabletop Simulator, and I had my first campaign game.
I'm deeply grateful to Yashar who offered some excellent advice for structuring some demo games. One player was interested in JSA, and the other Bakunin. We ran a first skirmish with three Keisotsu against three Moderators. We then added a Daiyokai and a Penitent Observant, along with the Lieutenant rules. Finally, we wrote two 150 point lists to add a few more rules in and had a small three turn game.
Everyone seemed to have a great time, and I'm hoping we'll get more games in shortly.
Meanwhile, HATE is holding a new narrative campaign, and I've signed up to play with my Shasvastii. I'm not in London as much, but Tabletop Simulator exists. For the first round, I got paired with Yashar for a mission of "Area of Interest", one of the latest season of ITS missions. Yashar returned with their beloved MRRF.
I ended up losing 6-3. I learned to fear the Vystrel, a new defensive piece in Ariadna. I also learned a whole bunch about the challenges of diagonal deployments and how much longer ranges are because of them. I'm incredibly stoked about the new season as a result and my brain is now wanting to play more games to learn more about how these new missions play.
