Project Infinity is a dimension hopping game of exploration and adventure set on alternate Earths. In a reality almost identical to our own, a group of scientists has been working on a system to weaken the boundaries between universes, now they have succeeded. Project Infinity is a privately funded operation, whose main base is located on Île du Port, one of the Kerguelen Islands in the southern Indian Ocean, also know as the Desolation Islands. The French Government has a presence at the base. The only way onto or off of the island is by 6 day boat trip. While the Infinity Project is not secret, no one seems to care much about it. It gets little or no publicity and is generally unknown to the population at large. The organization financing the project is called The Infinity Foundation, and little is known about it. The base itself is powered by an advanced fusion reactor. The base is stark, but still comfortable. There is a surprisingly large storage area with en

There are two important considerations when beginning the design of a new campaign. One is as important as the other, and they are actually intertwined, so they both come first. They are Rules set and Genre. Genre is far more than just the setting.

The style of the campaign is really a combination of what you want and what your players want. But that tone determines the best rules set to use. And there are a lot of choices. For a moody atmospheric game that is more into character interaction, White Wolf created World of Darkness. It's great for a game with super pow

I was on my way to becoming a radio engineer. Then a friend said, “hey, you know over at Bob's Comics they play this game called dragons or something. You'd like it.” He had seen an article in the paper. This is the article: ISo, I went on a Saturday morning to have a look at a Dungeons and Dragons game, and my world was never the same again. Now, 40 years later, I work in entertainment. I make movies, television shows, web series, and I take photos at events, where there are people who make movies, television shows and web series. And I still play Dungeons and Dragons and all the – well, most of the – fantastic variants that have sprung from it.  There have been elements from other games and systems that I have really liked, and taken for my own. This has created a mish mosh of rules, but in th
