The Fantasy Infinity project is approaching a rather exciting milestone. Some people who know and game with me in person already know what I mean, others will just have to find out through this site when the time comes. As for right now, I think the time has come for another large, meaty preview of the game. The material I’ve …
Weapon of Choice

Character sheet
Okay, it’s time for the first real teaser for the actual game. Here’s a playtest version of the Fantasy Infinity character sheet, with spaces for recording everything you need to keep the game moving at its characteristic lightning pace!
