Michael Prescott (Trilemma) @fuseboy.bsky.social · 17/09/2026As a new Infinity N5 player with mostly shoot 'em up experience, these tournament missions are pretty intimidating. Cook a three-course meal in the middle of the board while under fire. Oh, and the store is ringed by enemy mines and snipers, and you're all out of onions. You have 13 minutes. 020

Michael Prescott (Trilemma) @fuseboy.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Building an army in Infinity N5 is riddled with painful trade-offs. The way models can use each other's actions means that a primary attack piece can be multiplied in potential by a back row of cheap ones. Stuffing a list with all-stars is surprisingly inefficient! 030
Michael Prescott (Trilemma) @fuseboy.bsky.social · 14/08/2026We're re-watching Heroes, and .. imagine a funnel, everybody gets four newbie supers each, and a masked/anonymous Sylar tears through them, getting them one by one. Whichever ones he gets determine his powers in the rest of the campaign as the survivors go up against him. 2150
Michael Prescott (Trilemma) @fuseboy.bsky.social · 26/07/2026As soon as I read Infinity N5 I wanted to adapt Battletech to it, but now that I've played I think it would be a better fit for Transformers. Theming models in camo as transformed into vehicle mode seems such a natural fit. 030

The daubs of color floating off like dead skin in the isopropyl alcohol, the apparently enamel primer turning to grease, staining my fingers as I visit each of their decisions in reverse, unraveling it, art melting. 1170
Michael Prescott (Trilemma) @fuseboy.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Turns out battlemechs are good mostly because they're full of lost Star League-era automated EW suites.

Michael Prescott (Trilemma) @fuseboy.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Played my first game of Infinity miniatures today and it was every bit as cool as I hoped.

Michael Prescott (Trilemma) @fuseboy.bsky.social · 24/12/2025The inspiration to write a good holiday-themed adventure often arrives mere days from the holiday itself, which by my reckoning is about nine months too late given that you have to actually write it and then schedule a group to play it. 181
