Modiphius Entertainment: Five Parsecs From Home - Solo Adventure Wargaming


Modiphius Entertainment: Five Parsecs From Home is an rpg-lite solo adventure wargame where you assemble a ragtag crew of galactic trailblazers and head out to explore the stars, pick up jobs, and every now and then — engage in some action-packed, sci-fi combat! Check these rules here

Battles are procedurally generated with huge combinations of enemies, weapons, battlefield circumstances and objectives whether fighting rivals or carrying out jobs. With each encounter you earn experience and loot, progressing your crew and story as you send your crew to look for contacts, trade, explore the colony, recruit replacements or train up their skills. The game is playable with any miniatures you have on hand and requires only a small number to get started, making it ideal for both experienced and new science fiction gamers. All you need is a few six-sided dice and a couple of ten-sided dice.

Excellent! I am trying to order my set of rules after missing the pre-order. Based upon my experience with other "5 [pick a unit of distnace] from [pick a place]" games, I expect this to be excellent!

Will most likely also grab these rules in the future as they sound really good and the solo part is also useful.
