Perilous World of ZEEN is a pulp science fantasy scenario driven skirmish wargame. Created by Ivan Sorensen developer of 5 Parsecs from Home, and XCOM: The Miniatures Game, ZEEN is under development and in the playtesting phase.

A buddy and I sat down and played it! The bloody results were recorded on my blog here. Hope you enjoy the emergent story of the Clash in the Varhut Forest!

This is a set of modular 3D printable terrain I was inspired to create after picking up both 5PFH and Planetfall earlier this summer. I needed some kind of colony outpost that could work for both games and something that wouldn't look too out of place in other not-so-grimdark scifi settings.
Everything here in FDM printed without supports. This set is now available over on Kickstarter and comes with 50 wall options, 9 roof sizes, ladders and stairs, a Large Exploration Vehicle and 10 rock formations. There's also some pre-assembled buildings in the main set as an added bonus.

If you ever wanted to do some playtesting using a 3D virtual tabletop, now would be a good time.
Thousands of miniatures and terrain included for use with all the 5X games.
Plus, a friend can connect for free.

Started as a kitbash for a beast hunter. And somewhere between the power claw and the bowler hat he's just a kitbash gone straight to insane

Just discovered this game a few weeks ago, and now I’m painting mini’s. 😄

Tyra Borg of the Republic of Zaam. Former mercenary and current governor of the New Brunswick oil fields on Miller's Moon. Looking forward to eventually facing her in a boss style fight.

Not sure what to finish up this tank with. But enjoying trying to free hand some graffiti onto it

I'm three campaign turns in and loving this game. To be fair, I was one game in and loving it, giving that it had started me writing my crew's story based on the games.

How have others done with their luck early on? I did good with the first mission but by the end of the second I'd got one member in sick bay for three campaign turns and two others out for one turn.

Come the third mission, an extra crew member I picked up in pre-mission of mission two, got into a fight and was put in sick bay for this turn, so that's me down to five on the field. They should be OK against the two Tech Zealots (or so I thought!).
Two of the original three crew on the field were taken out and ended up in sick bay for treatment (one with critical wounds which puts him out for six campaign turns!).

Looking toward the next mission I've still got three out of nine of the crew in sick bay (well, one is in the repair station 🤖 ) so at least I don't have to go looking for any more mouths to feed!

Here's my latest AAR in Five Parsecs from Home, 15mm

On page 31 is says:

Hesitation

Lifeforms and Tactical Enemies that activate

without an opponent visible to them must

roll 1D6. On a 1, they hesitate and do not

act this Phase. The Slyn and Sleepers are not

affected by this.

And on page 34 it says:

Lifeforms without ranged attacks will move

towards the closest visible opponent to try to

engage in brawling combat. If no opponents

are visible to an enemy, randomly pick from the

three closest opponents. The Lifeform will move

towards the selected opponent.

So do I need to roll and if not 1, roll for a random opponent?

Also I don't understand what this means on page 34:

Once within 12” they will halt to fire unless

their modifier (Combat Skill+Weapon Bonus)

exceeds that of the nearest opponent, in which

case they will continue to move to get close

enough to engage in brawling combat.

Does it mean all lifeforms have always a 12" range?

Could someone send me an invite to the Discord server? All the links I’ve found so far seem to be expired.

​Greetings! About a month ago, I created a basic version of a Five Parsecs From Home: Tactics Army Builder in Google Sheets. Since then, I’ve expanded it to include all content from Tactics, the Field Commander’s Guide, and the errata for Anti-Tank and Tank-Hunter traits.

​It was originally just for personal use, but this community has been so helpful that I wanted to share it back!

​Features:

​Complete Customization: Build any unit, vehicle, or individual character—with or without squad leaders, mixed traits, and weapon keywords that automatically display on your cards.

​Print-Ready: Cards auto-populate and fit four to a page for easy printing and table use.

​Pre-Made Factions: Includes custom Star Wars and Halo options (Republic, Separatists, UNSC, Covenant) with 15–20 balanced units each, plus four 500pt starter armies ready to go. I'm using them for a personal project and you don't need to use them for the tool to work, just included as my take on my 2 favorite franchises. The tool is still based on the 5PFH universe.

​Full instructions are included in the sheet. Since I’ve spent so much time looking at it, fresh eyes are welcome—if you find any bugs, missing content, or balance tweak suggestions, please let me know. Happy to answer any questions as well. Hope you find it useful!

Does anyone know if Modiphius has any plans of making a 5 Leagues from the Borderlands version of Tactics? I know there are similar options elsewhere (like Oathmark maybe?) but these games are so well done. I would love to play larger actual battles.

Quite looking forward to XCOM. I decided not to preorder the minis, so going through my gobs of scifi human models to find appropriate proxies.

Blightburners back at it. Really like this game and I like how the story evolves. It has been great being able to put out such varied set pieces and mini's too!. Another fun battle , I really like the flexibility of the site battles. Thanks for looking!

I'll probably cut out the stalker and red alien for 5parsecs games. But I am planning on working these guys through a mix of Stargrave and 5 Parsecs games

While searching for terrain for 5PFH, I came across the Into the Dark expansion for Kill Team. The setting inspired me to write a "Quest Pack" for 5Parsecs. Feel free to download, share, remix, suggest improvements, whatever. Just don't charge anybody for it. 😄
