# Modiphius is Targeting My Wallet tags: #thoughts Christ, [[Modiphus]], you're just busting my wallet today. Three new release pre-orders in the same day with me as the target demo? The guy who has been specializing in GMless and increasingly solo-play tabletop RPGs and wargames? The guy who loves science fiction, zombie stories, and modern warfare? This guy? ![[Five Parsecs From Home - Bug Hunt (cover).jpg|300]] I mean, sure. I was absolutely going to buy the hardback of the **[[Five Parsecs from Home]] Expansion Compendium**. That was inevitable. I've been planning on that one. #game/wargame/five-parsecs > [!link] > > https://modiphius.us/collections/adventure-wargame-winter-collection/products/five-parsecs-from-home-compendium-bug-hunt ![[County Road Z - Rulebook (cover).jpg|300]] I was NOT expecting [[County Road Z]] because I thought the zombie apocalypse rush was over. I was clearly wrong. Immediately, that had to go into my pocket. #game/wargame/county-road-z > [!link] > > https://modiphius.us/collections/adventure-wargame-winter-collection/products/county-road-z-core-rulebook ![[Battlespace - Rulebook (cover).jpg|300]] [[Battlespace]] came out of nowhere. Modern warfare? You've had me at "hello." #game/wargame/battlespace > [!link] > > https://modiphius.us/collections/adventure-wargame-winter-collection/products/battlespace All solo tabletop RPG/wargames, all preorders with the digital version available immediately and the hardbacks coming in April, all announced on the same day (2023-12-15). Ouch, my aching wallet. On the positive side, all of the hardbacks are scheduled to be released in April – so I'm looking at this as a beautiful Christmas gift/birthday gift for myself. Because I like me just that much. Ironically, all three of these games fall into gameplay spaces where I currently – and for quite a while – have had [[Two-Hour Wargames]] lines ([[5150]], [[All Things Zombie]], [[FNG]]) but have been somewhat disenchanted with the most recent releases. Competition is good for the soul.
