FIVE PARSECS FROM HOME: Solo Adventure Wargaming

FIVE PARSECS FROM HOME: Solo Adventure Wargaming
by Sorensen, Ivan

1-227540

Five Parsecs From Home is a 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! Battles are procedurally generated with huge combinations of enemies, weapons, battlefield circumstances, and objectives. 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.
