Five Parsecs From Home: Solo Adventure Wargaming

A solo sci-fi wargame that sends a small crew of mercenaries, traders and explorers across a procedurally generated galaxy of missions, jobs and encounters. Combat plays out on modular scenarios that combine enemy types, objectives, battlefield conditions and weapons; outcomes use a compact dice-driven system and are resolved for individual crew members and their equipment. Between battles players manage crew progression, recruit replacements, trade, upgrade a starship and follow linked narrative scenarios that unfold through random tables for towns, events and travel. The game is designed for solo play and is miniatures-agnostic, requiring only a few small figures and basic dice.
