Five Parsecs From Home 1: The Crash Site

[@bizzy5439]

2 things, Trevor: 1. Your laughter MAKES every show you do 2. The sound effects added a ton to this! Super interesting game and thank you for showcasing it so clearly and with plenty of entertainment!

[@chopstyx141]

Finally Trevor, I can only re watch the older seasons so many times. Thanks.

[@valentinpoix1727]

I also re watched the previous seasons... this chanel is so cool 😎

[@chopstyx141]

@@valentinpoix1727 no lie, I rewatched or relistened to all 3 seasons about 4 times now because I haven't found another series like this. I'm mostly just listening to them at work tho.

@@chopstyx141 Have you checked out a channel called “The Bad Spot”? Its a solo RPG channel playing Ironsworn : Starforged. His style is very similar to Trevors.

[@AnotherGuyProductions]

Five parsecs was my first ever tabletop game, discovered it looking for board games, made paper standees with some spare cardstock and played for a couple months. So glad you're doing this series!

[@AdriRaven]

Wow, what a pleasant surprise after such a long, tense, stressful day!

[@alphaskag1878]

The random table roles flowed together to create an interesting story, kinda like a lost episode of Firefly, great enthusiastic narrative during the action phase, very entertaining to watch 😊 I will be hopefully picking up this book in the near future

[@alejotm000]

So glad we didn't have to wait as long as with the previous seasons, haha. This is awesome, as expected!

[@kippbeard5624]

I just stumbled upon your video in 2024 this is far one of the best battle reports I've ever seen I love the enthusiasm I love the special effects and you made me a subscriber

[@chopstyx141]

The production value for this video is top tier Trevor. Great job and welcome back.

[@lgalexan86]

I love the landscape with all the obstacles and ship, plus the action! Somebody panics 😅

[@doomhippie6673]

I'm pretty certain that Jenna, being a political agent, got lost in some James Bond action with a hot contact (hence the rumor she picked up). These little things actually bring a lot of rpg vibes into games - which to me is the most important thing. Thanks for this series - I just got myself a copy of this game. I actually play it on a vtt as I really don't want to start collecting even mor miniatures.

[@morneschaap2944]

That is a cool idea! Can't believe I did not think of that. *shakes head*

[@jamesrizza2640]

I don't normally watch people playing a game, but your enthusiasm in playing was contagious. I am making a set of characters so I can play this game. I have had the book for a while now so.... Great video love watching you play and improvise the story on the fly. Fun to watch.

[@_Crunchy]

For no real reason I recently made a space ship crew, just the characters, no system. This game system looks perfect for actually bringing them to life (and hopefully not death).

[@AlwayzFresh]

Ahh, Jennifer Walker, the heiress to the Walker family ship fortune. "Why walk when you can fly, with Walker" I believe the slogan went. The cloud of her family name hangs heavy, since her family pays well to maintain the foothold over local shipping sales and lanes. Often those who fall on the wrong side of the Walker family politics end up with regrettable ends. This mission was her first chance to prove not only her independence, but also her desire to do good in the galaxy. She has a lot to lose, and her reputation to gain. Bring on the adventure! I made up my own story based on her starting rolls ;-) PS, this gave me an idea to build a crashed ship incense holder. It will hold both types. The small triangle ones in the cockpit, and the long stick inside the body. Smoke will be coming out of both ends. Now, 3D print or something more traditional?

[@elijahedmondson6270]

That's an amazing idea!

[@jasonbrown5131]

First game play video of yours I’ve seen. And I’ve got to say it was very well done. You bring real energy to the game that I don’t think I could manage all by myself in front of a camera. Great job, I’ll definitely be watching more of your videos. Thank you for sharing the play through with us.

[@cs319103]

First time seeing your channel, and I am extremely impressed. I picked up 5 Parsecs earlier this year, but I havent had a chance to crack it open yet. Your presentation inspired me to start rolling up a team and diving in. I love the way you take your acting and creativity and blast it into your gaming with full force. Your multi-camera setup is perfect to get a full board view. Your narration of events, the thought processes of all of the characters, and the explanation and reminder of the rules while playing is top notch. I'll be tuned in for the future battle reports. Great Job!

[@artistpoet5253]

I love your imagination. When I played my first game I used a bunch of NPC reaction and random event tables.

[@mariuszjuchno2570]

Wow! A Tarsus model! Brings back a lot of memories of my privateering times...

[@housecaldwell]

THAT'S where I know it from!!!! TY - that was driving me crazy.

[@JennerNuwen32]

I zeroed in on that as well. I really want that model!

[@hedkase1313]

The Alien merchant sounded like Zoidberg

[@death2all79zx]

Wow, a Tarsus from WC:Privateer. Now you need a Orion, Galaxy and Centurion to round out the collection.

[@DarrinSK]

Super glad you in particular found this game

[@seamusp5991]

Amazing. I just discovered your channel and have made my way through 35 videos in two days. Lol. Better than chocolate cake!

[@justincolussy-estes8447]

Looking forward to this! I've been drawn to a few "hybrid" skirmish/ttrpg games of late, but haven't dipped my toe yet. Thank you for leading the way!

[@harringtonmartin]

Such an amazing game. Glad you made this, Trevor. I've been on the Five Parsecs bandwagon for a while now. Love it, love it, love it. Also, Five Leagues From The Borderlands is an amazing fantasy version of the game, with a low fantasy vibe.

[@peterixon8708]

Great retelling of your story. Loved the split between working through the rule book, then playing out the scenario with miniatures, then the follow-up. So impressed, I bought the rule book because of your video. Thanks.

[@MiniWarMutt]

Awesome! This is a great game with both RPG and Miniature wargaming! You will have a blast! Limitless options limitless game time!

[@capi3101]

Howdy Trevor, loved the episode. As some folks have already noted, the ship prop is definitely a model of a Tarsus-class Merchant Scout from Wing Commander Privateer (the one you start the game with, if anybody remembers thirty-year-old video games). Some folks over on the Wing Commander fan community Discord would like to know where you got it; they're always excited to see anything WC these days...

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

It was sent to me by a viewer.

[@GrungefolkBoy2010]

7 Minutes in and I know this is gonna be a fun series! Have a blast Trevor! 😁 Also, the editing so far is top notch super smooth sir.👍

[@stevenvandevyvere8424]

This is a great first look at Five Parsecs from Home. I can't wait to see the next one, and am curious if, in spite of being designed to be specifically for solo play it can be expanded to multiple players on the same "team"

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

I believe there are rules for co-op play in the pdf expansion.

[@axanax2534]

Yes sir, rules as written you split the crew between players. We've tested it with multiple crews on a bigger battlefield and that works as well, though players working cooperatively together weaken the AI. Now if you had one malicious fellow controlling the opposing forces.... 😈

[@jiminyjickers]

Love the Privateer ship!! One of my favourite games of all time.

[@sweetpotatodato6068]

I’ve only played fantasy ttrpgs so I’ve been in the mood to try out a space adventure themed game and this one looks like a lot of fun so I think I’ll buy it and give it a try. Looking forward to more episodes!

[@arugulatarsus]

Thrilled to see a tarsus. I think it's a similar model to mine, (thingyverse) but much better painted.

[@andyslack4728]

As always, much easier to see how the game works from seeing it played than just reading it. Thanks for this!

[@nettaros9432]

Hi Trevor!, loved the video!. When you mentioned that you were going to try 5 Parsecs i did some research and loved the type of game it is. After 10 campaign turns i must say that is really fun to play and make connections between the events that the crew get themselves into. Will be waiting for Turn 2!.

[@JevousGaming]

Oh man, I can’t wait! Love 5P! This is gonna be a treat!

[@moh.syafrianabie8899]

Yesss more solo roleplay. Thank you very much

Extremely enjoyable. Wow what a change of pace. You do miniatures gaming so well, perfect mix of narrative table top wargaming and role play... love it love it love it.

[@momaw627]

Love this! As a bonus, your voice reminds me of Martin Short's amazing character, Jiminy Glick \m/

[@rogerb181]

Your enthusiastic narration and the sound effects brought a mini battle to life, and the top shelf battlefield layout looked great!

[@CelticpredGaming]

Watching this while waiting for season 4 after binging the first 3 seasons the past 2 weeks, I miss Simon, Arn and Edbert!

[@markh3684]

the first turn caught off guard really feels like "there were survivors? and they're fighting back!?!"

[@Slydeish]

Fantastic! I love the setting and your story telling ability is unmatched.

[@itsio7188]

This was super fun! All those terrain pieces, buildings and such, amazing

[@tylerh2548]

This was a blast! Vine blowing the head off the berserk Abdandoned at point blank as it tried to charge him was quite the cinematic moment. So far, the crew seem quite the calculating and coordinated mercenaries; great "spec-ops" vibes. The undercity gang scientist could become the Furious's black market doctor: surgery and drugs. And the whole time, the covert agent was in some solo story development arc in the big city - it could even be that it was SHE who uncovered the old map while the rest of the crew was on mission!!

[@mg1342mg]

Glad to watch you again. I haven't stopped by since watching a D&D solo you did. Five Parsecs is so much fun. I love all the planning and watching your crew mature. And a great excuse to buy new minis and make terrain. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@DogSniffing]

This pushed me to order the game book and start looking around my house for possible locations to set up a new table or desk for gameplay. Your videos are a great treat and thanks a ton for making them and providing me with great insight with your reviews. Cheers!

[@TomeAlone]

Finally this one is going to be EPIC!

[@Mykuss001us]

Trevor, 1- Anybody tell you that you look and sound so much like Adam Savage from Mythbusters? 2 - Where did you get the Sci-Fi Action Miniatures ?? 3 -Great Storytelling!! Will Subscribe and be watching out you!

[@HausofCraft]

Yesssss! Once I heard you were doing 5 Parsecs I purchased the hardcover book immediately. I love the game, I love that you are running it and I love the personal touch you put on it. Your first session went a lot smoother than mine. My first mission was Roidgangers with a unique individual. Lets just say I wiped. Great show and love the crash site! I hope you continue putting up your campaign turns for a long time because I'm already hooked!!!!!

[@StudioArkhein]

Thanks for running this. I've been looking forward to it.

[@starpulse06]

[@toddbutcher1784]

This is exciting! My gaming group plays this regularly and we love it. Excellent work as always my good man!

[@Martionize]

This was a great episode. I always enjoy seeing these miniature skirmish games because I could never really have the space or time to play them myself. It would've been nice I think to maybe just have a minute of Kale and Vinn having that heartfelt conversation in the Med-bay about the previous mission just so we could start to get to know some of these characters a little bit more in the story sense (even if this is more on the battle side) just so we're rooting for them to roll well to defeat their rivals and accomplish their goals and things but I think that will also just happen by itself as we play more missions.

[@danj1101]

Great change of pace and always grateful for more MMD between seasons! Looking forward to seeing how this all evolves 😄 Love the Dash Rendar shout out

Thanks a bunch for doing this! I'd been hoping to see One Stop Co-op Shop continue their coverage on it, I'm glad you're picking it up to show us your story! I need to clear off my ping-pong table to set this back up and continue where I left off!

[@andysimmons2648]

An excellent start to, what I am sure will be, an great campaign. I’ve seen Five Parsecs from Home but this is the first time I’ve seen it played. It looks really good and I can’t wait to see the next episode.

[@markbruno72]

Perfect timing! I JUST started reading the core rules last night. Can't wait to see how the new season unfolds, Mr. Devall!

[@xerovas6770]

Just found this after seeing you on acg's podcast. This is amazing and so freaking cool. Great job and passion.

[@PuppaSmirk]

This was amazing, I love 5 Parsecs from Home and I really enjoyed watching you bring this to life. I also loved the crashed starship setup and the flickering, smoking blaze was a delightful effect. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next campaign turn. When you were talking about what the VIP found in the ship I thought it was going to be the thing that caused the crew to go crazy, maybe some kind of ancient alien tech that could be the harbinger of a new type of planetary invasion.

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

That’s a great idea…!

[@dalt220]

I've been curious about this game for ages! I hope this was as much fun to film as it was to watch (because it was a ton of fun to watch)!!

[@Rich_H_1972]

Awesome stuff Trevor, this was a great watch and you really brought this game (which is sat on my shelf) to life for me! Much appreciated and all the best!

[@ruolbu]

What I love about this is that even without any acting, without any dialog and with minimal visuals, my mind is racing to fill in the gaps, creating something like a story board for some sci fic show, my own little gundam anime essentially xD

[@johnfrancis3203]

This is really cool. I watched someone who explained what Warhammer 40k was like and this reminds me of that

[@magicmike29]

Ooooo! Shiny new credits, shiny, shiny, shiny. I have a theory why Jenna got lost in the marketplace, she was looking for a Turkish barber, or planetary equivalent, to give her a hot shave as she had some mean five o'clock shadow going on and she felt embarrassed to go into potential combat with a chin coarser than sandpaper. Good start to the season and entertaining as always.

[@ronwisegamgee]

I get that this isn't a roleplaying game...but I really miss the roleplaying aspect of this type of show. That's what adds the human element that adds flesh and blood to the skeleton of the systems and the rolls! Other than that, I appreciate being able to see this game in action to see what it's all about.

[@axanax2534]

Well, there's a lot of great batreps in the playlist but this one definitely takes the award for being the liveliest! Very enjoyable, I can see why people were excited to see you play the game. I'd love to see what you could do with Weasel-Tech and its Social System.
