Five Parsecs From Home 11: The Search of the Franklin

[@whaarp]

Trevor, by the way, all the little mistakes and errors are what makes this series very relatable, human amd charming. Please keep it up this way and don't change a thing! Thanks for all the efforts with editings, from book excerpts to sounds, it's still super appreciated and looking forward to the quest bearing fruits and leading to the final fights!

[@Benneducci]

Yeah, I gotta admit that Disapproving Trevor peeking in when you make a goof is amusing, more amusing than Smug Bono.

[@wanderdragon1075]

Now that you mention it? Yeah. Also I love that he talks about what mistakes he made so we still get the learning benefit

[@jasonGamesMaster]

​@@BenneducciI mean, I'm neither a U2 lover or hater, but Bono's face is very punchable lol

[@Graunstin]

Glad to see these lovable scoundrels back in action, hopefully this session they can be a little more of the former than the latter this time around.

[@mikekobluk]

kathria continues to slay, i hope she gets some recognition LOL

[@Lucifer_Crowe]

I think she must have been some kind of Hitman/Assassin before joining the crew. Who found her again, was it Mara?

[@billn5866]

Yes, he's back! I hope you had a good time. Can't wait to listen while I work.

[@JackStickley]

love your channel. you have a sweet setup for 5 parsecs from home. makes me want to play but id have to use the non wargame battle rules.

[@rockyantimatter]

If only work would finish already so I can watch this without distraction. Excited for tonight's viewing!

[@knightwatchgames]

Thanks for the shout out! We love this series. It always makes me want to roll some dice!

[@spaaaced-t5s]

I'm not much into the fantasy side of things but I love sci fi and especially solo games. And must say this series has so far been one of the most entertaining and genuinely funny things I have watched in a very long time. So much so I am postponing the last couple of episodes because I don't want it to end.

[@ChonmageXIV]

This is a good day! My night of painting minis is saved!

[@Stephen-Fox]

Always enjoyable. Cheers for this.

[@chapmage]

Fantastic job, as always. It makes my day when I see you post new content.

[@QuantemFear]

These games are amazing, i really enjoy these

[@DatOtterZombie1978]

I love this show. I think I'm gonna be sad when it's over. Any plans to make another adventure in FPFH later?

[@SoloAnteelDADO]

Nice to see that they keep going ahead!

[@SootyWebster]

Fantastic series, keep them coming!

[@Psychichazard]

Excellent, as always!

[@jasonGamesMaster]

My brain went straight to U2 as well

[@vortakgames]

Awesome job Trevor as always!

[@wakingupthesith]

Hello Trevor, loving this series, you're making it so much fun and exciting for the solo player. I was wondering where you've gotten your Bot minis from? They look Cool.

[@HausofCraft]

Great report! I thought you rolled that Rex couldn't go on this mission but maybe I misunderstood. Really I don't mind, loved it anyway!

[@zuzoscorner]

That was the patreion job that had that conditon not the quest one

[@LordZhuel]

Where is the radar dish terrain piece from? Love all the hard work. Great stuff, thank you!

[@mikewright8157]

As long as the Trevman is enthused, I am along for the ride.

[@veiledspace]

I think I remember Ivan mentiong the Cling Fire Pistol didn't have the Pistol quality due to balancing, but it's your game, so do as you think makes sense :D I fact that you can fail on the Search mission due to lack of luck on a roll is very wrong in my point of view. I'd either use an increasing chance starting at 4 +1 per failed roll, or always make the last object you search be the objective. I was just getting home thinking if I should play and record the next episode when I saw you published one. Watched it, got hyped, and now I'm about to play :D Thanks! Excellent episode once again

[@chadnine3432]

That's why the game has Story Points. In the end, it's your game, and you can house rule it to your preference. But the Story Point system is there to help smooth out the swinginess of the randomness.

[@veiledspace]

@@chadnine3432 So, game design-wise, using a currency to fix a mechanic flaw is a bad idea. The player feels like he is paying for something he had no control over with a resource that is scarse. It's ok to use it to reroll a loot table you didn't like, or to reroll a casualty that happened in combat, but rerolling something because the mission failed completely due to pure lack of luck is... eh. And this fix I described is common in games. I mean, it's not even a huge change ::shrug::

[@Elkott]

What do you think of the new Star Trek Adventures Solo rules, Captains Log?

[@BeeptheLesser]

Vin is the Boromir of this campaign I swear!

[@jasonnewell7036]

I still miss the playacted character sketch at the beginning.

[@shaneintheuk2026]

Did you go back and work out which Stim packs you didn’t use? I think at least one of them should be added back to your inventory.

[@Rich_H_1972]

Another great AP, Trevor, nice one. That radar dish installation is pretty sweet! Where'd you get it from?

[@dranorter]

I'd be surprised if it wasn't from Battle Systems like the other terrain, from the mailbag video he did. But I don't see it on their website, so maybe not!

[@MGP2210]

32:10 For anyone playing this game: is there a way to have flashcards for everything relevant to a the situation? Some way to prevent/account for forgetting of rules? 😊

[@mistercomment1622]

I hope he doesn't let us wait for too long for a new session.

[@jameswiebe8956]

Did I count correctly? Did Kathria not only get first kill, but did she get 4 total kills in this one? Need to give her the long-range weapon so she doesn't have to keep moving. Let her sit still and snipe everyone. *grin*

[@evilpollo2001]

I'm sure you will know this, but "Mostoles" it's a Spanish city near Madrid (I born in it) and make me laugh

[@odolowa1]

Even though there's not a ton of story or characterization I've kind of gotten attached to these characters. In my mind Stein is this sort of in-over-his-head Han Solo type, while Katria is just a stone-cold killer.

[@ThePixelPear]

As much as I love this series I am really looking forward to the adventures of old. More "random" fantasy story. Whenever you do eventually do season 4(?) It's been so long I can't remember. What system do you think you'll explore?

[@wilywonky]

I too am quivering on the edge of my seat, waiting for S4!

[@jefferydraper4019]

turn 2 Why did you force the 1 on Katria for reaction. She can just go in the slow phase. Vine was in danger and needed to move more than her.
