Five Parsecs from Home 7-9 : To The Point

The crew are FINALLY off to explore! On the first planet, they come across a warband of the reptilian enemies they've been fighting recently - it seems they're building up for something...

I'm already subscribed, I have liked the video and this is my comment. We have a deal. I expect you to uphold it. But seriously, good mission. I love those cactus; I remember many decades ago of having my own with ping-pong balls and toothpicks, but I never glued the spikes in so they kept falling out. I might have to have another go at'em. I hereby use a Story Point to make all mention of Quest Missions to now be referred to as 'Away Missions'

THE DEAL IS STRUCK! No more William Shatner impressions 🤣 If it helps, these are papier mache balls designed for crafts, I drilled holes in them and glued them and the spikes STILL keep falling out 🤣 And I cannot believe I didn't think of calling them Away Missions that is so, so good 🤣

That double-handed punch has been called many things, but elegant?! And what else can you call a Trek lizard opponent race but The Gorn?

[@Chipperz1]

Apparently it's a DAM 2 Elegant Melee attack, I don't make the rules 😛 Also goddammit a Gorn rip off name would have been so much better. Gonna go with that and pretend my pretentious nonsense name never happened 🤣

I love that awesome terrain! Q- Can 5PFH be played as a 2 player game? If so, are there any examples out there? I haven’t found a thing about that

Thanks! 😁 The Five Parsecs compendium has a few options for co-op and PvP play, with co-op basically being "2-6 people split the crew and control their characters" while PvP is... I honestly just skimmed it but basically seems to just be "have two crews shooting each other!", so it's not phenomenal. It's in the same section that has thoughts on how to simulate the game without minis so... Let's call it experimental. I have the Five Parsecs tactics book on the way, though, and that seemingly turns 5 Parsecs into a full wargame and claims to have solo, co-op and PvP play, so I'll let you know if that's any good!

@@Chipperz1 Thats excellent news. I guess I should upgrade to the Compendium edition. Thanks so much!

@@dartmart9263 The compendium is great, but chucking in all the extra rules at once makes the game haaaaaaard 🤣 Good luck!
