Five Parsecs From Home - Solo Narrative Battle Report

While Captain Reiko returns home with a stolen ship, two enemies unite, and the plot thickens as one of the crewmembers finds an unexpected clue, and another is approached by an old enemy.
Join me in this randomly generated story for solo miniature wargame Five Parsecs From Home!
This story is set in the science fiction universe of Veiled Space, in which Humankind is just another of the dozens of decentralized alien species considered too primitive to join the mighty League of Worlds.

[@Teufeltusken]

Can't wait!

[@falcoc1058]

Yeah... a nice little teaser for a new mission 🎉 looks good as always and the quest for cake was awesome 😂 can't wait for more info on that favour! Take care 🙋‍♂️

[@veiledspace]

Thanks! Let's hope Harley one day gets to eat cake 😆 Next mission will be up later this month 😉

"Their is always a random event" Oh No, they have started to brake the forth wall! Interesting "hologram" effect, if incredibly GLITCHY on the recording. (just spazzing out Green flickers) Then again, maybe that was the point, in which case good job.

[@veiledspace]

I actually have friends who say "Another random encounter" when things happen in real life 😆 The holo glitch effect was intentional! I considered using the same one I did for the celonian AI a while back, with the blue filter, but I went for this "glitch" mask because of the camera movement. I hope it worked 🙃

Time for me to show my nerd side That paint job on the pike syndicate mini for the calomar specialist is very nice at least I think it is a pike syndicate mini Also love how this story is developing keep up the good work but remember to take breaks mental health is important and I shall wish you well in your travels through the cosmos Have a good time till I see you again

[@veiledspace]

Thank you, Jesus. You are a great guy (never thought I'd say that 🤣). Yeah, that's a pike. One of the first miniatures I bought when I discovered 5 parsecs. Also, the first one i painted after probably 30 years! So I may need to go back to it some day to retouch it. My crew definitely needs it, too!

How could I miss this video! Just AMAZING. BTW, looking for artist to make the portraits of my characters, flags and other stuff. Money is short, mentions can be plenty... XD Do you know someone? THANKS!!

[@veiledspace]

From the top of my head, maybe Renato Leite, who drew some of the characters that appears in other videos (this is his portfolio www.artstation.com/renato_leite). The humans I'm using are from an asset pack I bought long ago at the Unity Asset Store and is probably AI generated (but WAY before AI art was a thing). The other aliens were made by another artist, but now he works for big game studios and have no time for common people like us :D

[@xLAZY666]

big fan of the series, you ever think about doing a five leagues from the borderlands series?

[@veiledspace]

Thank you! I don't have Leagues yet, and I'm focusing on Scifi games for now, but who knows what the future holds? ;)

[@BeeptheLesser]

lol was Captain Reiko breaking the fourth wall just then?

[@veiledspace]

No idea what you are talking about 😅 (maybe?)

[@BeeptheLesser]

@@veiledspace capt’n said there is always a random encounter/event I wasn’t sure if it was a random table roll or something in post-mission for Five Parsecs

[@veiledspace]

Haha it was a character event. Yeah, I did that a few times, but this one was the most on the nose. I had once Harley commenting on my terrible painting of a hover truck 😅

[@Mailed-Knight]

The cake is a lie.

[@veiledspace]

I have waited so long for this comment. Thank you :D

[@Mailed-Knight]

@@veiledspace No worries mate.
