Meet "The Gamblers," My Five Parsecs From Home Crew

My Five Parsecs From Home crew is ready! As should be pretty obvious, I am leaning heavily into the Firefly vibe for their look and feel. I'm planning to put together battle reports with more narrative flair than dice-rolling. I've already had a ton of fun coming up with the little snippets of backstory included in this video.
If you want to see me roll up the random attributes of this crew, you can check out this video:

This is a great introduction to your crew! Lots of flavor and background. Looking forward to their adventures.

[@MTFTabletop]

Thanks! I've rolled up their first mission, and I'm working on the narrative bit while I finish painting the baddies (another Kill Team I've been procrastinating on).

[@blacktemplar5970]

Wow I was really getting the cool firefly vibes...looking forward to the campaign

[@MTFTabletop]

Thanks! I've been watching a lot of GFN Gaming batreps to work on how I want the actual games to look.

[@blacktemplar5970]

There is another one "one stop Co-Op"...he had a Parsecs campaign too

[@blacktemplar5970]

@@MTFTabletop ...also how long will it be before the episodes are being released....I like to binge through content like that lol

[@MTFTabletop]

@@blacktemplar5970 Fair enough. The honest answer is that I don't know, yet. I'm still figuring out how much production time will go into each one. I'm sure I'll get faster as I go, though.

@@MTFTabletop sounds good 👍

[@tabletop.will.phillips]

Recently came across your channel while checking out Five Parsecs. Really dig this narrative intro!

[@wurzella1]

Awesome intro, can't wait to see the gamblers story unfold.

[@grah2561]

Absolutely love it. I've played five missions of my first campaign so far and am just writing everything up for the start of a blog series. Your intro is fantastic and has gotten me even more motivated to get my stories down and out there. Good job.

[@MTFTabletop]

Thanks! I'd love to read your write-ups if you want to shoot me a link.

[@lenmux]

Very well done, sir!

[@GFNGaming]

Nice man! Great intro for the team looking forward to their adventures

[@MTFTabletop]

You have been a big inspiration in getting me to give this a try 😀

[@JevousGaming]

Just busy putting my crew together and this is such awesome inspiration. Really excited to see this crew roll out!

[@MTFTabletop]

I've got their first baddies ready, and will be playing their first campaign turn, soon :)

[@JevousGaming]

@@MTFTabletop Can’t wait to watch!

[@axanax2534]

Great intro to the crew!

[@MTFTabletop]

Thank you. Turning the random backstory rolls into a coherent narrative, however loose, was a lot of fun.

[@axanax2534]

It's a top contender for 'best part of the game' for me! Looking forward to what you've got for us next.

[@MenschWerdeWesentlich]

Great stuff! Earned you a subscription!

[@NerdLIfe-Skirmish71]

Nice! This should be good watch if your planning to start a campaign on the KZbin.

[@MTFTabletop]

Thanks! I'm still working on how much to blend narrative and dice rolling in the campaign turn reports, but I think I have some ideas.

[@UllricLex]

Cool crew. AXL-87 reminds me of HK 47 (Knights of the Old Republic)

[@markopolo12008]

Wow just found your channel and man what an intro!! I'm signed up for more ....👍

[@MTFTabletop]

Thanks! My production schedule fell apart for awhile, but The Gamblers will be back :)

[@thechaoshobbit1105]

Aside from the Tau model where did the minis come from?

[@MTFTabletop]

The robot is a Sicaran Infiltrator from 40k. The rest I printed. Flux is Gabriela from PrintMinis. The other three are from Loot Studios collections. I don't think Loot sells their sci-fi STLs individually atm.

[@rooksgate5574]

Curious where you got the ship model.

[@bzee5916]

Great video I like the asthetic, and the models look great.👍

[@bubbadoom1837]

Kennecott... mighty interesting name for a mining planet. You wouldn't by chance be familiar with a space port named M.R.S.? Sort of a rail station. May hap you'd know Gajo. A bit of a game hall, that one. 😄

[@MTFTabletop]

I did steal it from a real world Kennecott Mine, but the one I was thinking of is a ghost town in Alaska.

[@bubbadoom1837]

@@MTFTabletop lol Gotcha. Either way, I'm glad I found your channel. Subbed and bell rang.

[@willbyrne8493]

Where did you get those miniatures?

[@MTFTabletop]

The majority are 3D printed from Loot Studios and PrintMinis. Two are repurposed 40k minis.

[@ArcaneCowboy]

Where are these minis from?

[@MTFTabletop]

The captain, Viandi (pink sword alien), and Drake are all from Loot Studios. Flux is Gabriela from PrintMinis. The robot and The sniper are 40k models (Sicaran Infiltrator and Tau Pathfinder)
