Five Parsecs from Home: 2nd Edition 2017

Five Parsecs From Home is back, leaner and meaner than ever before!

Create a crew of randomly generated personalities and see if you can make a profit on the fringes of space. Look for patrons, get into gun-battles and build up your squad.

Five Parsecs is aimed specifically at the solo gamer (though you can play with a friend just fine) and lets you build a crew, take them through missions, gain new equipment and level them up.

Watch your men, women and bug-eyed aliens improve, grow (or die horribly) as you play.

Experience random events and unforeseen circumstances.

This is a second edition of the original Five parsecs rules. It includes the following changes:

Completely stand-alone game based on an original, ultra-simple system.

Stream-lined to make it far more manageable for a single player.

Solo advice for running enemy forces is included right in the combat rules.

The game has been condensed to focus on the results that matter. That meant pruning some random tables down.

Far fewer exceptions and special rules to keep track of.

We added more optional rules and difficulty settings, allowing the game system to be customized to your liking.

An economic system allowing you to earn and spend cash.
