Five Parsecs From Home: Solo Adventure Wargame Hardback Book

Five Parsecs From Home is a solo adventure wargame designed from the ground up for single-player science fiction gaming. Players assemble and manage a ragtag crew of humans, aliens, and robots as they explore the galaxy, take on jobs, trade, and engage in tactical combat. The game focuses on narrative progression, with each mission affecting your crew's story, equipment, and skills through a campaign-style structure. The core gameplay involves procedurally generated battles with a vast array of enemy types, weapons, objectives, and battlefield conditions. The system is fast-moving and requires only standard six-sided and ten-sided dice to play. A key feature is its miniatures-agnostic design; it can be played with any sci-fi miniatures you already own, requiring only a small number to begin. The 184-page, full-colour hardback book is royal-sized (15.6cm x 23.4cm), making it durable and practical for tabletop use. This game is ideal for both experienced wargamers and newcomers to the sci-fi genre looking for a deep, narrative-driven solo experience. It includes extensive tables for generating missions, trade, character events, and starship travel, plus five difficulty settings and optional super-hard 'Black and Red Zone' jobs. The rules also support Game Master-led campaigns with connected plots, environmental hazards, and faction conflicts, offering flexibility in how you play.
