Five Parsecs from Home: 2nd Edition

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.
