Nordic Weasel Games: Salvage crews, free traders, mercenaries, bounty hunters, tax collectors and secret agents. The Fringes of colonized space are teeming with those who seek fortune, freedom or are too crazy to fit in anywhere else.
Bounty hunters are on your trail, you're pretty sure the new girl that just joined the crew is crazy and that battle droid you bought last week seems to be convinced it's in love. Time to lock and load. You're Five Parsecs From Home.
Five Parsecs From Home is a skirmish science fiction game where you follow a small band of unique characters, as they try to make their fortunes on the backwaters of human space. Watch your group advance from game to game, learning new skills, finding alien artifacts and contending with everything the Fringes can throw at you. Check the Science Fiction expansion at the Wargame Vault.
Using the Five Men/FiveCore system, the basic game mechanics are extremely quick to learn and incorporate elements like reaction fire and one of the simplest and fastest suppression mechanics out there. You get fully fledged campaign rules with random events and encounters, a wide range of possible characters, enemies and opponents and a flexible system that covers items such as psionics, trade, bluffing and randomly generated encounters and enemies.
Look at your shelf. Pick out 5 miniatures you don't get to use too much. Roll up some characters and see where it takes you. Note: This is an expansion for the FiveCore system. You will require a copy of the FiveCore main rules (or Five Men in Normandy) to use these rules.
