Hello and Welcome Back,
Now I have a couple of games under my belt I thought I would cobble together a review of the 5 Parsecs rules.
5 Parsecs from home is a solo tabletop Science Fiction/Space Opera adventure game by Ivan Sorensen and published by Modiphius Entertainment. We are now at Version 3 which has grown and ironed out a few kinks.
You play a crew of a small star ship looking for work around frontier space getting into and hopefully out of trouble. The game is set in its own space opera background although the author actively encourages the players to use the rules in th ..read more

Welcome to the third installment of my 5 parsecs campaign.
As usual, Captain Loops pays the crew and doles out jobs from his bed in the sick bay.
Lem spends a couple of credits on parts to fix the battle visor found in the last campaign turn and succeds (allowing any 1s to be rerolled).
T Bone and Shorty go out to look for some jobs. Joey is sent out try to distract anyone who might be tracking the crew down.
Twelvetree of the DCS corporation has a job with +2 Credits danger pay but it has to be done now. It's a hot job which increases the chance of getting a rival. There are ..read more

Welcome back,
Back in the mists of time, fresh with enthusiasm and inspiration from the newly released 40K Rouge Trader book, I knocked together this bit of terrain for my Orks and Marines to fight over. Digging through some old boxes I stumbled upon it and thought it would be a good candidate for a rework.
It was made from a plastic tub (possible margarine) and had a sweet tub on top. The door was painted on. In the illustration I have cut part of the original door way out using a soldering iron. In my enthusiasm I forgot to take pictures of it unmolested.
Reviewing the model I decided ..read more

Hello and Welcome back,
"One Eye" Odgie was originally from the town of Graceville in a territory known as the Freepeoples Wilds, which lies to the North of the Last City Wastes. Upon hearing the legends about the famous Baron Freedom, far to the south of the territory, the young Odgie set out to join the Baron's battle against the raiders seeking to destroy the settlements of the Wastelands. By the time he reached the City of Hamsterdam, the city joined Freedomville and the mutants of Doom Valley to form the Freepeoples Confederacy. Odgie signed up and served as a soldier for many years ..read more

Hello and welcome back,
Time for a bit of terrain. My recent dealve into Wreckage Station as part of my 5Parsecs campaign has gotten me motivated to get some terrain finished.
This piece is from the mantic's Industrial sets.
The paint is an experiment. Primed grey and painted with cheap acrylic paint markers. A seppia ink wash and a couple of brown washes tone and blend it all together. The downside to using markers rather than brushes is that it is difficult to get into the recessed detail.
Thanks for looking, take care out there ..read more

Hello and Welcome back. Its another 5 Parsecs from home campaign batrep. It is campaign turn 2.
The crew got their pay off Loops. Loops stared at his credits balance and realises he has enough to clear the ship's debt with a few credits to spare. Whoopee, it feels good to be out of debt!
Loops assigns some crew tasks. Loops is off to see Will Twelvetree about the DCS corporation job offered in the last campaign turn.
Lem and T Bone are sent off to explore.
Maya, Shorty and Joey are sent off to act as decoys in case any rivals are tracking them.
While out exploring Lem finds a broke ..read more

Hello and welcome back, time for a batrep for my 5 Parsecs from home campaign. In my typical style, this will be done in my own Wild Galaxy setting rather than the one in the rule books.
Wreckage station is an ancient space station the size of a moon, laying in orbit around a dead world in a lost dark system. The system was rediscovered by explorers and the ancient station was partially restored and repaired. However only a small portion of the station has been reclaimed. The station gets its name from the ancient debris field from a huge space battle. During the station's restoration m ..read more

Hello and Welcome Back,
Yet another jetbike speeds across the deserts of Maddan’s world. They are a popular mode of personal transport on the dust ball of a world.
The sharp eyed amoung you will notice this bike isnt packing weapons and the rider only has a pistol. This bike is probably used around the bigger settlements on Maddan’s world, rather than convoy escort duties.
I built this jetbike for a competition on the In Rust We Trust discord server. It's core is a pen top with (clean) medical tubing connectors to make the intake and thruster. A disposable razor cover ..read more

Hello and Welcome back,
I have been planning some terrain for Mad Dan's Scrapyard for a while now. The plan was to use the Bangarang terrain I have been building as a starting point. While digging through the pile of shame I came across some mdf shipping containers that I had assembled and primed some years ago. Feedback from the Mk1 eyeball suggested that these would be just the right size as the newly constructed Bangarang models. A check with a ruler a few minutes later confirmed that the eyeballs were right.
As the spirit of Bangarang and the Gutterlands is all scratch built ..read more

Hello and Welcome Back,
As regular visitors to my blog will know, I recently got into building Beadbots with the intention of playing the Bangarang game. As well as the Beadbots the game requires some stackable terrain and bridges for the bots to fight around.
The terrain is required is 4 off 2 x 2 x 2 inch stacks, and 4 off 2 x 4 x 2 inch stacks with 2 bridges. I started off building stacks from junk in the bits box to reflect the background of the Gutterlands (the setting for the Bangarang game). Halfway through, I got the idea to build shacks as they would have more versatility ..read more
