description Five Parsecs from Home Overview

Designed by Ivan Sorensen and published by Modiphius Entertainment, Five Parsecs from Home is a solo-friendly science fiction skirmish game. It is specifically engineered to function as a procedural solo roleplaying and tactical combat experience, using tables to generate dynamic crews, missions, and story-driven tabletop adventures. Players manage a band of rogues navigating a chaotic space opera setting, resolving battles with any miniatures they already own. The ruleset is aimed at solo wargamers seeking an automated, narrative-heavy campaign system.
