Five Parsecs From Home Solo Play Episode 8 - Invasion!

Ойындар

They are here! And they are angry!
After accidentally triggering an ancient Artificial Intelligence long dormant under Caladan IV's surface, Captain Reiko and her crew must hold off Celonian invaders long enough to get into their ships and flee the doomed planet.
This time they are not only facing one psychic enemy, but three! And there are quite a few surprised waiting for them.
Oh, boy, did this mission go very wrong...
Rules mistakes were made, as always!
--------------
Join JMBeraldo in another experimental way of telling a story by using the random generation of the solo miniature wargame Five Parsecs From Home, and a lot of unexpected dice rolls!
This story is set in the science fiction universe of Veiled Space, in which Humankind is just another of the dozens of decentralized alien species considered too primitive to join the mighty League of Worlds.

    Another really good set design. It's not the sort of fine modelling like you see on a lot of terrain crafting KZreadrs, and I can see all the rough edges and how it's all bottle caps and packaging and junk. But your designs always hang together so well, they come across as really convincing representations of a futuristic place. Like in this one, you've got a consistent theme with the round shapes and the verticality of the pillars/tanks/whatever. I don't know exactly what everything is meant to be, but it all works together to make a convincing set like something off a sci-fi movie, rather than just being random bits of sight -blocking terrain on a 3x3 board. The narrative's a nail-biter too! This episode had me on the edge of my seat. Will the newcomers abandon our heroes or show mercy in the face of the hostile invaders. Can't wait to see next episode.

    Thank you! It took me a while to realize it would be better to make at least some of the terrain exclusive per mission, but I think it ends up working well. Yes, less time working per terrain piece, but they feel more cohesive than just reusing a lot of things. Ive become that kind of person who will go to a supermarket and stare at a bottle for long minutes wondering how to make it some sort of scifi building :D

    Plot twist!! I was shook when they mentioned the Rubie prairies!? Loved the camera zooms/POVs and the battlefield…wicked!! Also, your videos have inspired me to finally bite the bullet and start collecting minis! Already finished 10!

    I was surprised by the plot twist too. Took me a while to think of how to weave that story :D And I'm glad you are going into the hobby! It's extremely fun and sometimes quite the therapy!

    Really enjoyed how brutal the fight was in the first two rounds. The crew was massacring the aliens. The appearance of the Celonian Disc was so ominous. Felt very Xcom. Wondering which enemy you used that gave them psychic powers and high tech weapons. Is that from the elite enemy rules?😮

    Yeah, I was a bit too coky thinking I was doing so well in the begining that I could just add way more enemies :( The enemies are Harvest Abductors, but I have the thugs (Reds) Jump Belts, and both the Specilists (Greys) and the Lieutenant (White) Deflection Shields and Psi powers from one of the expansion books. The Celonian Disc is a MkII Security Bot with a Deflection Field. And, yes, totally inspired by XCom :)

    It's even worse. He became a casualty once, then I used Luck (he got one from an event a few sessions back), then became a casualty again. I somehow lost the footage of the Luck point, but you can see he had shifted his position before becoming a casualty AGAIN.

    Really Awesome Video. Great funny dialogue as always and I really liked the twist with the two "reinforcements". Was that scripted or did you come up one the fly with that idea? Take care und keep those videos coming. You're doing a great job here. Looking forward to your future ideas!👍🦾 thank you for your videos and the work you put into them!

    Thanks! I had in mind that I might need minis if I rolled reinforcements, but I decided for the disc because first two turns were very easy. The two rivals showing up later... well, I had the idea of them meeting again, but I wasn't sure of how. When I rolled the event that any crewmate out of the battle could come in to help, I figured, why not? But I wasn't expecting the crew to be taken out, leaving only their rivals alive to make the decision of what to do with them. Really got me having to rethink my plans 😅
