Wargaming for one 2026-05-20T14:58:12-06:00 me https://blog.booradley.com Starting vanilla 5 Parsecs from Home me https://blog.booradley.com/starting-vanilla-5-parsecs-from-home.html 2026-05-20T14:53:59-06:00 This will be my first solo game, so I expect it will be slow going for a bit. I'll be using Talespire for a virtual tabletop, and I've created some miniatures at titancraft.com for my characters.

I used the full 'random method' which maybe was a mistake, my group seems have to turned out much poorer than the sample. We'll see how it goes :)

My leader (me?) is Cormac Vasser, a Human Scoundrel (+1 speed). He's a military brat, which gives him +1 to combat. Order his his motivation, giving him a Patron, and 1 story point.

Joining him is Arok, an Engineer Petty Criminal (+1 speed), from the Lower Megacity class, which gives him an extra low-tech weapon. Motivated by Survival, this gives him +1 toughness.

(currently using only free assets on titancraft, and I'm not sure what an Engineer should look like, but this is definitely alien :P)

Zarah Solari, Human Hacker (+1 savvy, Rival), she's a wasteland nomad, which gives her +1 reaction and a low-tech weapon. Her motivation is Fame, giving her 1 story point.

Kylie Simril, Human Enforcer (+1 combat, Patron), from a primative world, which gives her +1 toughness and yet another low-tech weapon. She's motivated by Escape, giving her +1 speed.

Tayama Kazo, Human Enforcer (+1 combat, Patron), from the Lower Megacity class, yay extra low-tech weapon. He is motivated by Truth, giving him 1 Rumor and 1 story point.

Our ship is an Unreliable Merchant Cruiser, Low Expectations

We ended up with a few weapons, a Fake ID, and a Distraction Bot. No extra money, so we're starting with 6 credits against a debt of 26.
