The Crew

 Hi, everyone.

Here, I will try to chronicle the adventures of the crew of the starship, Memoriam, a bunch of somewhat honorable bandits who banded together because of a common enemy. This is a replay of the solo adventure wargame, Five Parsecs from Home 3rd Edition, where you assemble a ragtag crew of humans, aliens and robots, and travel around the galaxy in your ship, doing various odd jobs, which invariably lead to combat. 

Getting Started

After the initial campaign creation steps which mostly concerns creating your crew (usually a group of 6 figures), via random rolls. This is a fun part of the game and the rule book is organized that you can go through this as you read, getting a crew ready in around 30 minutes of real time (maybe less once you become more familiar with the system).

The Campaign Turn

The gameplay loop for a campaign is quite fun: with crew being assigned to various tasks, then checking for available jobs, loading out your crew with whatever available weapons, gear and gadgets you have, and then selecting the job and playing out the fight.

Campaign turns get resolved fast, with the actual tabletop combat taking most of the time.

The Crew

Without further ado, let's introduce the stars of the show, the current crew of the SS Memoriam:
