What a great game report. Quick, clear and fun. The terrains, minis, and the physical blood-splots are all complimented by the visual and sound effects.
Hey, thanks! That's part of the fun. I probably shouldn't have made the flicker-y part at the beginning quite so seizure-y, but I'll know better next time. :D
Amazing. I really liked the whole thing: the intro stills with an amazing set up, the map itself, the crew intros, and the way you explain everything clearly and use vfx to add an extra to the whole thing. It's the sort of thing I was looking for as inspiration for my own battle reports. Keep the good work!
Ugh! I know, right? But it soooo much work. 😩 Still, thanks for the kind words. I'm due for another video soon, but it will probably be for a different game (in the same universe) called "Unity Field Agent". 😃
Hello Jason, this is humans. It's been a month and I need more of your 5 Parsecs videos. They just released an expansion so give that a try. Or more Chrome Hammer. Or a session of Ascension explaining how it differs from the base game. Or do all 3 videos, yeah, 3 videos. Every week. Yeah.
Wow, thanks! I'm surprised you haven't heard of it. Five Parsecs is really blowing up right now. And they just released the fantasy version, "Five Leagues from the Borderland"! :)
At first I was put off by the flickering video (hard on my eyes) but once you got into the game you won me over with the charming and amusing effects. I actually got a kick out of the sound and the little pool of blood when people got shot :D Well done. I just bought the game last night, looking forward to learning it.
Excellent batrep, that was a lot packed into 10 minutes. I've just about finished making my terrain for 5P, not got to print/assemble and paint all the minis. Now off to check the rest of your channel.

Been working on my crew and storyline from the pdf about a week, and really love how similar the rpg portion is to Traveller. Should get some free time soon to play my first mission/game. Fantastic play through btw!
Firstly, I love the quick play through and all the special effects, it really showcases the games storytelling! Next. I downloaded the 2nd edition when it first came out, but never played a game, do you know how different the two editions are from one another? Is 3rd worth the cost or is it just in a snazzy new hard-bound cover??
Thank you! And the answer is "Yes!" It's worth the cost, and it's just a snazzy new hard-bound cover. Well, the art is beautiful and the book is pretty well organized. Things are overall explained better. There's probably new equipment (although I can't be sure). You start out in debt, trying to pay off your ship. There's "Luck" now which can make your characters a little tougher. If things feel too easy, though, you have the option to take on Red and Black Zone jobs for more of a challenge. There's a thing called a Story Track, and also advice on how to run 5 Parsecs as a Game Master. I mean, your value may vary, but I thought it was worth it. :)
This was great man, so nice to see a play through with some editing and effects. I hope you cover more indie solo games (I think they look really fun to co-op with my kids). New subscriber on board.
Thanks! Alas, no craft videos. I wish that I had some to offer. My blog has some terrain stuff, but only the Red Rocket really goes into detail. redplayerone.blogspot.com/search/label/Terrain The city tiles are each 1 foot square. They're actually mounted on squares of cork board. That might have been a mistake, but it's holding up so far. :)
Stunned characters do not move toward enemies. They either shoot or move to cover. Page 41 (text box at top of page). Your stunned anarchist probably would not have moved toward your characters. Please do more!
Amazing minis and terrain! I would love to have a pointer for 15 mm minis if you could. How big is the table? I guess you use 28mm scale rules but playing it in a 15mm scale? It looks like a very good fit though and certainly looks good for a modern/future skirmish
Thanks! The table was 2x2, which seems a bit tight, but keep in mind that there was a whole turn of mostly just movement, so it couldn't have been too bad. Got right to the action. In my experience, with the exception of things like blast templates and "how tall is an unclimable wall?" there's no need to do measurement conversions. Plus, NWG games almost _assume_ 15mm. I play all of his stuff in 15s. I get my 15mm minis wherever I can. There are a lot of great sites. Khurasan minis has a clunky site, but _great_ minis. I also like Rebel minis and Ral Partha Europe. My guards are from White Dragon Miniatures, and they're nice, but they don't have a _huge_ selection. Anyway, I hope that helps. Let me know if you have more questions. :)
@@ΣπύροςΓκιουζέπας if it helps, Alternative Armies have a great range of 15mm, and good customer service. I'll also throw in CP Models, more of a limited range but I like the stuff they make and, again, good customer service
What did you use for Flavio's sword? I love the conversion. Just from bits knowledge it looks like a guardsman bayonet but I could be wrong. Love the vid. Love the minis. Love the table. Please do more 15mm. I would honestly love to a vid of your collection of 15mm stuff.
Thanks! Flavio's sword is just plasticard that I cut out into a sword shape. So, scratch-built, I guess. :) 15mm stuff collection video? Hmm. I wonder what that would look like. In the meantime, I've got other 15mm videos like this. Playlist! ua-cam.com/play/PLYUGDcghM-GWjAYDZPakeJzmQF4bfzGq9.html
@@LudantoRugxa that's weird can't understand why a video with high quality audio and visual elements, an enjoyable narration, and fun scenery to look at could possibly take a lot of time to make. Maybe it's just one of life's mysteries. Regardless keep up the good work
Wow this is an amazing playthroughs. I have so many question as I just started myself. 1. What program did you use for your editing? 2. Can you point to any good resources to help with the effect of your minis dying and disappearing? That was well done. 3. How long did it take to make the edits from start to finish?
Thanks! Let's see. 1. The video editing program is Wondershare Filmora X. 2. All of the effects either came free with Filmora, or were purchased separately from Filmstocks.com which has some sort of relationship with Wondershare. Specifically the Blood Bursts pack and the Blockbuster pack. 3. It's hard to say how long the edits took as it didn't happen all at once. Doing the VO was drawn out for a couple of weeks by me being lazy and by my HVAC system constantly roaring in the heatwave. But the actual trimming of the scenes and adding special effects only took several hours. But I don't know what I'm doing, so that probably slows me down. ;) I hope that helps. Good lucky with your videos! :)
Sure! There are guidelines in the book, but it's expected that you'll use what you have. And honestly, I didn't even follow the guidelines. I set up a table that I thought looked good and was spread out in an interesting way. "Random" might not be the best way to place the terrain, but you can, and you can definitely choose your own terrain. :)
Sorry for the slow reply. I just googled "sexy anime" or something (it's been a few years now) and looked for cool images. Then I added text with Photoshop.
@@leondus2000 It does take some poking around. You might try Alternative Armies or Khurasan. You can also use Green Stuff to add capes and hoods and other details or glue on weapons or antennas or thin chains. Of course a unique paint job can be good enough sometimes. Good luck!
@@LudantoRugxa I envy you youngins with your good eyes able to see stuff so small. I'm using 28-32mm which I can only paint with an optivisor. Wish there were more 54mm minis :D
0:40 those Weyland-Yutani bastards really bled you dry, huh? 1:01 that's one dark alley of decadence, lmao 7:18 LOL imho a difficult game is more worth of time playing than an easy one... I wouldn't see a point of playing a battle with heavily outnumbered enemies, for example.
Yes, it's a miniatures game. Do you need miniatures? Yes and no. "Yes", because it's a minis game, obviously. But "No" because it's just a game, and a solo game at that. I've played with little cardboard pieces for the people and boxes for the buildings. Heck, I've played with a creative use of Microsoft PowerPoint. So, you definitely need to be able to move little dudes around a map, but the form that those things take is up to you. :)
One of the most entertaining battle reports on UA-cam. Love your special effects!
Thank you! I'm in a bit of a slump right now, but I want to do more as soon as I can. :)
What a great game report. Quick, clear and fun. The terrains, minis, and the physical blood-splots are all complimented by the visual and sound effects.
Thanks! I really appreciate your comment. I'd like to do them more often, but it's a lot of work and I'm also lazy. :D
I have seen other UA-camrs experiment with digital effects on their battle reports. This video gets it right!
Hey, thanks! That's part of the fun. I probably shouldn't have made the flicker-y part at the beginning quite so seizure-y, but I'll know better next time. :D
Great Battle report. Would love to see more about this crew!

Easily one of the best Five Parsecs playthrough videos I've seen.
With great minis and awesome terrain, it's a shame you don't make more.

Your editorial skills for battle reports got better and better. So much packed in 10 min. Light saber scenes were the best! Thanks for your work.
Wow! Thanks! I've got a new video coming out very soon. Is it any good? Who knows?! I might have peaked with the 5 Parsecs one. :)
Great video; a clear demo of the rules, visually pleasing set up, humour and top-notch effects.. Entertaining and informative. Many thanks.
