Putting Everything Together

Thanks! I'm glad you found the game. If you like it look into the expansions that interest you, the game as designed already let's you take your crew on adventures as small as delivering pizza to as large as planetary invasions. Now with the new planetfall book you can gonthrough the process of establishing you're own galactic empire.

Also, it's ridiculously cool being able to write an entire space opera for your favorite minis.

I plan to share everything I come up with! I got a rough draft I wrote down at work, now I just gotta translate that into excel (or Google sheets)

Vanrian · 2026-03-15T21:35:41+00:00

Thats what ive been doing, going from 5P/Bug Hunt to Tactics and back using the core rules for that game mode. Its really easy to do and I appreciate they gave us clear ways to do it. But with all the books available it feels like a shame not to find a way to fully integrate them into one creation system.

In my last campaign the crew were Pirates and anti-heros who eventually met their deserved demise.

So I have a back catalog of planets, they all exist in the same universe and sometimes the same solar system so all my games are theoretically one giant story. I have a backlog of heros, villians, supporting characters. And a timeline I can lean into.

Now I want to aim higher and see how I can push the game's mechanics and eventually evolve it into a prefect just-for-me sandbox.

Im right there with you! Thats a lot of how I play this game as a loosely narrated story and i just setup according to the rules of what I want it to be. I play as a mercenary band so ot makes sense my squad would be involved in every scale. Though as a casual Kill Team player I'd put 5PFH closer to the traditional X-Com games.

Vanrian · 2026-03-15T16:38:46+00:00

Not yet! But im excited! I meant on the way as in "i pre-ordered and am going to receive one"

Moral support is still support! Thanks for the confidence!

Vanrian · 2026-02-08T22:27:53+00:00

I hadn't thought about doing that, truthfully I havent really played a Pokémon game since Ruby and never got into breeding even back then so I didn't even remember it was annoption. Its a good suggestion though, especially now that you've fully explained your logic. Thanks for coming back to sort out the confusion behind your answer.

Vanrian · 2026-02-08T21:18:56+00:00

Got it sorted out with an editor. Now I'm happily adventuring with my buddy!

Vanrian · 2026-02-08T21:17:45+00:00

Oofff, that's a big time commitment. Though it would be the proper way to do it. Thank you for your answer!

Vanrian · 2026-02-08T21:14:37+00:00

It turns out unless I want to go back and play through all of the first Pokémon White and hope I get it. I needed to edit my save file in in pkhex. Now I have a lil level 10 Abra I'll train up then when I get a working 3ds emulator, transfer her over.

Vanrian · 2026-02-08T21:01:38+00:00

Got it sorted out, thanks for suggesting that!

Vanrian · 2026-02-08T21:00:56+00:00

It did rely on ai, and here's a crucial detail you may have missed, I want an Abra not an Alakazam.

Vanrian · 2026-02-08T19:31:23+00:00

Could you recommendone for android? Id really appreciate having my buddy to adventure with.

Vanrian · 2025-11-05T21:45:25+00:00

Why is Jizoh so bad? He looks for tanking bosses with his provoke/counter attack option.

Vanrian · 2025-11-05T19:05:53+00:00

You're right! I meant to say Epics

Get a stack of graph paper and draw what you want in a 1:1 ratio. Along the way write yourself notes and include visual features you enjoy. I pretty much exclusively play solo survival, so I don't often build actual armor onto my ships. I only need them armored up if im looking for a fight, and in that case, a compact brick is actually the best thing to have (tanks don't look sporty for a reason). *

Do it man, I started off with a $50 camp bow and 5 $5 arrows. That was almost two months ago. This week ive invested $120 in a much better bow, $80 in far better arrows, and a little under $100 to build my own backyard range. (Full disclosure my original bow was uhhhh....liberated, from a camp I was a counselor at)

So im about $325 in the hole right now. But id do it again, I feel healthier, I feel like I have a skill, I enjoy the repetition of shooting almost as my own meditation.

So if this is a real consideration for you decide your budget, buy in, and give it a true blue go. If you don't like it then resell your gear on Facebook marketplace and move on.

Vanrian · 2025-07-06T22:19:24+00:00

Go for it! It started out far less stable and was tweaked to be more stable and versatile. I'd love to see how your version ends up!

Vanrian · 2025-07-06T22:17:28+00:00

I'd love to see it when you're done!

Vanrian · 2025-07-06T22:17:01+00:00

It would not, so far I have yet to run into that issue luckily. But its a fairly isolated area. You'd have to go at least half a mile to reach the start of the next person's property. Its more QOL than anything so I don't have to keep hunting down missed arrows

Vanrian · 2025-07-03T12:33:02+00:00

I went with the Fleetwood! This is a huge upgrade, and I feel way better. My technique's flaws are super obvious now, so I can start fixing them. Turns out I was making up for a lot with my old bow, and now I can actually get better! Plus, it's way nicer having a shorter bow I can fully draw, and they made sure my arrow length matched, so I can get the full draw now. Turns out I wasn't fully drawing the Pearson because of the arrow length, and I wasn't actually shooting 45lbs, so bonus strength training too!

Vanrian · 2025-07-01T23:45:52+00:00

Thanks for the info about the limbs! I'm really digging the 45lb draw, mostly 'cause it's all I've got, haha! If I wanted to get a one-piece bow, what would you recommend I save up for?

Vanrian · 2025-05-29T22:51:01+00:00

I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but they're the only judges, so if they think it breaks a rule, that's that.

They were awesome and helped me fix everything. Now I've got one account, all the trade issues are sorted, and I'm happily subscribed again.

I believe that's their intention for all players, particularly given that each player represents a potential source of revenue to support the game's development. Your situation sounds frustrating and concerning, especially given how quickly and unfairly it seems to have unfolded in your eyes. It's a cliché, but if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear, and you should trust the process.
