The Long Way Home is a hybrid Tabletop RPG supplement for use with the Deep Space D-6 board game. The story begins with your ship stranded in unknown space in the aftermath of an ambush. With limited fuel and a failing warp drive, you'll travel through the galaxy, explore strange new worlds, make difficult choices, and ultimately find your way home to the United Earths headquarters. A player sheet tracks your progress, provides ship upgrades, and outlines the traits of your unique crew.
Each turn, you'll decide where to travel, spending precious fuel to get there. Events and encounters outline the stipulations of combat. Occasionally, you'll have to make a choice. These choices can be modified by your crew, skill checks, and previously made choices. Can you unravel the mysteries of them galaxies and get your crew back home safe?
