    Deep Space D-6 Adventure #1: The Long Way Home Science Fiction Role-Playing Game and Adventure by Tony Go with Illustrations by Ilya Baranovsky For use with Deep Space D-6 solitaire board game Ver. 1.43 1 We Survived. Barely... The shockwave from the last destroyed enemy ship felt more like a lulling nudge than the staccato reverberations that once punctuated the ongoing assault. It was a trap. Though we survived, our warp drive was severely damaged and our systems were left in critical condition. Luckily, we still have the best weapon in the galaxy: our crew. It’s a long way home. With the amount of fuel we have left, there is no choice but to pass through pirate occupied space. Parts of the journey may even take us through uncharted regions. As a member of the United Earths, it is our duty to provide aid wherever it is needed- even if, as it appears, we are the ones in need of assistance... What happens next in the story? It all depends on the choices you make. The Long Way Home is a role playing supplement created for use with the solitaire board game Deep Space D-6. A copy of Deep Space D-6 is required. The Endless Expansion may be added, but is not required. A symbol denotes the use of expansion content. In The Long Way Home players will take control of a single ship and travel between points on a starmap. As you play, you will be asked to make a choice. Your choice may lead to success or disaster! After you make a choice, follow the instructions to see what hap- pens next.
