[M4-25 - Rebellions Are Built on Hope] - A Painterly Rebellion

[YellowFrog]

Sick of the Empire's iron-fisted rule, Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca return to the Wookie's home planet, Kashyyyk, to enact a simple plan.

They sneak up to an Empire outpost, paint bucket in hand, and paint the Rebel's logo on the wall, hoping to escape before they're caught.

Whilst Chewbacca does the painting, Skywalker keeps a lookout. They wouldn't want any clone troopers sneaking up on them...

It's a sloppy artwork, but it gets the job done, leaving a few specks of paint on the jungle floor.

Nestled amongst the shrubbery, the potential for an ambush is immense, but it's a small risk compared to many of the Rebels' other stunts...

Although the stakes are high, the scenery is relaxing, the waves of the ocean meeting the tangled shrubbery of the jungle.

Beneath the trees and snaking vines, Chewbacca continues to paint.

Will they finish the job and escape before it's too late?

Who knew Chewie was so good at painting?   Nice humor in your scene and your trees look good. I think your MOC would benefit from some SNOT work for the rocks. But overall a nice build. Have you considered entering it for the Mysteries game? The Light Side would love to have you.

Thanks, I agree - some SNOT work could definitely help. No, I haven't really thought much about the Mysteries game, I once took a look at it but still have no clue how it works! The other thing is, I only build a MOC every few months or so these days, and I was concerned I might enter the game only to let down the team.

I'm always looking for ways to make the game more accessible, is there a specific point in the rules where you got lost or an element of the game that's confusing? There are game mechanics, but at the end of the day it's really simple. You pick a team, you build a SW MOC, and your team gets points. You can get more involved in strategy if you want, but you certainly don't have to. And a MOC every few months would be totally fine.

I was just a bit uncertain on what the mysteries are, who decides the answers, how the MOCs play a part in the game, what the grid mentioned is, how builders know/follow the story, how teams work together, how the points work, how a team can win, what the builds can be (do the MOCs dictate the story?), how teams take territory, how teams can lose territory, and there are probably more questions I had that I can't think of right now.

As you can probably see, I was quite clueless and thought I wouldn't want to use up everyone's time asking all these questions in the subforum, and seeing as I don't know much about Star Wars, I'm not sure what I needed to know to participate. Thanks for taking the time to try and help.
