Yep, you guys are fully into the third and final stage; you've passed the introductory and investigative stages.

Following the tracks north, you find the rest of the party, themselves at the scene of a recent battle. "Abârlômi?! What are you doing here? I instructed you to stay at the camp! Where is Zigirôhîn?" "Zigirôhîn is fine; he's guarding the camp. He can look out for himself — after all, I trained him myself." "Then it's a good thing he didn't inherit your foolishness! Lord Bârbêthân has gone to gather all of us together for an alliance of men and elves and a coordinated strike against the Pongcanae, and he'll be looking for you." "Lady Calmcacil, can we afford to send someone back to the Warehouses to retrieve my companions? They will be most helpful in a fight."

You find the tracks leading off in two directions. This group of Pongcanae, you see, came from the north, and that's probably where the other heroes are, you realize. You see tracks of the surviving Pongcanae and humans leading east.

You can't figure out where the people or the Pogs had gone; you realize that perhaps you don't have the right skills to do that. "There are criminals everywhere who will collaborate with evil forces for personal gain. They are of no concern to me; we shall bring them all down, Pongcanae and their human conspirators both."

Yeah...maybe I'll have him rip off the arms of an NPC in a later battle.

"Intensify forward firepower; I don't want anything to get through!"

It said he would attempt to pull your arms off. I think it's plausible that you might drop all your stuff and/or faint if a bunch of ligaments and tissue were torn and bones were broken and dislocated, even if the arms weren't torn completely off.

Stabbing, cuts, and things like that are plausibly under the Veteran's protection and the magic healing powers of different consumables and classes. Limbs cut off are harder to explain, so as a QM I usually avoid things like that.

Can you crop it down to the standard 100x100 size first? Thanks.

So far as I know, we haven't actually seen confidential pictures of the Utapau BP, have we? We only saw it's supposed counterpart, the Saleucami set.

Yeah, if there's one thing the PT had, it was that it was thought up by the same guy. The transition to OT technology and themes is well done in most cases. (The 'bridges', as they like to call them. Although it's very arguable that the most important transition of all, that of Anakin to Vader, is not well done.) Not just references, but reasons. Similarly, I hope that the ST doesn't just havereferences, but has results. To be fair, no, that storyline hasn't ended...but it's already been told. Palpatine's clones and all that, plus there are a lot of major conflicts left and the war doesn't actually end until the Pellaeon-Gavrisom Treaty is signed nineteen years after Star Wars. I agree with you, it seems like we've seen all the threats already. Resurrecting Palpatine again would be annoying, I think. (I could see a Palpatine Clone and the Death Star III as a joke, but not as a serious plot for a movie.) We've seen the enemies from unknown space (the Ssi-Ruuk), the enemies trying to take commander of the Empire (Daala, Isard, various moffs and generals), we've seen the enemy genius promoted in secret (Thrawn), we've seen enemy remnants trying to be independant (Thracken Sal-Solo), we've seen enemies from within the Jedi (Caedus, Kyp Durron), we've seen the enemies from outside the galaxy (the Vong), we've seen enemies almost of the Force itself (Abeloth)...

"Remember, men, that according to the rules of battle performance scoring we've laid down, it's as much about quality as it is about quantity! Hold your ground, do not be overrun by sheer quantity, and we have a fighting chance!"

I agree. I like subtle references, I like homages, I like tributes, but when you use a bunch of references to try to tie the movie together with its predecessors and at the same time you play the 'time travel different dimension' card, then it just seems like you're saying "I don't want to make my story in your universe and I'm just going to throw your fanboys a bone."

Welcome to Eurobricks. On EB, we do require that all games, contests, and other projects be staff-approved before they're run. (And in this case, this is a game that would end up competing with an established game running for a couple years on EB.) So, I would advise that you not go any further for now, and let the staff decide what to do. I'm going to lock this for now while we discuss this, and if you have any questions or input for us to consider, you can PM one of us. (In this case, particularly the LDD Moderator, Superkalle, or the Games Moderator, Dragonator. You'll need ten posts to use PMs.) Thanks for your understanding.

QM Note:No problem. I didn't know which one you wanted to favor, but Humanoids are more common than Beasts, typically. If you'd prefer Beasts, I don't mind changing it, since it doesn't affect the results of the Round.

QM Note: Wedge, you didn't pick a type to favor, so I gave you 'Humanoid' Results of Round Two of the Skirmish at the Warehouses: Sir Abârlômi vs. Pongcanis Lieutenant — Extra Critical Furious Hit ((((8*3)+21+5)*2)-10=90 Damage; must target Pongcanis Lieutenant) >Alexander Vandagant vs. >Pongcanis Crossbowman — Hit (((7+15)*2*3*2)-1=263 Darkness-elemental Damage) Ahvialyn vs. Pongcanis Swordsman — Damage (20-3=17 Damage) Throlar Wineghlim vs. Pongcanis Swordsman — Miss Ellaria Arbour vs. Pongcanis Swordsman — Aim Special Damage ((10*2*2)-5=35 Fire- Lighting-elemental Damage) Sir Abârlômi gives his attack all he's got, but comes up just short of defeating the leader, who staggers backwards. Alexander, focusing more closely on the weak points of the crossbowman, you fire an arrow that slips through the fur beneath his arm and between his ribs into his heart. Throlar, you team up with Ahvialyn in charging the swordsman, but you miss your attack, and Ahvialyn is struck by the Pog. Ellaria, you stay back waiting for the right moment, carefully aiming your strike before you step forward and swing your staff. The battle continues. The Enemies: Pongcanis Lieutenant Humanoid Beast Level: 30 Health: 10/100 Defense: 10 Special I: Swig of Mead — The Pongcanis Lieutenant consumes one of the Meads from his Drops, making himself Encouraged. Special II: Flogging — The Pongcanis Lieutenant lashes out with his whip, dealing 1-9 strikes of 15 Damage each. The target is Bound for the next Round. Used if the Pongcanis Lieutenant is already Encouraged. Drops: Meads (3) Pongcanis Swordsman Humanoid Beast Level: 20 Health: 40/75 Defense: 5 Special: Cry for Help — The Pongcanis Swordsman lets loose a high-pitched roaring growl for help. Another Pongcanis Swordsman will join the battle after 5 Rounds. If the heroes can end the battle before then, they will get to face the summoned swordsmen in another battle, gaining the opportunity to gain XP and prepare themselves.

I like it. Nicely done with the Cloud City-style arches and platforms, and I love the greebles and other detailing integrated into the spaces in the arches. Story is much more plausible, too.

The Delta-7s used in Clones with the astromech to the side don't use the whole body; it's just an integrated astromech head. To make that part movie-accurate, TLG just has to take the dome piece and stick it on top of the wing, just as they did in '02. (And they have already done a whole astromech in a wing, too, in 9494. [Which was an Eta-2 and canonically in-universe did have an entire astromech in the wing, not just the head.])

Very interesting. I think the IV, V, I, II, III, VI order might work for kids who don't know about how plots are set up or how characters can be dynamic or static, and all the info in Sith doesn't ruin Jedi. But for me, I started seeing the PT for the first time in...'02, I think (I was a "LEGO introduced me to Star Wars" person as opposed to the very common "Star Wars introduced me to LEGO".), and I think I saw it in the order I, IV, V, VI, II, III (because Clones wasn't out on VHS at that time). And there weren't any secrets in Menace that I couldn't figure out, and I liked having the PT expand on and explain the points already known from the OT as I saw Clones and Sith last as they came out.
