  1. Between the writing and the building, this might be my favorite post of the episode so far. The build is evocative and atmospheric (especially empty, when you can see the details) but the writing is genuinely touching. Thank you for this.
  2. Yeah! I did a deep dive on Mustafar lore (and watched a playthrough of Vader Immortal) while doing research, so it made it in there via "You have come to a dead place, a world once bright, brought to darkness, that now wakes again, thanks be to the blood of Corvax.” But the actual focus is an original object because I don't want to use too much canon (though with Luke appearing in my last chapter, maybe that's out the window haha) and not all the action will be on Mustafar. There's a few other iconic planets coming down the pipeline that factor into the search for Balaam's Heart. And thank you! It means a lot.

  4. Super striking, very well composed. Great job!
  5. Yes yes yes. Solid build, wonderful writing, great worldbuilding. Welcome to Factions, I'm so excited you're here.

  7. For a small build, it's so very evocative. I love the writing and the formatting too, really makes the world feel grounded. Great job.

  9. *Your entry has earned 14 XP* Previous entries in Across the Stars: I - Targonn - Severance Pay II - Targonn - Murder! Next: IV - Garel - The Manifest After a foiled Imperial raid, Targonn is locked down tight to prevent any more nefarious activity. This poses an obstacle to Nathan Carda, a young Safety Inspector eager to leave in search of the Imperial spies across the galaxy, particularly Mayla, a young undercover spy with whom he fell in love. To that end, he's utilized some less-than-savory lifelines... Story More Photos Thanks for looking! Next: IV - Garel - The Manifest

  11. *Your entry has earned 10 XP* Next: II - Targonn - Murder! Nathanyal Carda, a mid-level manager in the capital city of Targonn, has a stable, sensible life as a Safety Inspector, a thankless job in the Galaxy Far, Far Away. That's all about to change. STORY Thank you for looking. Next: II - Targonn - Murder!
  12. As others have said, a lovely build with excellent details. I love the dialogue! Very well written.
  13. Yeah, it's already been said, but it's amazing how much atmosphere you packed into this little thing. That one guy's face adds so much, haha.
  14. Love this, man. Just a good example of a straight-forward and well-executed build. Nice photos too!
  15. This story stood out, Ross. Per usual, your writing is expressive and full of character. Even just a few paragraphs helps make the galaxy feel alive. Love it. Love a creative SW alien, too! I hate to say this, but have you thought about getting a non-textured background? I honestly think the BG you've got detracts from your builds. I think a clean white or black BG might help, but that's just a suggestion! #MandaloreReclaimed
  16. I think an Underworld battle pack would be cool and appropriate. Gor Koresh, a Quarren tough, a Gran, and an Aqualish thief. The build could be some terrain and a Swoop, or an e-web platform like in Chapter 1. That would he a nice way to get ahold of a few alien species that have had some prominent appearances in Seasons 1 and 2. Having a prominent representative of the Mimbanese in both Chapter 12 and SW: Squadrons, it might be time for one of those, too.
  17. The old Jedi Starfighter games have some great designs. It's lovely to see this realized so well.
  18. Your stuff is always so solid. That's a great solution to the Krykna's...top...part. Another great entry! You should join us over at Factions if you ever want to get in a game. :)
  19. Whoof, mass graves and mutilation. At least there's person in the Triumvirate with a conscience. Kind of. Naturally, the build itself is really well done.
  20. Thanks a ton! It's always important to me for Figbarfs that the characters seem to fit together, so I'm glad I apparently succeeded with this one!
  21. *Your entry has earned 6 XP* A group of individuals looking for the truths about the Force have set out on expeditions, sponsored by the CFS member world of Brentaal. Led by the scholarly Archscriptists, some join the Unbound out of religious curiosity, others in a bid for power or truth, but all seeking to learn more about the mysterious energy between all things. Once a stronghold of an order of force-wielders called "Jedi", Ossus is a rich mine of knowledge waiting to be tapped. Storms scour its surface and thunder rolls across its dunes, a warning to any who would try to plumb its depths. STORY Thanks for looking!
  22. For the sake of argument, putting together those figures took a lot of time and energy. I think they could qualify as a "build" to score, since they're Lego arranged in a specific way that took creative effort. But I'll remove them from scoring if need be. (To be clear, I wouldn't make the same argument for a Figbarf that made no attempt at providing context, like I did with the props, background, and stories for each character and the build as a whole.)
  23. *Your entry has earned 2 XP* As parts of a larger understanding, the CFS member worlds have a lot of use for diplomacy and negotiation. Merchants hash out deals and create the flow of resources, Ambassadors battle in the courts of cruel regimes, and bodyguards keep them all free to do their jobs. With the intent of forming favorable connections, CFS-aligned diplomats are invited to the bustling world of Boranda for discussions with CorSec representatives. Nothing like a little nightlife to help discussions go smoothly. Descriptions Thanks for looking!
  24. *Your entry has earned 2 XP* People are the heart of the CFS. The colonists, farmers, laborers, and families that populate the planets of the galaxy, working hard to live in harmony with the land and one another. These are people of grit, wit, and drive. People with vision, and compassion, and care for one another. People who don't always get things right, but value fixing what's wrong. People who have found each other, and found something to share and build together. Descriptions Thanks for looking! (Sorry, MarvelBoy <3)
  25. I agree, the foreground pole is really obstructive from like all angles but one. I like the space itself, but shooting it is really hard. But dude, thank you. I really appreciate that, it means a lot.
