MYSTERIES: Introduction and Rules

[MKJoshA]

@Grand Admiral Thrawn Just a reminder that you still need to create a post on EB for each of your entries.

[MKJoshA]

We have officially updated the map and rules! A few things to note.

1) We are now officially a Legends/Expanded Universe game! For everyone who loves the EU and its stories we are now a welcome home for you. Want to include Kyle Katarn, Mara Jade, or Natasi Dalaa? Mysteries is just the game for you! Love the new Disney content? You are welcome to include references to things like The Mandalorian or Bad Batch. But details that specifically contradict Legends events should be avoided. One big detail that we're using from Legends is that the New Republic keeps its Navy active instead of disbanding it. And Hosnian Prime will not be the galactic capital. But most things you'd want to include from the Disney timeline are probably fine.

2) We tweaked the map rules. Access rules remain the same, but we've added the rule that if your team controls a sector along a main Hyperspace Route you can access the rest of the route too.

3) We're working on some Mysteries specific tags for your EB profiles. We hope to have those ready very soon!

We're excited you're part of the Mysteries RPG!

Great news!

I feel like the red an purple colors are very close, especially in their lighter shades and with the bluish grey background in the center. But maybe that's just me

That's a good observation. Happy to change the colors up. Any suggestions?

Maybe try yellow or orange and see how it looks? Since the colors show the situation on the map and are otherwise not afiliated with the factions but red fits the dark side well, i'd try yellow or orange for the Mercs.

[Professor Thaum]

Yes, yellow or orange sounds clever !

[MKJoshA]

The map has been updated!

Thank you all for your patience. I've had a lot of Real Life stuff keeping from the game. But Episode 5 is almost ready to launch. And I've got big plans for the game coming this summer. Keeping building, let me know if you have any questions, and invite a friend to play!

[Yperio_Bricks]

Sounds promising! Looking forward to learn more about your plans for the game!

Just finished my next moc today. Have to take pictures, hopefully tomorrow

Does the Trellen Trade Route count as a main Hyperspace Route ?

 

[Jody Meyer]

I think I am one of two main ones....nice.

No... unfortunately not

[MKJoshA]

Episode 5 is live! It's a shorter episode length because the annual May the 4th contest will be starting on... May the 4th. So make sure to get your entries built before the May 27th deadline!

I see the public sector control sheet has been updated. But the planet ownership and points tally have not been updated yet?

Now the Dark Side has some points in sector P9, which is needed for the Light Side to get to Rorgam. What are the rules for sectors that are contested by more than one faction? The first faction that reaches 100 points gets control of the sector? How many points are needed to overthrow the leader?

I think you have the point

So sector control is permanent after a faction got it first? Not that the good people of the Light Side plan to attack anybody, but as formidable bureaucrats we would like to know  When the path to Rorgam is blocked we may turn our attention to other objectives 

[Professor Thaum]

I think after the first 100 pts, the control switch with the next 50... so the first a 100 gain control, then if the other reach 150, the control switch

Hmm, thanks for point this out. The sheet just needed to be refreshed. It should be good now. I need to look into how to get it to auto-refresh.

As for grid control, it's the first to 100. After that, it's either increments of 50. So the next team to 150 or 200 would be able to re-take or re-assert control. As Thaum said.
