Status report on preparation for game 8: we have four players who've signed up so far. There's still over a week to go before we get underway, and there are up to two more places free.
Preferences so far:
Polter-Cow:
Pegasus. Would be interested in adding New Caprica or a Cylon Leader.
Liese:
Exodus.
-t:
Exodus.
Laga:
Pegasus. Second choice: add a Cylon leader.
So we're currently running more or less even between sticking with Pegasus and adding Exodus. My own preference is adding Exodus bits, as they're not much more complicated (it's considerably less of a step up to Exodus than it was to Pegasus) and it gives me more Crises and things to play with. Ultimately, though, it's player's choice.
If any newbies would like to give it a shot, we'd be happy to have you on board. We offer excellent support, and it can be quite an experience. If anyone has any questions about the way it works, there's plenty of time to ask.

I'd be up for adding Exodus stuff for more Crises and things to play with. Plus then nukes will finally blow up civvies like we always think they will anyway!

Strictly speaking, the new nukes (now with added devastation) are only part of the Cylon Fleet expansion module. (Along with a bunch of other stuff, including souped-up vipers and the CAG title.) Certainly not proposing we do that, it adds a lot of complexity; but once we have a crew together, we can discuss whether people would rather use the new nukes anyway.
Holy crap! My roommate was just slaughtering Ewoks at the battle of Endor and now he's fighting Han and Chewie. I do not approve!
With you on the Han and Chewie thing, but I've been known to take Palpatine in Lego Star Wars and Force Lightning the crap out of Ewoks and/or Jar Jar to blow off steam.
I walked in the room and he said, "You may not want to watch this."
I said, "Why, is Jar Jar in it?" I'm in favor of violence against Jar Jar.

"So what's with that magical fisting thing you do?"
"Umm... uhh..."
"You know, when you put your hand in people."
"It's a talent."
"You could make a lot of coin with that."

So I'm waffling over what characters to ask for this round. Who haven't we played yet, Kat & Tory? Is that all?
BSG
yes, I think so. I really want to try Kat.

I think that's right, yes.
