You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Actual no-really-I'm-not-shitting-you dialog from Dragon Age 2.

"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."

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So you could try for Kat, Laga, and I could try for Tory.

I accept your scenario.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG

Okay, I'll play Kobol.

Is it just me or does stuff you learned in D&D come up really a lot when you're playing Scrabble? I can't tell you how many times I've played ADZE and I just got quite a few points for ASPIS.

This is just to announce that we'll be kicking off the next game of BSG fairly soon. It will include the base game, the base Pegasus elements and the base Exodus elements. (Exodus mainly adds new skill card options and crisis cards.) The crew will also be voting on three rules options:

1. Loyalty and executions. In Pegasus, all the loyalty cards get dealt out, and if you execute a human, you know the replacement will also be human. In Exodus, not all the loyalty cards get deal out, and executed humans ge a new card, so their replacement could be a Cylon.

2. Nukes. In the base game, nukes only hit Cylon ships, and can bag up to a basestar and 3 raiders. There's an Exodus module where the nukes can, if you roll high, destroy everything in a sector - friend and foe.

3. Investigative Committees. In the base game, ICs reveal all cards in the skill check, including Destiny. In Pegasus, they reveal the cards added by players, but not Destiny.

The players in this game will vote on which options they prefer.

If anyone else wants to sign on, we have one slot left open, which is available until everyone's put in their character choices.
