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

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.

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

I accept your scenario.

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.

I'd like it to be random whether an executed player comes back as a human or a cylon.
I'm in favor of nukes possibly harming civilians.
I prefer when Investigative Committe reveals destiny.

Voted and noted. Don't forget to send your character preferences too.

I promise I will send in my character selections before I get out of bed today.
Meanwhile I have a question about the Trust Instincts card.
Resolve Skill Check abilities on these cards.
What does that mean?

The 0-value cards have Skill Check abilities, which do get resolved on the extra Destiny cards. What I'm confused about is that the card specifies they're played face-up. Does that mean you draw 2 cards off Destiny face-up first, before anyone plays into the check? And then you draw 2 more at the end? That could be interesting, especially with the Skill Check abilities.
