On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I think I'd probably be more interested in the Pegasus modules before the Exodus ones. I think I'd want to do those too eventually, but I don't want to add too much complexity all at once.

We could probably do both Pegasus modules at once, really, since New Caprica doesn't affect the game at all until the end.

I could go for CL and CL, and maybe CF, since that's mostly new bookkeeping for the GM. I think I'd vote against either new destination, at least for now.

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

Sounds like there's some interest in expanding the options for the next game. I'm thinking the first step is to whittle down all the options to the ones in which there's strong interest. Then we can work out what to do from there. (I recommend we add one, and strongly recommend against adding more than two.)

So, could everyone indicate, for each available element, whether you think it should be under consideration, or ruled out. Voting on:

Cylon Leader
New Caprica
Conflicted Loyalties
Cylon Fleet
Ionian Nebula

Ha, we are all united in our desire not to try Ionian Nebula right now. That one sounds SUPER TRAUMATIC. (Literally, there are trauma tokens.)

Cylon Leader, New Caprica, and Cylon Fleet all have one detractor, and we are, well, conflicted on Conflicted Loyalties.
