I don't have much in the way of help from the Quorum right now but I'm hopefully that I can draw something good from that deck if I get a chance.
I'm also happy to see we have another pilot, we'll that shortly.
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

You did tell me to choose my character wisely!

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

Two ships prepped. Two ships prepped and a power plant unattacked. Maybe it's time to do something about that. Kat's crisis is:
Resistance Bombings
Skill Check (12 GPB)
Possible interrupts: IC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Roslin plays first, Kat last.

Thrive to spite them
Is the skill check GPB as it's listed here, or YPB like it's on the email?

Hey gang, I don't know if anyone here plays tabletop games using the HERO system, but Steve Long is doing a kickstarter project for Mythic Hero, which is intended to be a comprehensive encyclopedia of world mythologies for use in game settings.
Steve's a fellow mythology buff, and has been putting a ton of research into the project, especially for belief systems that don't get much exposure in game materials (like Pre-Columbian, North American Indian, and African cultures, and I've pointed him to resources on Mongolian/Turkic mythology and Patricia Monaghan's Encyclopedia of Goddesses and Heroines for a less patriarchal viewpoint). Even if you don't use this particular game system, the entries on the cosmologies of various religions and descriptions of the assorted gods, monsters, and heroes from mythology might be handy to have for your games, or interesting as recreational reading in general.
Please take a look and see if it's something you'd be interested in helping to support.

Oh frak. Please don't kill me, I got some sweet cards, and I'd rather use them, then be forced to toss them. Plus, that shit hurts. Sure, I come back to life and all, but I remember the being killed, and the pain of the injury. And, well, it hurts. I may develop Post-traumatic stress disorder. And I'm the only doctor on this ship. I can't prescribe meds for myself. I'm not a shrink. I can't lay on my own couch and take notes on my problems and come up with objective ideas. Be humane. Don't kill me.
Kat might be a toaster now. Nobody knows what her cards say. And if nobody else drew the 2nd card, wouldn't it go to her?? Oh wait, you can only off an outed toaster. Frak.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Mythic Hero looks very interesting. I wish I had some money to support it.

I can help. We only need a partial pass. Let's not overplay.
Pass on interrupts.
