edit: also,, since I start on the bench, does that mean I don't get a starting draw?
No, you still get a starting draw, and a regular draw on your first turn. You just don't get a move and action. (On which note, what colours would you like for your starting draw?)
BSG (Helo)
make that 1G, 1P, 1R. thanks!

She's a Cylon!
If that's how it works, Starbuck's about to feel awfully lonely.

I now have everyon'e starting draw, to wit:
Baltar:
1 Yellow, 1 Green, 1 Blue
Chief:
1 Yellow, 1 Green, 1 Blue
Cally:
1 Yellow, 1 Green, 1 Blue
Helo:
1 Green, 1 Purple, 1 Red
Gaeta:
1 Green, 1 Purple, 1 Blue
Yep, Baltar, Chief and Cally all went for exactly the same card draw. Destiny has been built, trauma has been dispensed liberally. Everyone has received their loyalty cards. All that remains is the obliteration of the Twelve Colonies and... done. Buffistica 17 is ready to depart!
Starbuck, your turn is first. What would you like for your variable draw?
Can I get put on the kibbitzing bench? Especially with the new elements, I'd like to see the behind the veil stuff, even if I can't play.
