Okay, who here has played Fiasco, and why didn't you tell me about it? And if you did, how bad was I skipping and skimming? Because O. M. fucking G.
If you don't know it, Fiasco is a storytelling game; picture an RPG without a DM, levels, skills, dungeons, dragons, or really much else beyond the role-playing part. You start with a scenario (called a "playset", but I'm ehhh on that term) that might be something like "the old west", or "a disco", or "right before the alien invasion arrives". Dice rolls determine story elements like relationships (crime boss/minion! volunteers at the same church! both of these things at once!), needs, settings, significant objects. And then the game consists of ad-libbing the story that the bastard dice stuck you with.
Until another set of dice rolls FUCKS YOU OVER REAL HARD and you very likely end up dying a horrible death in scenario- and character-appropriate ways.
"Winning" pretty much consists of saying totally outrageous things to crack up your game-mates in potentially uncomfortable ways.
We played for the first time this weekend after our regular D&D game and a shit-ton of really good bourbon, and ever since, we've been saying, "ya know, this would make a great Fiasco playset."
If you don't believe me, ask Wil Wheaton and John Rogers.
AND NOW, BACK TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED TOASTERS. Who should totally be in a Fiasco playset. Hell, they ARE a Fiasco playset.
BSG
Cally moves to the Armoury, where Boomer would like to have a chat about how raptor landings could be made easier.
Boomer is Antagonistic;
Galactica is damaged! More precisely, Cally chooses which battlestar is damaged. Cally, do you wish to assign the damage to Galactica or Pegasus?
BSG (Cally)
I should have stayed in the Press room.
I'll pick
Pegasus
BSG
Boomer flies her raptor right into Pegasus'
Airlock.
That rouses
Kendra Shaw in Main Batteries.
Cally is out of trauma tokens; Shaw therefore gets a token drawn randomly from the spares.
Cally then repairs the Armoury; but it's a trap! Bringing the security system back up releases a:
Cylon Virus
Skill Check (13 PB)
Possible interrupts: IC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG
Administrative note: strictly, Kendra Shaw is supposed to appear in Weapons Control. The Ionian Nebula is part of Exodus, and does not assume Pegasus is in play. I've shifted four NPCs to the four Pegasus locations, including Kendra Shaw.
BSG (President)
Skill Check (13 PB)
Half of those are not in my draw, and I just had to discard a ton. I can only help a little.
BSG (Gaeta)
I can help a little, but I'm going to suggest a tank, especially since we have the Armory back now. It's a pretty high check, and we will probably lose a few SPs that we could instead put to use blowing the Centurion away.
If other people can help a lot, though, I'm fine to go for it.

I'm with Felix, with no one in FTL, and no Cylons in the air, we should be able to take care of it, especially since Cally is in the Armoury to be XO'd.
