What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG (Gaeta)

Yeah, the die roll makes sense. Just don't roll a frickin' 8 again.

Die roll it is.

Hey, P-C. If we do meet up at Worldcon, it might be nice to have a game of this that only takes one night to play.

Wouldn't it?? I own the damn game and haven't managed to play my own copy more than once. And that game spanned two nights. The first game we stopped halfway through. Only the first time I played did we actually finish in one night, and even then, one of the players had to leave halfway through, so I have not yet experienced a proper session.

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

BSG

Everyone passes on SPs.

Die roll: 8. Pass! No Centurion today.

That concludes Starbuck's turn. Baltar's cards are going out. President Baltar, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Oh, right, rolling high is good! Another 8! Well done, Starbuck.

All right, time to jump soon.

I have orders from Baltar:

Move to Main Batteries, discard Consolidate Power 2.

Here he encounters Kendra Shaw, who will cut him, yo. Because she's a Razor. Strangely, this is the Benevolent outcome. Baltar has given orders to lose 1 Morale to gain 1 Food.

Baltar just left the President's Office, so why not see if we can leave a surprise for him. the new NPC is Priestess Elosha, who has nothing better to do than bother the President (or, in his absence, she'll hang with Billy). President Baltar, when you're ready, please let me know which token to place on her.

Continuing with the orders:

Action: play Launch Scout 1 on the crisis deck. The roll may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for Calcs.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BSG (President)

Ignore this. Clearly confused again. Sorry. My advisors were opening their... folders... yes, folders. And blood flow was not in thinking mode.

Erase that, Mr President. You let me know which token you're playing - no one else is allowed to know.
