More about the coming new expansion: [link] Some highlights:
- They will in fact have new Cylon leaders.
- They'll also have new optional character cards for some of the existing characters. For instance, you can play Apollo as a political leader, or Baltar as a cult leader.
- There are new skill cards, including new Treachery cards.
- You can replace the Sympathiser card with a Mutineer card.
- You can replace the Cylon leader agendas with multiple Motives. (Example: "Savour Their Demise".)
In conclusion, Romo Lampkin's OPG lets him free any player from the Brig. And then take all their cards.
Holy shit, yeah, Romo Lampkin is pretty awesome in general. Hoshi is surprisingly sweet too.
Aaah the new Skill Cards are cool too. Like I said, can't wait to play them here because hell if I ever play this game in real life.
BSG (Starbuck)
Well it seems like I should be out in space to do some good, so I'm going to
Launch into Sector 5.
Is there a good way for me to get to the raiders and do some damage? I haven't played pilots all that much.
BSG (Gaeta)
Outside of Full Throttle, I don't think you can get to them on this turn.
Then I guess I will be in place here and play an
LS-2 and scout the crisis deck.
If we ever get out your way we are totally playing BSG with you, P-C.
I only have the base set! It will feel so anemic after playing with all the expansions!
