you know, metalman may have a point. Chances are good with this jump we will enter the endgame. Do we need Pegasus for that?

Do we need another battlestar for the MASSIVE CYLON ASSAULT? Let me think.....
It's a crapshoot taking damage on Galactica, but is it better than losing our other ship completely?

I would hate to see her go. To have the fleet cut in half would surely have a mental effect on us humans, and give a rallying cry to the Cylons. Keeping her, limping along, could be a drain on resources. If you want to keep her, then XO me, and I will help her along. I don't want to save the beast, just to see her done in the next crisis card.

Let us all bow our heads in a moment of silence. There were a lot of brave souls on that ship. They may be lost, but they are not forgotten.

Pegasus has been destroyed! Galactica continues alone. Finally, the jump track advances. That concludes Cally's turn. Helo's cards are going out. Helo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Did we come to a decision about jumping early? I feel we're in a really bad spot here. Any other bright ideas?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I don't have kids but a recent Penny Arcade series is tangential to this topic.
Yeah. I enjoyed that arc. Reminded me of the games we made up as kids.
So I broke out the Beginner Box this morning and let him roll up a character. He made an elven fighter named Link (Typical 5 year-old. I recently saw a post elsewhere from someone whose young son named his character "Batman") who carries a longbow and a war hammer.
We only played through the first combat in the BB adventure (against two unarmored goblins) and I had the pre-gen cleric from the set go with him as an NPC. The cleric ended up playing the damage sponge while he hung back and plunked away with his bow, but he managed to drop both goblins.
The gf said she'll probably make up a character and play with him, but she's not feeling well today and wasn't up to it.
So far he's enjoying it, but he finds all the different dice confusing and isn't quite up to adding up more than single-digit numbers yet, so I'm helping him with the math.
At least we're not trying to use Thac0.

I'm always hesitant to jump early, due to high potential of loss of population. I also thought the civvie ships risk destruction, but I just combed through rules books, and saw no mention of that, so it's less likely an issue, but BT can confirm that. I would much rather NOT risk population, not knowing what the Nebula battle will do to us, and suggest communications on ships D and B. If Ship D is worth keeping, then move it out of harms way. We could only pick one of B or H, coin flip. If worth keeping, move it. If not, move the other, just to be safe. The RSV will protect it.
