Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

We promise we won't bite.

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

Unless we are Cylon...

Our wings are not tired

I'm tempted to join this round, but I don't think I will. By the middle of August I will be up to my neck in work and I doubt the game will be complete by then.

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

We have a few people who are especially busy over the summer. At this stage it looks like we may only have four people for this game. Four is playable, though it means that whoever gets the Cylon card will be on their own (we'll use the No Sympathiser variant).

If there is anyone else who'd like to sign on, whether you've played before or not you'd be very welcome.

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

I'll take you all on! You'll never see it coming!

No, no one would ever suspect you of being a Cylon. Never.

I think that's what you said of me, last game.

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.

Sorry, I'm going to have to pass again.

ION, for the TTRPGers, this article on how to be a better role-player is really good. [link]

BSG

The next game of BSG is taking shape. This is going to be something of a placeholder game, as a number of regulars are otherwise committed over the summer (ironically, I'm on my winter break between semesters and this is a great time for me to be running it). We'll have four players: -t, Polter-Cow, Laga and omnis. Looking at everyone's votes, the game will include Conflicted Loyalties and head to the Ionian Nebula.

There is one final option for the players to decide on: later this year, FFG is releasing a third expansion set, Daybreak. They've released some sneak previews, including five new characters: Romo Lampkin, Doc Cottle, Brendan "Hot Dog" Costanza, Louis Hoshi and the Cylon leader D'Anna Biers. Links here:

With the exception of D'Anna (with only four players, we won't have a Cylon leader), we could include the Daybreak characters as play options in this game. Intrepid crew, cast your votes: should we include the four Daybreak characters? Vote yea or nay.

Ooh, those are some interesting characters.

I'm fine with including them.
