I'll take you all on! You'll never see it coming!I think that's what you said of me, last game.
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

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

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]

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

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.

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

I say yea

Wish I could join you guys this time around, but I'm heading directly into my really busy season and I'd only be delaying the game a lot.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Sure, why not?

I'd rather have a slow game with ND than a quick game without him.

When I say I'd delay the game, I mean there might be point where it would be days between when I could post a move. I'd really cripple the game. I'm heading into Horror Nights, and Wicked Lit, and the Beverly Hills install, as well as a few show designs.

One option I'd been pursuing is if there were anyone who could take over for Drew later on, but I don't think it's going to happen. No matter.
The votes are in favour; we will include the new Daybreak characters as options for this game. I'll get the files ready and then we can start.
