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.

BSG

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.

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.

BSG

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.

BSG

Files have gone out! We are ready to begin character selection. This will be a four-player game heading for the Ionian Nebula. We will use the official No Sympathiser variant - this means that resources begin at a lower level, and revealed Cylons draw one additional card on their turn.

I have randomly generated the player order, and it is:

Polter-Cow
-t
Laga
omnis_audis

P-C, you are the first player, and therefore you have the first pick of your choice of character. When you're ready, please post your choice. Everyone else, you can send me COs for your choice. In addition - don't forget this - everyone but P-C, also send me your choice of starting card draw (three cards taken from your regular draw). Once everyone has chosen their character, the SS Space Camel will be ready to fly.
