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

I'll take 1Y, 1G, 1B, please.

Hello everyone! Good to meet/renew acquaintance with you all. I'll most likely airlock you in the morning.

BSG

Standing behind the lectern in the CAG, I take 1P, 1G, and 1Y with a thrust of my brooding (yet powerful) jaw.

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

BSG

Ok, we just need to hear from Adama (Raq) and Roslin (Sean) on their card draws and we're good to go.

Also, man, of all the times to not be on the board...I thought all I was missing was a bit of BSG talk. And Random woke me up with "Mal wants pancakes and we're waiting on you to draw cards..."

MUCH less impressive and exciting than what Kristin had waiting for her on the board!

Congrats ND and Kristin - you guys rock, and I wish you all the best.

What's the difference between the colors of cards?

(And let this stand as a suggestion for italicized BSG to stand for OOG questions)

BSG

Green is leadership, purple is tactics, yellow is politics, red is piloting, and blue is engineering.

So that means the actions on the ones that are Action cards will relate to that field (like piloting cards can be to get additional attacks). I'm not sure if the distribution of strength values is the same in each color; billytea?

BSG

Is it possible for none of the players to be a Cylon, or is one of us "for sure" a Cylon? Is it possible that more than one of us is a Cylon?

BSG

I think one of us is for sure a cylon.

Is there a PDF of our Character sheets somewhere? edit- found them in the game board email.
