Randomly and independently makes sense to me within the current game.

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

BSG (Cally)

I agree with choice 1

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

BSG

That's half of the players, so at worst I'll be casting a tiebreaker. Option 1 it is, and we get new civvies in:

Sector 5
Sector 3

They didn't spread out much, but the new civvie in Sector 3 is now joined by four raiders. Next, the basestar fires:

Basestar: 5. Hit! First hit on Galactica! And it hits: Food. Food joins Morale on 3.

And so does the jump track, which takes another step forward. That concludes Cottle's turn. Cally's cards are going out. Cally, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

BSG (Cally)

I did not draw an XO. Just making sure, if we jump early the only thing we risk is population, correct?

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.

Non-BSG

Anyone have recommendations for Pathfinder-friendly Virtual Table Top software (I know Paizo is working on an official one, but it's still in closed beta)? I've decided to try my hand at running an online game since we're still nowhere near getting a gaming space setup in the house despite saying we're going to do it for over 3 years now.

I poked around Roll 20 a bit the other night, but it didn't wow me.

An early jump at this stage will risk 3 Population.

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

BSG (Starbuck)

Wow, thats a fair amount. Do we know what's in those civvies in Sector 3? Those guys are doomed soon. Population, we have the most of. We still need at least 2 more jumps, and still have to deal with the trauma tokens stage.

Given how much is in the air right now, I'd lean towards the early jump. Yikes! If we know C&K are decoy's, then I'd rather wait one more turn.

But I have a plan! It is strategic.

There's no telling what K has on board. I say we get while the gettin's good.
