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.

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.

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

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

An early jump at this stage will risk 3 Population.

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.

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

But I have a plan! It is strategic.

If Cally has been planning and scheming, then I say, let's do it! Last thing we wanna do, is piss her off. Dude shoots people in the face!

Well, there's Communications. Or jumping. You could do that too, I guess. Cally has given me her orders: Activate FTL Control, play Strategic Planning 3.

Die roll: 5 + 2 = 7. Pass! The humans' good fortune with the dice continues. The whole fleet jumps safely. Tour Director Cottle, I have some destinations for you to peruse. When you're ready, please post your choice.

Well, you still have 3 Food, so it's entirely possible.

Well, looks like we got us A Civilian Convoy (and an earworm, but maybe that's just me). And because we have so much Morale just lying around we'll trade some for Fuel.

Welcome to the Crossroads, my friends, be very careful what deals you agree to.
