That does sound interesting!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
One might think people's interest was piqued. One might even think that people would like to see Daybreaky elements in the next game of BSG.
It will take me a little while to add the Daybreak materials to my game files, but once that's done, who's in for the next game? I propose to include all the following:
- All the standard elements from the base game and the Pegasus, Exodus and Daybreak expansions. This means that you will now have 33 characters to choose from, including Cylon leaders.
- Conflicted Loyalties from the Exodus expansion.
- There'll be a couple of new mechanisms (mutiny and miracles, most notably) to work out, so I will exclude New Caprica, the Cylon Fleet and the Ionian Nebula.
- If the number of players would call for a Sympathiser, we'll use the Mutineer instead.
- We will use the Daybreak Treachery rather than the Pegasus Treachery.
- I strongly recommend that someone play a Cylon leader, because Motives. (We will use Motives.)
This is all up for discussion, of course. So! Anyone with an interest in the next outing, let me know:
1. That you're interested.
2. Anything I should know about your availability.
3. Whether the proposed game elements work for you, or if you'd like to make some changes.
4. Your vote in the vexing question of what we should call New Baltar. Your options are:
a. New Baltar.
b. Baltarnate.
c. Cultar.
In-thread or email. Who's in the crew?

Alternate sounds good. I'm up for a game and don't have anything to pressing that will get in the way.

ND seems to think he has a vote. I assume that means you're signing in as well?
I've had an email from omnis too, so we have four players so far: NoiseDesign, omnis, askye and P-C. Anyone else who's interested, sign in quick.

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

BSG
Progress report: I've finished updating my reference file and the game record template. There's still the formatting file to go.
We have six places filled. We can go up to seven players, so there's room for one more. I'm waiting to hear back from a couple of people. Once I get yeas or nays, we can get the first airing of Daybreak underway.

So here's the thing, I have now prepared ALL THE FILES, which means that we're kind of ready to go. I have one more invitation out, to Liese, but I think she might still be on tour, I haven't seen her checking in since maybe August.
So, we have a crew of six people:
askye
chrismg
Laga
NoiseDesign
omnis_audis
Polter-Cow
Within the next 24 hours, you can expect to get the game files and a turn order, and then we will be underway.
