What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG (Cain)

Oh. Well then.

In that case, Leoben, you better fire on Sector 4 or else hope we don't get a Raider activation.

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

Final piece of housekeeping from Cottle's turn: he finished with 11 cards still in hand, so he has to discard one. He tosses Exploit Weakness 5.

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

BSG (Toasty Hoshi)

Also note that the two remaining ships contain 2 Population and 1 Population, 1 Morale. The loss of either ship at this point would reduce a resource to 0.

Sweet!

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

Pass on interrupts.

Snake eye would be bad, Hoshi. Why are you wishing for that, you are mean.

GetFoG cards sent. Leoben, when you're ready, please let me know which cards to return to the destiny deck.

Firefly

So yeah, we got the Firefly board game for Xmas and since we are both children, we have already opened it and played two games. I am super conflicted. On the one hand, little plastic space ships! Fireflys! An Alliance Cruiser! A Reaver Cutter! You get to equip your own personal Firefly and choose a captain and fly from spaceport to spaceport hiring crew and transporting cargo and passengers both legal and illegal. Not to mention the many opportunities to misbehave.

On the other hand... the only playable female character is Nandi. All the other women you encounter in the game can be hired as crew and most of them have the special ability "Morale Booster" which reads, "You may use an action on your turn to remove Disgruntled from a crew..." This means that it ends up being cheaper for me to never pay Kaylee as long as I send Lucy to visit her in her quarters after each job.
