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

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

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

Sorry for the delay of game. I returned two cards to the Destiny deck and I am ready to open fire now.

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.

Oh! So I'm going to be on a cruise from Dec. 29 to Jan. 5 and likely won't have Internet access. Let's see if we can win or lose or lose or lose or lose or lose or lose before then.

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.
I got a copy of the Firefly board game as a gift a few weeks ago, but haven't had a chance to try it out yet. After reading through the rules, I decided I'm probably better off trying a solo game first, as the rules seem a little confusing and I could see trying to play being a mess if there's not someone at least slight familiar with how the game works.

Let's see if I can't accommodate that. Leoben returns two cards to the destiny deck, and then fires the Main Batteries at Sector 4! Everyone passes on interrupts.
Die roll: 3. Miss.
And that's the game, as the next crisis card is:
Analyse Enemy Fighter
Current Player's Choice
It has a raider activation, which means that - regardless of the outcome of the skill check - civilian ship B is about to be destroyed. It contains 2 Population. Population falls to 0.
CYLONS WIN!

Well fought though you failed humans. I was on your side most of the time.
Thanks again for being a top-flight A#1 GM, billytea!
