BSG (Leoben)
A very fun game. I liked the new elements although it added to the confusion for me, maybe playing a cylon leader was a bit too much for me.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

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 for one am shocked that in a game containing both P-C and ND, neither of them was a Cylon.

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

This is in fact the second game where both ND and P-C were human. (Out of 10 games with both of them.)

X-Posted with Animation:
So I got Young Justice: Legacy for Christmas, and so far I'm very underwhelmed. Graphics/animation look dated; each character has all of three catch-phrases they say over and over again in combat; the music is annoying and repetitive; the camera frequently gets stuck behind scenery during fights; forcing you to try to move it while trying to not get your head knocked off; it's difficult to tell where you're actually able to go, as invisible walls are everywhere and the assorted caches you find are either broken and have nothing in them, or the game is simply not telling you what you find, while still prompting you to hit the button to open them even after the lid is open.
It's sad, really, as the entire voice cast is there (so far) and I know Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti wrote the script of the game and consulted with the game creators to make sure everything was canon. I know Greg Weisman in particular wanted the game to be successful as a potential jumping-off point for continuing the franchise, but the game itself is pretty lame as an actual game.

Firefly the boardgame. Still conflicted about this game but I do believe you can criticize something and enjoy it at the same time. Does anyone else own a copy? Do you think it would be possible to run an on-line game?

As we enter the new year, I'm back at my job full-time, we're getting Ryan ready to start at school, I've signed up for two online courses from Harvard (Chinese history and computer programming) and I've got four library books still unread and mocking me from the bedside table. Oh, and I'm trying to pull together some stats analysis on BSG games on boardgamegeek. Naturally, this is the time that I'm starting up on organising our next BSG game. I propose to run it using the same elements as we used last game (including Daybreak and the other expansions, with optional modules limited to Conflicted Loyalties, and Cylon Leader if anyone picks one).
Time to decide. Who's in for the twentieth flight of Battlestar Galactica? All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again. Post here or send me an email.

I'm in with the same stuff.
