GM's choice! EXcellent. So, let's see, what to do...
Right. We're looking at a four-player game. Fewer players generally makes a game easier to manage, and we have an experienced crew. This is probably a relatively convenient moment to try out a new game element. We will therefore play with the rule set from last game, with the addition of
The Search for Home.
This jaunt is heading straight for Earth. Just like Kobol, except it's 10 Distance instead of 8. You could use some help with that, so enter the good ship
Demetrius.
Four new locations to play with, allowing the crew to attempt exciting and dangerous Missions. (Given that Distance has increased by 2 - with no increase in any resources, including Fuel - you might like to make time for a Mission or two.)
I'll send out the files once I've done up a little guide to the new elements. However, this crew already has the character files from past games, so we can get started on that. Character order is:
Laga
omnis
Polter-Cow
chrismg
Players, start your character selection. Laga is up first, the rest of you can email me with your preferences.
Hey, I'd be interested in seeing the guide, even though I'm not playing this round.
BSG
Oh, I forgot to add: everyone except Laga, please also provide your choice of starting draw.
BSG
OK! I'll be
Louanne "Kat" Katraine.
Hands off my vitamins.
BSG
We have a pilot! Omnis is next. I had COs, but Laga's choice has
completely
invalidated them. So, who's your plan B?
BSG
Dang it. I figured Laga would go for a President or Admiral type.
Well, to make sure we can fix things, I'm going for the blue cards. I will play
Chief" Galen Tyrol.
BSG (Kat)
Sorry about that, Chief. It's been awhile since I got to flex my piloting muscles.
BSG
You want a Presidential type? How about
President Romo Lampkin
?
BSG (Kat)
nice. And this way if your pilot turns out to be a cylon y'all are a little less frakked since I'm such a terrible cylon.
I had pretty good luck with managing miracle tokens, let's see how good I am with mutiny cards.
I pick
Admiral Tom "Daybreak" Zarek.
