Sickbay, no?

Let's see what horrors Caprica has in store for you this time, humans.

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

BSG

Horrors of Caprica have been sent to Romo. When you're ready, please post your choice.

Well, that doesn't sound too bad. Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Zarek plays first, Romo last.

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

BSG

Hey folks, FYI. The next few days I'm going to be a bit preoccupied with wedding stuff. My online time will be sporadic through Tuesday.

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

Frak I feel like we have to pass this but I can only help a little.

Chief Tyrol promises, but can he deliver? As the initial payment, he offers the following interrupts:

Restore Order 4
Scientific Research 5

Blue is now positive for this check. In addition, the skill check abilities of 0-value and Treachery cards will have no effect within the check! A bold move there. Chief Tyrol: leader of men. Control freak. Furry.

Everyone else passes on interrupts. The check begins:

An Offer of Peace: 12 (6) YG(B)

Destiny: 2 cards
Zarek:
Kat:
Chief:
Romo: (max 1 card)

Zarek is first.

[DnD 5th ed commentary]

Yeah, I'm digging the hell out the ruleset so far. Even the stuff I'm not as hep on looks like it'll be easy to sub out. I ran my crew through the Caves of Chaos with various iterations of the playtest rules, and I have to say I'm pretty happy with what they brought out of the test.

I've been running a mid-high range Pathfinder game for the last few months, and as much fun as it is, I'm finding myself growing less and less fond of the fiddly numbers-wankery and infinite rules-cruft. I'm hoping this will prove a pleasant alternative.
