move out and draw fire

We are playing Baldur's Gate with the sprog, letting him be the main character but suggesting towards NPCs we haven't used before if he doesn't care. What an awesome game.

So I can't wait for the new one, but I sort of want coop mulitplayer without DM, because I have no need for more DM'd games. I just want something I can play with people.

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 would be surprised if co-op mode in the new D&D game required a DM. I know BG2 (not sure about 1) supported co-op play.

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

BSG

It's on! I have everyone's play:

The Olympic Carrier: 11 YGR

Destiny: 2 cards
Baltar: 0 cards
Hoshi: 2 cards
Helo: 0 cards
Apollo: 2 cards

Cards played:

All Hands on Deck 0
Executive Order 2
Declare Emergency 3
Restore Order 4
Critical Situation 5
Dogfight 0

Tally: 9 - 5 = 4. Fail! However, there are two 0-value cards in the check. The AHoD-0 adds 2. Tally is 6!

The Dogfight-0 allows Apollo to damage a viper and remove one other card from the check. Apollo, will you do so? And if so, which card will you remove?

Our wings are not tired

BSG (Apollo)

So if I am reading this correctly, I can damage a viper, remove the CS5, and we will exactly pass the check?

Well, then the final tally is 11. Pass!

Finally, the jump track advances. Obliging of it. That concludes Apollo's turn. Baltar's cards are going out. Dr Baltar, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

Administrative note: the last skill check reduced the destiny deck to 6 cards. I've replenished and reshuffled it.

Oops, I forgot something. Apollo had left COs for if the check passed: play Change of Plans 5. Everyone may draw 2 cards from their own skill set. Everyone, please post which colour(s) you would like to draw.
