I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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

And no jump icon either. Ugg. At least the BaseStar is on its last legs. Sadly, not down enough to not fire a salvo off. I don't think we can afford one of us in the brig, unless we know s/he is the cylon.

OPTION 1. Pass on interrupts.

Fire on Pegasus.

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

BSG

Everyone passes on interrupts.

Die roll: 4. Fail! 2 Treachery are added to Destiny, which now contains 20 cards.

Finally, the basestar fires at Pegasus!

Die roll: 5. Hit! And it hits... Main Batteries!

That concludes Hoshi's turn. Helo's cards are going out. Helo, when you're reday, please post your move and action.

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

BSG (Helo)

Ugh sorry guys but I gotta play a Mutiny card.

Luckily the president won't suffer too much from my Blackmail.

Blackmail! Helo takes 3 random skill cards from the President. They have both received updated card holdings. That really makes this next crisis card feel nicely appropriate. Helo's crisis card is:

Insubordinate Crew
Skill Check (12 GP)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, RO, ASC, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for the check itself. Apollo plays first, Helo last.

I can help a lot on this check. Indeed I must in order to have 10 or fewer cards left at the end of my turn.

Helo plays Guts and Initiative 2. Destiny shall not play into this check.

Edit: unless someone puts in a TI-0.

Edit: And, of course, this check is now Reckless.

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.

Geek & Sundry's new show involves a bunch of voice actors playing D&D together and it's excellent. I've only managed to watch about an hour and a half of the first episode, but their ability to play off one another and the DM's ability to improvise is both highly impressive and hilarious. (NSFW language and subject matter) [link] The characters also all have very distinct voices as well, but that's kind of expected, considering what the players and DM do for a living.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG (Baltar)

I play 1 card.
