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

Meanwhile! The word from Apollo is: play Civilian Self-Defence. The CSS Hadrosaur flies straight into the heavy raider! It's a gutsy move, but will the civvie survive? Hadrosaurs are lovers, not fighters! The die roll to save civvie H may be modified by an SP. Everyone, please pass or play.

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

on the D&D online topic. Those of us in the Anderson-Grey household would like to know if either this new thing or Roll 20 allow for two players to use one computer.

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.

BSG in Roll20 would probably be a lot of work. The system allows you to build custom decks of cards, but someone would have to take the time to create all the cards in the system. Once it was setup though, it would probably work pretty well.

I don't see why two people couldn't use the same computer in Roll20 as long as they didn't mind each player having access to the other's character. Or you could possibly have it open in two different browsers and just switch between them when it was the other player's turn.

Apollo comes through again! He plays a Strategic Planning 4. The civvie is saved!

That's all well and good, but the good citizens are a little freaked that they were expected to ram a Cylon ship. That's what the military's for, isn't it? The trust is gone. I'm sorry, ramming Cylon ships; the trust is gone. They still have a Centurion stuck on the windshield! Apollo's crisis card is:

Rebuild Trust
Skill Check (9 YG)

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

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

BSG (Baltar)

Ooh, smooth move, Mr. President!

Pass on interrupts, I can help a lot on this check.

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

Well, that's a pass we do not care about. But a fail that is very bad. :sigh: Let's pass this thing.

I can help some.

Mr. Awesome GM, refresh my memory, if you can. Has any Treachery cards been shuffled in the deck?

Mr. Awesome GM, refresh my memory, if you can. Has any Treachery cards been shuffled in the deck?

Well, yes, when I created it for instance. I'm not sure there's a useful answer to this question, because of how the Destiny deck is managed - when it's replenished, six cards carry over. Those six cards could have been overweight or underweight on Treachery.

I can tell you that there are currently 18 cards in Destiny.
