D&D Stuff
So I've decided to convert my (currently on hiatus) Pathfinder campaign over to 5E. Even with the work of converting everything in the Adventure Path, I think it will still end up easier on me.
Since 5E expects less magic items (and eliminates a lot of the various protection items that are pretty much required in 3.x/PF) I'm over-hauling their gear and trying to give everyone a unique item tied to their character concept (along with couple other standard items.) I like how much easier that is in 5E.
Instead of trying to figure out what spells and feats are required to make it and what plus value to assign to the abilities and how much it costs, I just have to decide what it does, look to see how anything similar works and determine its rarity. Done.

The President's been back for something like five days. Could we get the game moving again?
BSG (Apollo)
I'm checking to make sure we are not waiting on a move from me.
BSG
We're waiting on a move from Helo, though he did ask you a question a few posts back that you can answer if you want.
BSG (Apollo)
In answer to repairs, I can work the Quorum, but I don't have anything at hand to enable repairs.
BSG (Helo)
I can't think of a better option.
I will
move to Sector 5
and play
xo-1 on President Apollo
LEGO
The first Raptor level in Lego Jurassic World is making me want to see them show up in Aperture Science.

Apologies for the delay. I've been down with the weirdest illness I've had in some time, the primary symptoms keep changing on me. Apollo has activated the Quorum Chamber twice to draw four Quorum cards.
Anyway, I feel bad about leaving things so long, so this seems like an appropriate crisis card:
Guilty Conscience
Skill Check (7 YG)
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.
BSG (Admiral Tigh)
Well, I think we will burn more cards doing the skill check, then Helo being ofrced to discard 3. I vote tank.
Sadly, no jump icon.
