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

We were going to go to the superawesome gaming store when we got back from breakfast but D just sat down in a recliner and fell asleep. I'd wake him but he's on vacation.

So I'm browsing on line. How useless is this and why do I want one so much? I already have one of these.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I found out that Wii Sports Resort has some flying games, so I couldn't resist.

It's pretty fun.

Laga, I built myself one of these mostly because it has DM-facing as well as player-facing die-rolling towers.

And it's very imposing.

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

I have orders from everyone. Plays are:

Destiny: 2 cards
Baltar: 1 card
Apollo: no cards
Boomer: 1 card
Adama: 1 card
Roslin: 1 card

Results:

Yellow 1
Yellow 3
Purple 1
Purple 2
Green 1
Red 2

Tally: 7 - 3 = 4. Fail. The President remains brigged.

This ends President Roslin's turn. Dr Baltar, you're up next. I'm sending you your cards. When you're ready, please post your action.

Oh, one last thing: President Roslin, you have 13 cards remaining in your hand. You will need to discard 3 cards. When you're ready, please post your discards.

That particular dice tower sucks, Laga. It's really freaking loud and comes apart randomly. Also if you're rolling more than two dice at once they don't stay in the catch tray at the bottom.

We do use ours for games where a spastic dice roll can mess up the board, or when you don't feel like retrieving dice from under the table.

We did end up going to the game store where they had a die rolling tower for sale but luckily I decided it was too silly and did not buy it.

Checking email now.

Baltar plays a Yellow 1 (consolidate power) to draw two Purple cards.
