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

The first one?This is the one I streamed. I believe it's the first. But, I'm far from the expert.
Description is:
Since high school, a group of friends has been playing the game Demons, Nymphs and Dragons, and they're finally about to break the world record for total hours played. A documentary crew follows this set of geeks as they prepare to make history. Kelly LeBrock, William Katt, John Heard and Beverly D'Angelo co-star in this send-up about fantasy nerds from writer and director Christopher Folino.

Ahh no. That looks interesting. Is it any good? This is the one before Dorkness Rising.

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

President Roslin discards: Y1, Y1, G1.
Captain Apollo has chosen to draw: 2 Yellow, 1 Purple, 2 Red. I've sent him his cards.

That's it. Totally tired of you whiny blood-filled sacks of mostly water. I'm taking my shiny toys and going home - well, to the shiny Ship - to play with my better friends who, amazingly, look just like me.
I've dreamt of perfect harmony in future karaoke performances; now I'll get it.
Boomer, you're tone-deaf. The second bullet is for my brain. The first is for yours.
I'm sure it pleases everyone that Baltar was right.
Food for thought, meatwads: I'm not the only Cylon in your little fleety-thing.
BSG
I discard the following huge glut of cards: R1 R1 R3 R5 G1 G2 G5 P1 P3 P5. That leaves me with my necessary 3.
Boomer, you're in Sickbay (I keep typing Brig; that's player-wishful-thinking). Please discard 5 cards. (This is the condition of my "You are a Cylon" card.)

BSG
Captain Apollo is no more. You will henceforth refer to the Apollo unit as "Apollo 13".
A couple of cleanups here:
Boomer, you're in Sickbay, not the Brig. You do need to discard 5 cards, though. That will leave you with two cards. When you're ready, please post your discards.
I made a mistake in the cards I sent Apollo, and his actual discards are:
R1 R1 R3 R5 G1 G2 G5 P1 P3 P4
Once Boomer posts her discards, that will conclude Apollo 13's turn and Boomer's turn will commence. Boomer, since you're in Sickbay, you'll draw just one card. Please advise what colour you would like. (You draw from your usual skill set, so Purple, Red or Blue.) Then, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

bt, insent with card choices.
Doctor! Keep it together. It could have been worse. Thankfully I jumped us out of cylon infested space before Deuce there finally confessed its status. I think had it been done earlier, we would have activated all those birds, and a fragfest would have ensued. Let's keep a POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE. With that, we will get POSITIVE RESULTS!
MOVEMENT: I move to armory. Now that we have an announced Cylon, I think he can activate that short-bus riding toaster. I wanna smoke it before he can do any damage to us. ACTION: Roll game master. Give me a nice 7 or 8 to fry that toaster!
(I'd try to get one of you out of the brig. Alas. I have no cards to do it).

Boomer has discarded: R1 R1 R2 R2 B1. She has drawn a Purple card. Shooting at the Centurion is a die roll, and therefore may be modified by a Strategic Planning. We'll pause for interrupts.
