I know Sean totally thought Raq and hubby were cylons. Funny really.
Six players all up, though on BGG they've run some experimental games with ten. You interested?
Yes, I'd be interested. I just ordered a copy from Amazon so it'll be here Friday.
A 10 player game would rock. It would probably be chaos but such GLORIOUS chaos.
Nothing could be further from the truth actually. Watching this last game I knew I'd much rather be one of the humans with their brave struggle.
Which is ironic as I think I'd like to play Saul Tigh.
Ya, I'm trying to think who I'd like to play if/when we play again. I rather like Boomer. But I'm also wanting to try something else. Maybe Starbuck.
Omnis, you apparently have a thing for damaged goods.
Oh wait, that's the entire cast.
um ya. Tis true. You would think with so many "damaged goods" out there, I'd have a flock of women at my door. Apparently I'm also a "nice guy" which has a stronger repellent.
Oh, you meant for the show/game. Right. um. ya.
Which is ironic as I think I'd like to play Saul Tigh.
I think he's the best character to play, actually. He's my preferred character these days.
Starbuck's fun to play also, but the pilots are sort of...like playing a fighter in D&D as opposed to playing a magic-user. Rather than trying to come up with creative combinations or solutions, your gig is to shoot stuff.
that's what I thought, and then spent half the game running the ship and trying to save it from ruin.
I have no problem with being a fighter in D&D so maybe being one of the mindless cannons would be good for a first game.
I dunno.
So, not promising it would start this week or anything, but if I ran a second game of Battlestar Galactica, who would be interested? I've counted Pete, Stunthusband and Omnis so far. Anyone else?
I'd be interested. My previous offers of trying to run a game of Republic of Rome, or even a game of Mafia/Werewolf also stands, but I leave that to the interest of the thread.
Also, with the caveat that for the next couple of weeks, I'll be pretty busy, so any game I play will have to be patient with me, and I would be unable to start running a game for at least two weeks.
