But the question is, would we resurrect Skarrin and Timory, or would we go nutty and create new characters?
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Never ever ever again. Being in that character headspace was both a symptom of, and a cause of, my own psychological dysfunction in the early 90s. I'm never going back into that space again; the Evil Overlord is about as close as I wanna get.

If you can find a small crew of rational gamers
let me know also! In fact, let the media know.

I am completely rational, and will kill any man, woman or treefrog that says otherwise.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
In the words of Niles Crane, "Don't you dare call me irrational! You know that makes me crazy!"

There's rational, and there's gamer, and then there's rational gamer.
2 out of 3 is okay.

I would join in a game of Republic of Rome. I would however caution that my experience running BSG suggests it's harder (and certainly more work for the coordinator) to manage a forum game where players don't own the game themselves.

Further news: Apparently Valley Games is reprinting Republic of Rome. [link] It has, however, experienced delays (I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you, that a board game publication might experience delays), currently they estimate maybe November. Sean, might I suggest that we wait until it's been reprinted to kick off a game? That way people who do want to buy it can do so.

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.
I'd love to play in a game of BSG (I was happy everytime I saw new posts in this thread.) but I sadly don't own the game even though I'd really like to after following the game here. As omnis so aptly put it: short on cash, long on Visa.

Of the five players who started Season 1, I think three didn't own the game. (Though I think at least two of them bought a copy as the game progressed.) So it's not necessarily fatal to participating, but it certainly would make things easier if you have access to a copy.
