I see Bioware is about to release a new RPG. As a huge fan of Baldur's Gate II, I'm very tempted to buy it. OTOH I don't know if I'll actually have time to play it. I have a Best Buy gift certificate that I haven't used for five months because I didn't have anything I wanted to buy. Maybe I should just use it, at worst I have a game sitting on my shelf instead of a Best Buy gift certificate.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

Now that I look at it, I see that was an utterly pointless post.

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

Pradmiral Tigh plays an SP-4 on the basestar attack. With the structural damage, this adds 4 to the die roll, making it a guaranteed hit. But I like rolling dice, so let's see what we get.
Die roll: 8 + 4 = 12. Yep, that hits. Damage token: Disabled Weapons. This basestar may no longer fire at Galactica.
Chief, what would you like to do for your second action?

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

So the basestar can't fire on us but it can still launch ships at us? I fire on the basestar.

Pause once again for interrupts. Should be a short pause this time around.

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.
BSG
None here.

I have passes from everyone now. Let's roll.
Die roll: 4 + 2 = 6. Hit. Basestar destroyed. There go my dreams of Fendahl creation. You know, one of these days I'm going to keep a basestar around long enough to do something useful with it.
However, the next threat to the fleet comes from within. Pradmiral Tigh, your Crisis Card is:
Detector Sabotage
Skill Check (8 GP)
Possible interrupts are Investigative Committee and/or Scientific Research. We'll pause for everyone to pass or play.

No interrupts. Damn, that card has a nasty troubling effect.
