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

Have you guys seen this cool demo of D&D on an MS Surface?

omg droooool. But doesn't the dire wolf draw an attack of opportunity when he passes the first player?

Here's my thought. We let the check pass or fail on just the destiny deck. If Tigh gets to go to sickbay, Helo XO's him so he can get out of there, do something, and get a full card draw on his turn.

If the tanked check fails to send Tigh to sick bay, XO me, and I'll shoot at toasters.

Sean sums it up perfectly and I concur.

Be aware Omnis, it's not your turn yet. We were just planning ahead.

So let the Crisis Card stand or fall on the Destiny Deck.

I think we have a consensus, BT. Humans will play no cards, and we have our contingencies for all possible outcomes.

I play zero cards.

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.

omg droooool. But doesn't the dire wolf draw an attack of opportunity when he passes the first player?

Yeah, it's funny they specifically mention it intentionally moving to avoid AoOs and then it trots right the one player's threatened area.

Still, very cool. Not sure I'd want to give up my real dice, though.

I liked the sound effect but yeah, I've got dice issues.

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

BSG

First off, my apologies in advance. My internet connection is acting up, and I may experience the odd delay in processing things. It's up for the moment, though, and here are everyone's orders:

Destiny: 2 cards
Helo: no cards
Starbuck: no cards
Tigh: no cards
Apollo: no cards
Chief: no cards
Zarek: no cards

Makes my life easy. Here are the cards:

Purple 2
Blue 1

Tally: 0 - 3 = -3. Fail. I have COs from Zarek: so it's come to light that President Tigh weighs the same as a duck. A bi-i-i-ig, angry duck. Better send him to Doc Cottle to get checked out.

Cylon: Heavy raiders. The heavy in Sector 1 moves to Sector 6. One more and it'll board.

Jump Prep: Yes. The fleet is now one icon away from jumping.

That concludes Mr Zarek's turn. Helo, I'm sending you your cards. I have COs from Helo, which we'll get to shortly.

I'm going to need clarification from Helo about his COs. In the meantime, his card draw exhausted the Leadership deck. I've reshuffled the discards.
