SORRY!
I play one card.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

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

Result: 12 - 4 = 8. Pass - no effect.
Next, raiders activate and shoot at Apollo:
Raider 1:
6. Hit! But Apollo plays an EM-1. Reroll at -2:
Raider 1a:
1 - 2 = -1. Doesn't get more evasive than that.

another
EM (2).Reroll at -2:
Raider 2a:
3 - 2 = 1. Miss.
Raider 3:

Finally, there's no jump icon. That concludes Boomer's turn. Apollo, I'm sending you your cards. (Apollo has opted to draw 2 Green.) When you're ready, please post your move and action.

End-of-turn summary. I'm trying out something a little different here. One basestar has a Disabled Hangar, which I've listed next to it. Let me know if it's more confusing than helpful.

On another note, I'm off to Canberra tomorrow for three days. I'll try to keep things moving from there, but I'm not sure what sort of internet access I'll have.

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.

Wow. That check was a lot closer than I expected for the low target number. Glad I played my card. I probably won't be able to help much, if at all, with the next crisis, though.
Nice flying, Apollo.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Whew. Good roll outs there. Well? Options here, as this is a group game. Should I XO Adama to nuke the undamaged mothership? Or max fire on some of these critters in my sector?

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

This does seem like a good time to use nukes. I've got an evasive manoevre left if you get into trouble.

Hey DMs, how do you deal with a player who is never ready when their turn comes? (I'm talking about tabletop, I'm pretty patient when it comes to BSG).
Fred Pete - Dec 23, 2009 10:36:19 am PST #5099 of 26134
Ann, that's a ferret.
Laga, I once played under a GM who demanded that you act in real time. If you didn't act as soon as he called on you, he assumed your character just stood around doing nothing, and he'd move on to the next player.
That meant you had to pay attention, and it kept things moving (helpful when you had a lot of players, as this guy's game did at one point). But I also found it a bit frustrating as a player because he didn't allow for questions to clarify things the character would have observed while everyone else was acting.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I've thought about instituting a 'one minute per turn' rule. I was pretty pokey myself yesterday when I had monsters on three different pages in the MM, but I'm worried that the two players I'm thinking of don't really enjoy the game in the first place. I'm trying to think of a nice way to say, "please consider what you're going to do on your next turn before it comes up."
