The vipers in Sector 5 attack the raiders twice. I have passes on interrupts.
Viper 1:
5. Hit!
Viper 2:
3. Hit! (Barely.) Both raiders destroyed.
I have COs from Admiral Adama. Since both raiders are destroyed, he will use his second action to launch a scout (P2). There's a die roll to determine the success of the scouting mission. I'll pause for SP interrupts. Everyone, please pass or play.
BSG
I pass.
ION we had a great time playing card games while Polter-Cow was here. He brought Pocket Rocket (we all agree the name is unfortnuate) Fluxx, Zombie Fluxx and Family Business, all of which were new to me. I really like Pocket Rocket but that was D's least favorite. I like building rockets, he prefers putting hits on mobsters. We'll probably compromise and buy some version of Fluxx.
BSG
I pass on interrupt.
Laga, did you ever do this with your mystery power? (scout the top card of the deck)?
BSG
Boomer did use her Recon power at the end of her turn, and opted to leave the card on the top of the deck (which became Apollo's Crisis Card, Forced Water Mining). My apologies, I neglected to state it at the time.
BSG
Pass on interrupts. I will, however, use my re-roll ability if the die roll fails.
BSG
I now have passes from everyone, so let's see how the scouting mission went:
Die roll: 8. Success! Adama has opted to scout the Destination Deck. Admiral, I'm ssending you the top card of the deck. When you're ready, please post whether you wish to put it on the top or the bottom of the deck.
That concludes Helo's action. Time for his Crisis Card. Looks like the water mining isn't going as smoothly as you thought:
Water Sabotaged

Helo, when you're ready, please post your choice.

What do you think, guys? I hate to lose the Food we just earned, but I'm not sure we've got the cards to pass another check so quickly. I can help a lot with the check, though.
D&D type stuff:
We played the new Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying game for several hours. My jury's still out on it, but leaning towards Do Not Like. The rules are almost unusable, so it's hard to tell if we were even playing correctly.
Also, after a couple months with Pathfinder - LOVE it. It's an improvement on 3.5 in so many ways. I highly recommend to those who liked 3.5.
