Pegasus does sound interesting. I was wondering if you could play some "outed" Cylons.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Um. Dante's Inferno has an M rating. Ya, that is well earned. The opening movie is pretty gruesome. I got to Limbo at first try. Um. Ya, I suck. Had to bump down to easy setting.

wow, a 3 day serial. Um. Potato(e) Chips?

I've been working with billytea to get his fabulous sheets understandable for others to use. I think I've hashed through it pretty good. But. Looking at it all, I realize, with 3 shows and a gala in the next 4-6 weeks, I'm probably not the best person to run the game. BT has it pretty sweet, so that you can run the show from the excel sheets, don't even need a copy of the board game. It helps as a reference, no doubt, but not needed. So? Anyone game?

Anyhow. bt just linked me to another game tracking option that is amazingly simple. It works in OpenOffice, which is nice (as I am too poor/cheap to buy Excel). I will play with it some more tonight when I get off of work.
That said, I could GM, but, again, with my work schedule, it'll be really crazy the next 6 weeks. And if I take this CA gig, my life will be crazy through June at least. Oy.
Play is one thing, but GM'ing... I don't want to leave my peeps out in the cold. Is anyone else interested?

There's no way I could consider doing the GM thing until maybe this summer. Right now I'm scheduled to be in and out of town and probably on and off some cruise ships for the next couple of months.

It always goes quiet after a big BSG blowout.
And no, no way in hell can I GM. I was all too aware of hoe much effort it took before I ever jumped into the BSG game and it is why BT has my admiration for doing it so well.
ION, Borderlands is still crack. Red Dead Redemption comes out in May.

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

This is a reason I favour omnis or Laga to run the game. They're both maintaining a high posting frequency already. Note: I'm running games more smoothly now three games in than I did at the start. I also spend a fair amount of time dealing with things that can be left up to the players. If you're interested in running a game, don't feel you need to do as much as I did, or as quickly.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I have some friends coming in from out of town at the end of the month. I'm seriously considering attmepting to run a game starting the first week of April.

I am not interested in GMing, for the record. I would be interested in playing again--but am also cool with waiting until omnis or Laga or another willing GM feels s/he has time.
All my run-the-game energies go toward a RL Pathfinder game I've been running for a little over a year (well, it's only been Pathfinder since October, but I've been greatly enjoying the changes).

Hmm, I wonder if MiracleMan is available? He was an awesome GM for our Serenity game. Alas, he doesn't frequent in here.
