Exactly. And exactly on the huge departure which is the third edition. I like it, I do, but I think it takes an experienced gamer to manage it, and I find that it's harder to maintain the group hallucination.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Hey BSG gamers. I'm back from vacation and straight into landlord issues but I should know this week whether we will have to move. I will let you all know as soon as possible whether I can run the next game.

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.
Sorry to hear about the landlord issues. Hope it gets worked out okay (and not just because I want to play BSG.)

Would you guys like to start playing and maybe have to take an indefinite break in two weeks or hold off until my housing situation solidifies?

My vote would be to wait until you get things taken care of, Laga. (Unless the game would be a welcome distraction.)

Our wings are not tired
I wouldn't be able to join a game until after April 28th anyway.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I wouldn't be able to join until after I'm on the road. The next few weeks will be a bit chaotic.

Sounds like waiting is the consensus.
