fixed minor errors that bt mentions in a few posts.
hopefully got that right. Boy. It might be easier to track it with the board open. Not sure. Gotta find it. On to Laga's turn here. I'll e-mail you the card draw here.
BSG
Two small corrections: there should be an RSV in Sector 5 along with Apollo. Also, we're just at 1 (Red) on the jump track.
BSG
Yes. Hmm. Curious. the nifty spreadsheet isn't showing Apollo in the Board Status tab.
Ah, and I just found how to advance the Jump Track in the spreadsheet.
I fixed the summery post, so as folks wake up, they should get an accurate idea of the board. Laga has her card draw. She's packing today. And I have to drive out to Riverside, and hopefully get my California Drivers License today, so not sure when I'll be posting.
With that, I should probably go to bed.
Oh, haha, there's a board. Here I was assuming it was all being done here and that's why I was so confused. That makes MUCH more sense.
Sounds like fun!!

Hee. There is a board with the game, which is in the public domain and can be seen here: [link] We don't have the game physically set up anywhere though. (Well, players might do that at home to keep track of things if they want.) All the action takes place in this thread, and the moderator (omnis_audis) keeps track of the whole state of play in a spreadsheet created for the purpose.
This game seems incredibly complicated! But as I'm not playing I suppose it doesn't matter that I can't figure out what the heck you all are doing or how you are playing. Haha.
It didn't really fully makes sense to me until I played the actual physical game with ND and omnis.

Naturally, I have it all set up with my hand out and everything. Meara should get a kick out of that when she's here on Friday.

Yes, but I am strongly thinking of setting it up as a double check type of thing. First I need a surface to put it on (dining room table is still not set up), then I have to get to the game chest and dig the game out. I was hoping to do that before the game started, but with my level of procrastination, that would have been unfair to the players, who were chomping at the bit to get started. That was the fastest character pickings I've ever seen!
I'm doing it without a board, that is certain since I don't get home for another two weeks.
Speaking of using the board I want to play another live version of the game once I'm back in Pasadena.
