Why don't you send me that sheet if you can, then? The macros might cause problems but the tabs and buttons shouldn't. I'll take a look at least.
Thanks. My friends really like the game and making it more accessible will be a good thing. If nothing else, maybe we can use it in a limited use kind of way, like enabling them to use a virtual quorum deck so they can play president.
One of my two friends is working on finding more blind-friendly games. She's planning on brailling the cards on some games they have and then donating them to the games library at GenCon. BSG is too complicated to do that, but some games all you need is some simple accessible text.

I say we ditch the food.

I have Mr. President on the horn. He says he is busy, er, um, with an intern. But he dictated the following to me:
After careful consideration and listening to my cabinets recommendations, although we think the water shortage is due to a certain Admiral trying to sober up, we feel the food resource is more expendable than the card resource. So my executive order is to take the hit in our FOOD supply.

OK, Now that we are all dehydrated, let's get the adrenaline flowing. It's time to activate those cute little double-Y ships. Remember, with a Basestar firing on Galactica, a roll of 4 - 8 is damage. We get two shots, one from each Basestar.
Basestar #1:
6! Hit!
Damage:
Barney Jones hit the fuel tank. Fuel resource -1!
Basestar #2:
1! Miss!!
Too bad no critical misses here. Dude! A one? That's pathetic. Can we have a do-over on that one? Please? Eh, didn't think so. Couldn't hurt to try.
That ends round 1.4. End of round summery to follow, along with card draw e-mail to the Chief.
BSG
Damage: Barney Jones hit the fuel tank. Fuel resource -1!
That's not an actual location on Galactica, so no repair needed, correct?

That is correct. There was a reduction in resource. I was being cute. No repair needed, but jumping will be interesting. Most jumps are about 1 fuel per distance. Y'all have gone distance 0, and have fuel 7, and you need to travel 8. Should be fun. Hope the Admiral makes good choices when it comes to jumping.
BSG
I will move to Communications and play a G1 XO on Boomer.
We're still dangerously low on cards, and with my weakness I'm better off playing cards than hoarding them. As BT said we're at least 2, possibly 3 raider activations away from losing civies and if the raiders activate, hopefully someone can XO me so I can pull all the vulnerable civies into Sector 5 with Apollo before they activate again.
BSG
Brave! Ever wonder if she's the reason Salty is the Admiral? Let's see what she does with this XO.
Your move has been notated, and the G1 removed from your hand.
Boomer, ball is in your court. Please post a MOVE and ACTION, or TWO ACTIONS in the PRESS ROOM.
