Given the total to this point, I will play a G2.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Dude, I posted RIGHT after you did. Like, .74 seconds after you posted.
The Admiral smacks the petty officer around for his insolence.

Well, the Admiral pushes us into the PASS zone. So? Chief? You can spike? Or waste cards? Or pass?

The Admiral smacks the petty officer around for his insolence.Huh. Smaking around the GM. Just because you are admiral, don't think we can't frak with you. Brave? Stupid? Or just drunk?

A friend got the Pegasus expansion and I took a look at it today. Holy crap, Cain & Dee's turn powers are awesome and Kat's negative ability is horrendous.
I'll whitefont their abilities for those that are interested - On a result of 10 or better in the Admiral's quarters, Cain can choose to execute someone rather than Brig them. If Dee is in Communications, she can look at -and move- all the civilian ships rather than just 2 of them. Kat has to keep moving. If she ends her turn in the same location as she started, she's sent to Sickbay.That last one seems crazy harsh.

I'm the frakkin' Admiral godsdammit! I can smack around anyone I want!
((No hard feelings, omnis. The scruffy grumpyness of my character just needs to vent.))
Pete, I've only peeked at Pegasus myself but it looks pretty interesting. Me, I love the new treachery skill (and that Ellen Tigh is the only (possible) human to get it, alongside the super Cylons).

Ha! No worries DQ. I know. But as GM I gotta put the fear back into ya. Oh wait, drunks don't feel fear.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
A friend got the Pegasus expansion and I took a look at it today. Holy crap, Cain & Dee's turn powers are awesome and Kat's negative ability is horrendous.
Dee's ability is pretty awesome, and can be devastating in the hands of a Cylon. Conversely, her OPG is on the weak side. Cain's ability is good in the right context. However, from what I've seen she's more likely to be executed herself than to get to use it.
Kat doesn't get much love in the Boardgamegeek BSG games, compared to the other new characters. Her weakness can be pretty harsh, and her benefits don't really compensate. (Unlike Roslin and Boomer, who also have bad weaknesses, but whose strengths are similarly powerful.)
I've now played three of the four new characters, and I think Dee's my favourite (despite losing horribly after a Jammed Assault neutralised her ability, and three more attack cards got piled on top of it).
