omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Quoting our illustrious GM:
Dang it. Totally missed that. I'm used to it being bold and all. :: whistles innocently ::

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

He just gets his normal draw at the start of his turn, no choice to be made.

Oh, ok. Thanks.

I expect to be Question-O-Gal at this table being all newbie and whatnot.

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

Questions are good. The flow of the game is fairly straightforward once you get used to it, but there's a pretty endless supply of special cases to complicate matters.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I've played in every game so far and I still feel like I only 75% understand it. This is probably because I don't own the home version.

Starbuck only drew Red and Blue for her starting cards, so she can't have an SP yet anyway. It's probably safe to pass her.

Okay then. Basestar powers activate! Form of… a die roll.

Die roll: 5. Damaged! Let’s see where the old girl got hit, shall we? Ooh, FTL Control.

Good thing you’re not close to jumping.

So, only the first turn and you’ve already lost 1 morale and (for the moment) your FTL Control. Go big or go home? At least the jump prep track advances by 1. That concludes Baltar’s turn. Seems like it must have taken a lot out of him to end up in Sickbay.

Helo, I'm sending you your card draw. Since the radiation on Caprica has you in a temporary holding pattern, you can’t move or take action, so we’ll move right on to another crisis once I’ve done that. Yippee!

Ah well, could have been worse. If it'd got the Hangar Deck we'd have two crew members in Sickbay.
