Helo can feel the death glares all the way to Caprica.
Oh, they can glare at all the extra rations they have now, how about that.
BSG
Hey, GM, how do you feel about peerers over the shoulder? That is to say, would it be possible for me to get in on the crisis email list? I mean, I`m clearly going to be making comments from the peanut gallery anyway, so I may as well be making informed comments.
Pfft. Like that ever stopped me. I'll see what I can do.
Is there a reason the Crisis isn't posted here? Everyone in the game sees the card, so it's not a secret like our card draws.
The reason is because the card text is the intellectual property of Fantasy Flight Games. Part of their requirements to allow forum play of Battlestar Galactica was that game text not be posted publicly.
The crisis stuff doesn`t get posted because of copyright issues I believe, PC.
BSG
Hey, weird question: are any of our players colour blind?
BSG
Ha ha ha. I was just telling my brother that it's good that we're thinking of the cards in colors as opposed to skill sets because you can color-code the e-mails. But, yeah, colorblindness could be an issue.
BSG
Saul is muttering in his sleep about fracking space toasters, and since I can't tell if he means Cylons in space...or FRACKING Cylons...well, I have to do something about this.
Move
to Weapons Control and
fire
at the raiders in sector 2. I smoke, so I can probably fake Saul's delectable gravelly voice and issue orders to Starbuck...except there's only room in this fleet for one blonde ladykiller, and age before...something.
BSG
Ellen joins Dee in Weapons Control. Does anyone want to play an SP on the die roll?
