Battlestar Galactica 18: Off to college, and then to War

Games
1

Tearful farewells, time to leave behind friends and family and seek out new adventures. A last look at your home from years past as it slowly retreats into the distance. But unlike a John Hughes teen comedy there is no joyous reunion in the future, no montage of 80’s music, in fact the only music you hear is the staccato thrum of the guns.

Luckily you signed up for this war, so at least you get the pleasure of dying on some freezing spit of rock in the middle of nowhere, instead of home, in your warm bed. So you got that going for you.

This is a 6 leader mission. Rules will follow the basic rules from the base game with the additional changes for Pegasus.

We will be using all characters from Daybreak and Exodus.

We will be playing with Mutiny cards and Miracle tokens.

Miracle tokens refer only to Once Per Game abilities. You may only have a max of one. If, for some reason, a card would grant you a token and you already have one, you may not gain a second. However, if you have used your OPG, getting a Miracle token will allow you to use your OPG ability.

Some actions will force a player to take a Mutiny card. You may only have one in your hand. If you are forced to take a second Mutiny card, immediately go to the Brig and discard down to one Mutiny card. Cylon players may not have Mutiny cards. Revealed Cylons must discard their Mutiny cards, and may never draw Mutiny cards.

Reckless skill checks have been adjusted. No longer does reckless trigger Treachery card abilities, instead follow the following procedure:

*After cards are added, flip the top card of the Treachery deck face up.
*If card value is >0, do nothing and process skill check like normal
*If card value is 0, flip up next Treachery card and resolve both text abilities. May repeat, and does not prevent abilities in skill check from triggering.
*Checks that fail with total of <0 trigger Reckless

Players are as follows, selected by the true random number generator:

Huh, I have to question the value of my ticket now.

7

Take my slot, I can take a break.

8

Haha I, uh, goofed. Your slot is there, I accidentally typed Jostly. Sorry casey!

9

@CraigM I think Admiral Cain is in order.

Forgot to tag @jeffreyb

10

Clearly @lantz has seen the recent video from United.

Thanks @CraigM.

11

I read somewhere that the Cylon Leader must be Simon this round.

12

Consider the glory.

Four motives club WITH SIMON

13

I triple-dog dare you.

14

Pilot Lee Adama
@scottagibson

15

@craigm: Laura Roslin.

@CaseyRobinson

16

I can play support if you don’t want to Casey, btw.

17

Yeah, me too.

Although Lantz hasn’t played Cally since forever. All of this has happened before, and so on.

18

Cultar seems kind of inviting, but I am keeping my options open.

19

If Cally joins Baltar’s Cult of the Gun there can be executions for everyone!

20

I don’t think support is a required class if I remember
