I’m afraid to screw the rules, but I forgot we’ve got a game master to ask things without potentially spoiling the game. Alright, I’ve download a PDF and I’ll be reading the more intricate rules like viper combat - not that it’s a complicated game, I know.
I’ll have to test the forums’ notification system so I don’t leave the game hanging (I’m now “Watching” the thread to test). Does it send emails? Does it have a mobile app I should install? I should have the time to play, but who knows over a month.
Ok setting up. Looking at the setup, gonna run this with 5 I think. Will keep all characters in play, the updated boards, and otherwise the same things. I had looked at some of the alternate mechanics to CL’s, such as the secret goals for humans, but ultimately I think that feedback means I think we’ll excise those for now.
I’ve considered adding the Demetrius or Basestar pursuit boards. Demetrius adds a way to increase distance or get other benefits, if you can pass a skill check. It is a potential boost for humans, or a resource sink. But it could be helpful should you find a lull.
The basestar board adds some pressure to make it so the space portion of the game is not relegated to secondary status. That’s been a common issue, Pilots are a depreciated resource. Having them be more useful, and having the Cylon ships be more present, would be good I think. As is I have been removing about 30 non Cylon Fleet crisis cards pre game, this is because the expansions dilute their numbers relative to other crisis cards. Otherwise we see maybe one more attack post the start of the game. I can keep doing that, or mix in a way to add ships to the board through Cylon player action.
Will reset resources to their default levels. Will keep the Reckless as is, along with the mixed treachery deck.
Wait, you’re talking to me right? I support the idea of making pilots more useful to humanity. I feel like they are rarely useful but then can crush it as cylons right now. So if they don’t turn evil then humanity is stuck with some underwhelming characters and if they do turn then humanity has to deal with powerful opponents.
