Battlestar Galactica 34 - Rule 34

[Lantz]

The age of man ended with the birth of the Cylons. Old faiths were shaken, and toppled. New mysteries revealed. The edifice of life crumbled from the inside. Though the world did not know it for some time. Looking out at the echoes of time the new order could trace a line, new deities sprung whole from the mouths of this new sect of life.

The old order struck back hard, trying to stave off the rot that threatened the whole, but it was not enough. For a time they seemed sure of their victory, but it was merely a lull, a false security. Deep in the bowels of space this new force waited, sure of their ultimate victory to be delivered by mystical forces they only had knowledge of. Then after the allotted and foretold days passed, they strode boldly into the light.

The nuclear light.

And humanity hung by a thread…

5 leaders, two false in time. Rules, for those who need a refresher (which may well include me!)

base game
Pegasus
Daybreak
Exodus
Errata

Ship stats:

Viper 5-7 damaged, 8 destroyed
Mk VII 6-7 damaged, 8 destroyed, may move two spaces instead of one.
Assault Raptor 7-8 destroyed, damage basestar with 7-8

Nuke 1-2 damage basestar twice
3-6 destroy basestar
7 destroy basestar and 3 raiders
8 destroy all ships in space area

We will be using all characters from Daybreak and Exodus (plus the extra characters from the vassal module that mixes a few new ideas, makes a non crap Anders, and has human playable Cylon leaders)

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 NO Mutiny card, unless otherwise specified on a 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

We are going with 6 players, so Cylon leaders are on the table. I will add the character cards to the second post once I make the graphic.

Player order to pick players:
@Knightsaber - Cylon Leader Six
@Perky_Goth - Romo Lampkin - 2 politics, 1 tactics
@CraigM - Diana Seelix - 2 politics, 1 tactics
@soondifferent - Saul Tigh - 2 leadership 1 tactics
@Cuthbert - Sharon “Boomer” Valerii - Tactics, Piloting, and Engineering
@Jorn_Weines - Lee “Apollo” Adama - 1 Tactics, 1 Piloting, 1 Leadership. Mk. 2 Viper in the leftmost launch space

Sorry @rowe33 but you didn’t make it out of the random.org Thunderdome.

[Lantz]

We will be doing Pegasus, Demetrius, Cylon Leaders, and finish up with New Caprica this game.

[Jorn_Weines]

I am excited. And terrified.

[Perky_Goth]

I need to read some rules…

[Cuthbert]

Ooh does six players mean we have a mutineer?

[Lantz]

@Cuthbert

Ooh does six players mean we have a mutineer?

I am open to opinions before we get started, but I am leaning against it. Little concerned that adding yet another new thing to the games will get us too far into the weeds. But if people are into it we could do it.

[Cuthbert]

Looking at the rules, it looks like we should use either a cylon leader or the mutineer, not both, with six. So only one new thing depending on what people pick, I guess.

We’ve played Cylon Leaders a handful of times so a little less new. But I am fine with going mutineer instead if no one wants to be a CL.

[Knightsaber]

Oooh so many options but you know what I’m picking right Lantz?

[Lantz]

@Knightsaber

Oooh so many options but you know what I’m picking right Lantz?

CL Six or Cain

[Knightsaber]

@Lantz

CL Six

You know me so well.

Go pick now @Perky_Goth

[rowe33]

Probably for the best since I’d likely screw up the rules quite a bit. Will await game 35!

[Jorn_Weines]

I’m neutral on CL vs. Mutineer.

[Knightsaber]

Cylon Leaders are multiple kinds of fun, though.

Also in a six player game I’m more likely to be nice.

[rowe33]

Easy to be nice from the brig.

[Perky_Goth]

Ah, can’t be the CL and blame the chaos on the rules, now.
Give me a moment :)

[Knightsaber]

@Lantz is there a New Caprica happening here?

Edit: NM I missed the post.
