BSG 39 - The Truth Hurts but Cylons Kill

[rho21]

You all know the situation by now. And if you don’t, go and watch the pilot, it’s pretty good.

Here are some rules:

BSG Rulebook
Pegasus Rulebook
Exodus Rulebook
Daybreak Rulebook
BSG Errata

Optional modules:

• Pegasus
• Cylon Fleet Board

House rules:

• The treachery deck is a mixture of the old and new treachery cards.
• When gaining a second mutiny card while not in the brig (and so being sent to the brig), discard both mutiny cards. You may gain mutiny cards as normal while in the brig (so if you gain a second, discard one of them).
• When the final total of a skill check is negative, I will flip treachery cards from the deck until I find one with a skill check effect. If its value is less than the amount by which the skill check total is negative, it will take effect immediately, even if the same card has already been activated as part of the check.

Refresher

The game will run with the Cylon Basestar board, found on page 12 of Exodus rules. Cylon ships, after a jump, move to that board. Cylon activations advance a tracker there. Revealed Cylon players may go there to take two of the possible actions listed, no discard to move there or back (unlike C1 or Pegasus for humans).

If no Cylon ships are on the main board, follow rules on P13 to place them on the pursuit board. I recommend everyone take a brief look, for brevity. They’re not too hard. We also gain the CAG title, which deals with a few small issues, and the are responsible for placing civilian ships. Succession is same rules as Admiral.

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 Pegasus, Daybreak, and Exodus plus New and Exciting Characters.

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 both Mutiny cards. You may gain Mutiny cards normally while in the brig. Cylon players may not have Mutiny cards. Revealed Cylons must discard their Mutiny cards, and may never draw Mutiny cards.
