Sometimes you have to do things you hate, so you can survive to fight another day. Welcome to Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game: Online! This is a heavily customized special Write Your Own Role/Double Secret Cylons game, in which ALL of the characters will be made by you, the readers/players/spectators! Also the loyalties are made up and loyalty cards don't matter. Please be sure to read things carefully. Sign up information is in the third post. The current plan is a 5 or 7 player game, using the Base Game+Pegasus+Exodus Cylon Fleet Board (DEFCON variant, with crisis/skill/quorum/etc cards)+Daybreak. But if you want to just play base or whatever instead, let me know, I'm not picky. Details for DEFCON are in full listed later, but in short: No Basestar Bridge, CFB board for mod use only, Cylon Attack Crisises form their own separate crisis deck, there's a DEFCON number that's rolled against during the crisis phase and determines whether a regular crisis or CAC is drawn. CAG is still in, civs still need escorting, CACs will try to place their listed ships from the CFB where possible before as listed on the crisis. Details for Double Secret Cylons are listed later along with WYOR details. Please be sure to go through them carefully. In essence: the whole loyalty card system is thrown out and replaced with a list of triggers that might turn someone cylon at any time!! Rules can be found here. General BSG discussion thread is here. Playing Guidelines:
Secrecy
Conditional Orders (COs)
DEFCON
Please ask if you have any questions! There are some small changes since Cylon History Month. House Rules
Other than that, we will be using the official FFG rules with clarifications found in the Unofficial FAQ on BoardGameGeek. fits fucked around with this message at 04:37 on Oct 10, 2014 |

CAST:fits posted:If you got any last minute thoughts about balance, nows the time to speak up This game is made up of custom characters made up entirely by you! To sign up post the following: 1) ##Nugget reporting for duty 2) A preference for: Game size (5 or 7 players), and Expansion Preference (Current, Base, or <write in option>). You DO NOT need to sign up to post custom characters, anyone can! Signups will close next week sometime, I'm aiming to start next weekend. Game is open early for WYOR-y shenanigans. Here is a list of characters from the previous WYOR! While I don't mind reposting characters from that game, PLEASE don't be reposting them just for the sake of reposting them. Make usre they have something good to add to it, and make some tweaks to them if you need to. Here is a Character Template FOLLOW THE drat TEMPLATE , its there to make things look consistent code:
Character submission will be open until shortly after players are chosen (Thursdayish). After players are chosen, there will be a day or two before the game starts where anyone can go over the submitted characters and help change things that may be unbalanced. PLEASE speak up at any time before the game starts about any custom character that might be too overpowered! It's up to you guys to fix it before it gets out of hand. I reserve the right to change or veto characters if I need to. DOUBLE SECRETS CYLON DETAILS This game uses a completely different loyalty system than the original games. There is no loyalty deck, as it were. Instead: Every player is dealt two triggers at the start of the game, and an additional two Triggers at the sleeper phase, or when they are executed. Whenever a single player has two total Triggers activated, they are dealt a You Are A Cylon card. There is a total of three cylons to flip, eventually. After three You Are A Cylon cards are dealt, any unactivated triggers are discarded. Trigger are known to me, and me only. No players know anything about them, and will not know when any have flipped unless they turn Cylon. Any loyalty checks in the game provide a snapshot of CURRENT loyalty. They do not reveal triggers or anything, just CYLON/NOT CYLON. Even though this is WYOR, no abilities will be allowed to interact with triggers! I'm going to veto those straight out! There IS a loyalty deck that is built normally, solely composed of You Are Not A Cylon cards and the You Are The Mutineer Card. It has no purpose but to deal out the Mutineer Card, under normal loyalty rules. Loyalty cards for that are dealt how they are normally, but can otherwise be ignored. After the Mutineer is dealt, this deck is ignored entirely. This only applies if were playing with Daybreak, otherwise it is ignored to start with. There will be no Cylon Leaders, because they don't really work in this setup fits fucked around with this message at 06:43 on Oct 23, 2014 |

Some Numbers (2 LEA/2 TAC/1 PIL) Setup: President's Office Titles as Daybreak Lee Only Bad Characters Don't Draw Leadership: Movement: Choose a human player and give him 2 Skill Cards from your hand. Then, draw 3 Skill Cards from his skill set. Burn Exodus: You had an OPG, but it's in Exodus, which got burned. (You still get a miracle token, since those are from Daybreak.) Food is Never an Issue: When you make a choice on a Crisis card, you must choose to lose Food if possible. If multiple choices result in a loss of Food, choose the greatest.

Burnt out on actually playing the game, but Captain Benjamin Lafayette Sisko (2 LEA 2 TAC 1 POL/ENG) Setup: Admiral's Quarters Titles: Admiral Cain Emissary of the Prophets: On your turn, Destiny cards are played face up. The Road to Hell: Once per game, damage Galactica, then choose the outcome of a Skill Check or die roll. Legendary Temper: If a Skill Check is failed, you must randomly discard 1 Skill Card. Sonic the Hedgehog (2 PIL 2 TAC 1 LEA) Setup: Hangar Deck Titles: Starbuck Rings: Sonic cannot be executed, put into the Brig, or have his Viper damaged while he has cards. If any of these things happen while he has cards, he instead discards his entire hand. Super Sonic: Movement: Once per game, discard your entire hand. Until your next Draw Skills Step, you cannot be Brigged, sent to Sickbay, executed, or have your Viper damaged or destroyed. Gotta Go Fast: Sonic normally can only draw 3 cards during his Draw Skills Step. Each time Sonic moves to a new location (even a new Space sector), he may draw 2 additional cards from his Skill Set. Lelouch Vi Brittania (3 LEA 1 POL 1 TAC) Setup: Admiral's Quarters Titles: Tom Zarek Tactical Genius: If any other player plays or discards a TAC, you may draw it. Power of Geass: Movement: Once per game, force any player to move to a location and perform an action. They may not leave their current ship.

I won't claim that I'm the proest game designer, but I've played a lot of BSG and I have a couple of tips for people who want to make BSG characters. 1) Have your character draw Leadership. While Max Peck's joke at my expense is really funny, it's also really true: not drawing green is a huge drawback for any BSG character. This is henceforth dubbed "The Romo Problem." 2) A great static can save a character from a bad drawback and a minor OPG. A broken OPG has trouble salvaging a poo poo static. This is henceforth dubbed "The Cally Problem," though there are people who will pick Cally because they're clinically insane.

Agatha Heterodyne (2 LEA, 3 ENG) Setup: Research Lab Titles as "Chief" Galen Tyrol Spark: You may increase the result of die rolls pertaining to your current location by 1. If you are in the "Hangar Deck", you may increase the result of attack rolls by piloted vipers by 1. Command Voice: Action: Once per game, you may move each Cylon ship on the main board to an adjacent space area and each Centurion either forward or backward one step on the Boarding Party track. Locket: You cannot use an action printed on a "You Are a Cylon" Loyalty Card unless you are in "Sickbay" or the "Brig". Being in "Sickbay" counts as being in the "Brig" for the purpose of such actions.

Phoenix Wright (2 POL, 3 LEA) Setup: Administration Titles as Romo Cross Examination: Once per turn, after cards have been played into a skill check, but before revealing them, if you played any cards into the check, choose another player who played at least 1 card into the check. Randomly look at one of the cards they played into the check. Objection!: Once per game, cancel the effect of a skill card or OPG just played. Always Bluffing: After a skill check resolves, if you didn't play any cards into it, discard a card. Miles Edgeworth (3 POL, 2 LEA) Setup: Admiral's Quarters Titles as Daybreak Lee Opening Statement: Once per turn, before any cards are played into a skill check, you may play one card face up into that check. Objection!: Once per game, cancel the effect of a skill card or OPG just played. Accept Your Fate: You cannot activate the Brig location on your own turn. For the life of me I couldn't find an Edgeworth sprite with the courtroom background, so I went in another direction.

Poochie (2 POL/LEA, 2 TAC, 1 ENG) Setup: Research Lab Titles as Chief Tyrol Extreme new arrival!: Whenever you move between ships, you may use an action to both activate your new location and play an action skill card from hand (in either order). Give this dog another chance: Once per game you may immediately reroll a die that was just rolled, adding +1 to the new result. Poochie died on the way to his home planet: Whenever you voluntarily move between ships, roll a die. On a 1 or a 2, Poochie is executed.

I had originally planned on executing him on a 7 or 8 so he could be strat planned to death His drawback looks a little harsh now that I've written it out. I am considering some combination of the following changes: -Adding TAC to his draw -Changing his drawback to being executed on a 1 only -Changing his static to "on his turn" and coming up with an entirely new drawback Although if it ends up being a base+daybreak to Kobol game nobody would likely choose Poochie anyway because there's no real reason he would go back and forth between Colonial 1 all game.

Phoenix Wright (2 POL, 3 LEA) Setup: Administration Titles as Romo Cross Examination: Once per turn, after cards have been played into a skill check, but before revealing them, if you played any cards into the check, choose another player who played at least 1 card into the check. Randomly look at one of the cards they played into the check. Objection!: Once per game, after a skill card is played for it's effect, discard a card of the same color to cancel that effect. Always Bluffing: After a skill check resolves, if you didn't play any cards into it, discard a card. Miles Edgeworth (3 POL, 2 LEA) Setup: Admiral's Quarters Titles as Daybreak Lee Opening Statement: Once per turn, before any cards are played into a skill check, you may play one card face up into that check. Objection!: Once per game, after a skill card is played for it's effect, discard a card of the same color to cancel that effect.

Edgeworth's Static is pretty crap if you end up as a Cylon and try to play any kind of cover game, imo. e: Plus it's made a bit redundant if someone plays Inv Comm into a check Brony Hunter fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Oct 10, 2014 |
