It's an OPG and Jeb's static is fairly tame. I'd say yes?

One more:


Edison Carter (Support) (2 LEA, 3 POL/TAC) Setup: Press Room - Titles as Leoben
Intrepid Reporter: When you start your turn in the same location as another player, draw one extra Skill Card from their skill set.
Max Headroom: [OPG] If you would be Airlocked, Executed, or otherwise killed, instead go to Sickbay and activate one undamaged location
Can't Help But Get Involved: If you have any skill cards in your hand when there is a Skill Check, you must contribute at least one card.

Jimmy McNulty

Support (1 POL, 1 LEA, 3 TAC) Start location: Research Lab Titles as Starbuck
Smartest man in the room: You may draw one additional card for every person in your location at the start of your turn.
Real Po-lice: Once per game, after all cards have been added to a skill check, reveal all cards and add up to two more cards to the check.
Self-Destructive: Must discard a card whenever somebody makes an OR decision.

Added titles.

You think you have the wherewithal to figure out my puzzle vagina?

Vanilla Ice (1 LEA/POL, 2 TAC, 2 PIL), Pilot, Setup: Brig
Titles as Boomer
Ice, Ice, Baby: Whenever you would discard skill cards, you discard 1 less card (minimum 1).
You Gots to Chill: Once per game, whenever one or more players would discard cards, you can make each player discard either two less (minimum 1), or one more.
Has-Been: You start the game in the Brig.

Buffed OPG, has titles now.

Is there a quick primer on what Daybreak brings to the table (and CLs for that matter)? I'm only familiar with the base game.

Cylon Leaders start as revealed Cylons, but they have character sheets. When the human players receive Loyalty cards, the CL receives Motives. They get a total of four (two and two); each Motive has an Allegiance and a criterion. At the end of the game, the Cylon Leader wins if 1) they have fulfilled two Motives that match the winning team and 2) they have no more than one unfufilled Motive.

For example: Savor their Demise (Cylon Allegiance) Reveal this card if the game is over and 7 or more distance has been traveled.

Daybreak adds Treachery, which is always negative and has abilities that trigger in checks and punch the humans in the dick; Mutiny cards, which have powerful abilities with drawbacks and drawing multiples puts you in the Brig; and more Skill Cards and Crises.

Daybreak also adds assault raptors which are essentially vipers that:
1)May stay out in space when the fleet jumps
2)Cannot be damaged and are destroyed on 7s & 8s

Motherfucking Mannis

They'll bend the knee or I'll destroy them
It also adds Demetrious, which is another ship with 4 locations that you can go to. With that ship comes the Mission deck, which I guess is like a Crisis deck you can draw on but the cards tend to have very positive effects if you pass them. (One gives 2 Distance for example)

Technically Pegasus adds tre, Daybreak just makes it brutal

Something about missions too, but I've never actually done one

No one cares about The Search for Home.

And yeah, Pegasus originated Treachery, but if they're only familiar with Core, there's no reason to muddy the water, right?

Woo! Very excited. This is my first BSG game on a forum. I'll have to get used to how things are run re: action cards and such.

There are so many rules in the expansion that I need to remember, ack.

Oh, if tweaks are still okay, I'd like to change Dipper's draw to 2 POL, 2 TAC 1 LEA/ENG. The difference is probably negligible, due to his static.

Yeah, just pick a character as they currently are, then we can still revise them (or pick another one) if something seems over/underpowered or ambiguous.

I'll do a prelim pick once I get to work. Are we doing a top-3 or just a single character? I don't know how it's done in forum games.

As first player you just pick whichever character you want. Players might do a top 3 list after you just in the interest of moving the game forward.

I'm in the same situation to a lower degree. Mostly my own creations though.

As much as I like Commander Lee Adama and Bill Cipher, I think that I'd enjoy the game best as Dipper Pines.

I'm not sure how good Bill's static is with the draw I gave him.

Dipper was on my shortlist, Fat Lee was on my short-er list together with Dale Cooper, but I'm going to choose Doctor Facilier. I've never played a Cylon Leader before and I like the abilities :)

I've seen people play President Tory with no house rules. I've seen things, man.

Oh and ##draw 1 TRE, 1 ENG.

Note that in a 7-player Daybreak game with a Cylon Leader, the Mutineer card will be in the Loyalty Deck.

I saw Tory played without house rules by someone who didn't know she could draw non-yellow cards. When I mentioned that, he realized why I thought she was broken.
