That's six players. FINALLY. I'm normally a bit better about waiting a bit to see if others want a chance, but what the hell. I'll run another game after this one, probably - if you missed it, keep an eye on the BSG discussion thread!

I WILL move you around to fit character selection rules if necessary. Action Queue: ==>Everyone: Pick A Character

The backstory to TQ's av, btw, is that I bought it for him because he was in one of my Mafia games and I wanted all the players to have an avatar. So of course he got Fat Lee.

Max Peck posted:Clearly you should choose Cain, SN; only half her drawback applies this game. If someone were to pick Cain I'd probably change her drawback to a different location for fairness. I'll have to think about what a decent fit would be - probably Communications, given her flavor. On the Engine Room topic, I mulled over a few ideas for how to do that based on the feedback/discussion at the end of the last BSG game. Here's what I thought over, for reference (and why I didn't pick it): - Make Engine Room more costly (3 cards instead of 2, or cards spent must add up to 8): Still doesn't solve the issue of Engine Room somewhat trivializing endgame and taking a bit of the bite off CACs. - Merge Pegasus into Galactica (replace Weapons Control with Pegasus CIC, add Main Batteries and Airlock as Galactica locations): Brings challenges with the 'destroy Galactica' endgame option for Cylons, and removes the need for non-President humans to spend cards moving between ships. - Leave Engine Room as an empty location or put an anti-human restriction on its use: Meh. I went with the 'remove engine room altogether' option because I think reducing Pegasus to 3 locations is a good anti-human nerf, given how insanely useful it is. It also requires a bit more tactical thinking about how much you want Pegasus to soak hits for Galactica, since it can only take 3 shots instead of 4.

Toshimo posted:Cain's OPG should probably get 1 pro-cylon option beyond "Pick up ABM" at some point. You could pretty easily patch that by changing it to "You MAY choose..." so she can blow up a Civ without having to do something tremendously useful if it's a 2-resource Civ.
