Welcome to Battlestar Galactica: The Board Game, a game of politics, betrayal, and survival! Now with Pegasus Expansion

============
First things first:
============
READ THE RULEBOOK: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/970537/BSG%20Stuff/bsg-rulebook-web.pdf

Next, scroll down to the bottom of this post and read the Pegasus expansion rulebook. Also, I will include a quick reference of all characters and locations and skills in the 2nd post.

Some things have been tweaked to help facilitate online play: At the bottom of every GM post, there will be a helpful Action Queue that announces what we are waiting for to continue the game. This will usually be the current player's move/action, but could also include such things as a decision from the President/Admiral.

This is the first BSG Game we're playing. Expect things to go a little slower than normal.

If you are at the top of the Action Queue, you have 24 hours to post/PM to complete it. Once the 24 hours pass, the top of the action queue will be auto-resolved, usually as a "do nothing" action.

Skill checks will have 24 hour time limit. After 24 hours, the check will be resolved.

If you do not play cards for the skill check, I'll let the other players berate you. If I have to auto-resolve a choice for you, 1st and 2nd offenses get a warning, 3rd time you get replaced. It might seem a bit harsh, but this is needed to keep the game moving.

There will be leniency with the 24 hour rule over weekends

All rules about time are subject to change based on my schedule.

All game actions should be bolded in Mafia style (eg: ##move to Communications or ##use "Executive Order" on Helo).

If it's not obvious already, you'll be given the names of what cards you draw in your deck and other secret information by PM. Please remember that until I post in game (usually in bold) that you've drawn the cards, you don't have them yet. So, lets say that it's your turn, and you draw 1 LEA/2 PIL/1 TAC, and then you want to play the Maximum Firepower card that you just drew. That draw is not official until I post in the game thread SWAT Draws 1 LEA/2 PIL/1 TAC. At that point in time, you have officially drawn the cards, and can now take actions with them. 90% of the time this will all happen within a few minutes of each other, but in case it doesn't be aware.

All face-down cards, including Quorum Cards and Skill Cards will be delivered to the players via PM/AIM. If your draw is straightforward (eg: Adama) your cards will be auto-drawn for you at the beginning of your turn. Players with multi-skills (eg: Apollo) or abilities allowing them to draw cards (eg: Baltar) need to post in the thread what type of card they are drawing (eg: ##draw 1 Politics 1 Engineering). Discards are to be posted openly in the thread.

Skill Checks are handled slightly differently than in the regular rules. Players must announce the number of cards they are playing in the thread, then PM me the specific cards they are playing. This can be done in any order. Once everyone has PMed me, the check will be resolved.

During Skill Checks, players may play cards in any order they choose. You do not have to start with the current player.

You may "pre-load" actions ahead of time; (eg: ##If my Viper is attacked, I'll use "Evasive Maneuvers".) This should be done via PM. Think about this, especially as most of the expansion skill cards are very timing-specific!

Players do not choose the order in which Cylon ships are activated, as in the normal rules. Instead, ships are activated starting in Sector Alpha and proceeding clockwise around Galactica.

This next part is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

[/b]In addition to the Secrecy Rules on p. 20 of the rulebook, these rules are specifically for online play: [/b]
Players may not edit their posts.

Players may not quote anything from PMs or IMs. This includes cards, messages from the mod, or messages from other players.

DON'T EDIT YOUR POSTS
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/970537/BSG%20Stuff/BSG%20stuff/tight.jpg

The first violation from a player will result in a warning; the second will result in a MODKILL. So try not to break the rules!

Anyone who is interested in playing can sign up here. Please note that I have already posted an interest check - if we have more than 7 players sign up, I will pick randomly (random.org) who gets to play, however the players who signed up in the interest check will have priority based on the order in which they posted in that thread.

If you sign up, please ensure that you can check the thread at least once per day. Most actions in the game only require a single line of text to post, so there's not much of a time commitment.
============
Gameplay Hints
============

Here are some helpful game hints that I've noted from watching the SA games.


XO is a very powerful card, you should be constantly considering "what are my options if X or Y player gets XO'd to do this sort of thing. Simply put, without XOing people regularly, the humans will not win; their card draws will not be enough, too much damage will be taken, they won't be able to clear the board of raiders, etc.
This is a game of attrition. You need to manage your hand size as well as keeping track of the DRADIS and be willing to sacrifice certain resources if others are more critical. Is it really worth it to blow your entire hand to save yourself from -1 food, if the result is that you can't get a critical player out of the brig, or can't airlock a cylon when you need to? Sometimes you need to take the hit on resources. This applies to crisis cards as well; you won't want to pass every crisis. If you try to, you'll kill your hand. That being said, don't just start failing them left and right. They're meant to be passed when you can, and you should only intentionally tank them when you either have a good reason to, or failing the crisis causes you to lose LESS than passing it in the long run (or, if you're a cylon).
Get a good mix of characters with a good mix of card types. You don't want to be in a situation where your only POL drawer turns out to be a cylon, or gets brigged.
Pilot characters can be extremely effective for clearing the DRADIS of enemies, don't be afraid to get out there and use them.
Be VERY VERY VERY cognizant of who is the current President/Admiral and who is down the line of succession for that position. Admirals are almost always the number 1 target for cylon checking (especially using the Cylon Detector, but also by organized card plays) because of how dangerous it can be to have a Cylon as admiral (he can basically screw the humans over in jumps). The President is less critical in that regard, especially since the title is easier to change around, but keep in mind the Quorum deck when considering the President's loyalties.
It is CRITICAL that you always be cognizant of the following things: How much jump distance you are away from New Caprica (or Kobol if we're playing without New Caprica, but we're playing with it so don't worry). How far we are away from the Sleeper phase. What the fleet's current jump prep is at this moment. What position, if any, Centurions are on with the boarding track. Who is the next player. And what will be the outcome AFTER this crisis in terms of activations (raiders, nukes, jump prep, etc.)
On SA, cylons have won in the following ways: Twice by population loss, Once by fuel loss, Once by physically destroying Galactica. There was very nearly a victory by Centurion boarding, but it didn't happen. Edit: Although in the "Pegasus: Now with improved Smuglon Agenda" game (I think this was the 10th one) this is very close to happening, though currently there are any number of ways the humans can lose that one in the next 24 hours or so.
Cylons: A well timed combination of reveals and super crisis cards can end the game for the humans. For instance, in Smuglon Agenda, the humans went in less than 2 days from a pretty good position to having 2 basestars, 2 heavy raiders, 13 raiders, 11 civilian ships, and five vipers on DRADIS with Galactica at 2/6 damage, 1/5 jump prep, damaged FTL control, and 4 centurions on the track, including one who is 1 activation away from ending the game. And nobody is playing Helena Cain.

Dradis images will look like this:

http://i45.tinypic.com/2jacay0.jpg

I will be updating them as minimaly as possible because it involves fucking around in photoshop. You pretty much won't see them unless there are quite a few ships on scope.

[SWATJester_os]

Ok we're gonna do this without Cylon Leaders then, with 6 players, unless a 7th magically appears.

Gameplay Order will be:

1. General Bordinko
2. CapnAsshat
3. DasHuhn
4. Cloneboy
5. Colon
6. Cpt.mars

You'll pick your characters in that order, but there's a catch. You must pick from whatever category (pilot, political, or military) that is the most plentiful (if there is a tie between them you get your choice). You can also pick a support character (Dualla or Chief Tyrol) at any time, regardless.


Functionally how this will work here is after the first player picks their character, I'll inform the next player (in this thread) of what categories are available to them.

[SWATJester_os]

Also before you do that, let me post the admiral/president orders of succession. The way it works is that the title goes to the top ranked person on that list (skipping any that aren't being played)

2. WilliamAdama
3. SaulTigh
4. Karl“Helo”Agathon
5. Lee“Apollo”Adama

8. Louanne“Kat”Katraine
9. Sharon“Boomer”Valerii
10. “Chief” Galen Tyrol
11. Tom Zarek
12. Ellen Tigh
13. Gaius Baltar
14. Laura Roslin

President

12. Saul Tigh
13. Kara “Starbuck” Thrace
14. Louanne “Kat” Katraine


So for instance if the players are Laura Roslin, Lee Adama, Col Tigh, and Starbuck, the president will be Laura Roslin (she's highest rank that is being played on the presidents list) and the admiral will be Col Tigh (he's the highest rank being played on the admirals list).

Keep that in mind when choosing characters. Getting president/admiral can be a very big game changer.

[DasHuhn]

Can we add a name to these images? I liked BSG from what i saw of it, but i never got particularly huge into the universe, and i don't remember who people are based on pix :(

It's Lee "I'm gonna frak starbuck like an animal" Adama

[DasHuhn]

Yah, I got that from his image too Colon, that doesn't mean I want to keep looking up who each image is on the list whenever an image is posted

I'm going to delete some of the interim posts (like your signup posts) in order to compress the relevant information from the beginning of the thread all into one place.

Rather than that, maybe you should split the thread into a discussion thread and an orders thread?

Nah, discussion belongs in the orders thread in one place; it's more so I have hte reference stuff all in a line on the first page.

Though what I might do is once the game starts, split off into a new game thread and simply leave all the reference material in this one.

Though what I might do is once the game starts, split off into a new game thread and simply leave all the reference material in this one.

Does anyone care?
I'd prefer to have all the reference info in the same thread as the game because unless it's stickied, the reference thread will drop down the list as more C3I threads and such pop up; we have a lot of stickies as it is.

Also it would be cool edit in a player list with character choices into the post that has all the characters and their traits listed, so it's easy for other players to quickly check who can do what.

Do we have to wait for the people before us to go before we submit our draw action, or can we just do that whenever and then you draw everyone's cards based on the correct order?

[SWATJester_os]

A list of quorum cards is coming soon as I have one.

-edit- Lies. As quorum cards are drawn, I'll just tell the drawer what they are; as they are played, I will announce them. Same with Crises and such.

[SWATJester_os]

Do we have to wait for the people before us to go before we submit our draw action, or can we just do that whenever and then you draw everyone's cards based on the correct order?

The mass draw is only for the first turn, and as far as that is concerned, yes you can do it in any order.

Once we begin Dinko's turn the only person who will draw is the player whose turn it is.

[SWATJester_os]

This is gonna be the dradis for turn 1 (I can't give you a picture yet cause I need a full version of photoshop and it's going to take 2 more hours to pull it off my time capsule).

Alpha: 3 raiders, 1 basestar
Bravo: clear

Foxtrot: 1 viper

Remember it goes clockwise starting with Alpha to the left. If you need a visual, check the rulebook again.

How the hell did you get the raiders and vipers etc. to show up? I couldn't get it to work in Photoshop Elements, I looked through help and it looked like I needed the full CS version to make it happen.

[SWATJester_os]

Okay, I got my loyalty card PM. Do I just say ##draw ?

Yes you can. Only Dinko and Colon need to outline which exact sets of cards they're picking since their skillset includes a multi-card, your draw will be the same every turn.


-e- For this first turn though, I need you to draw 3 cards from the classes you have available. Since your skill set is ENG, LEA, POL, you could do all 3 of them ENG, you could do 1 of each, or any combination thereof, but it needs to be 3 in total

[SWATJester_os]

Someone also please rep me for the OP in this thread, so I have an instant click to it? Thanks.

##draw TAC 2, PIL 2, ENG 1

You only draw 3 cards right now, this will be your starting deck at the beginning of the game. Once your turn comes up, you'll draw your first 5. Only dinko draws 5 right now because he's the first player.

I hacked together a blank version of the dradis map and cleaned up unit icons in separate files, then just pasted the unit counters onto the map.

I can post the blanks if you want, or just keep doing them myself. The time consuming part is already done now.

[SWATJester_os]

##Draw

That only works after the initial draw.



For the initial draw you need to pick your 3 cards. Look at what Mars or Colon did; do that with your own skillset.


Every draw AFTER this first one, you can simply just type ##draw and you'll get your normal 5.

[SWATJester_os]

Also once I've got everyone's draws in, I'll send PM's out with your hands.

"Sir! Cylon basestar directly ahead and she's launching raiders!"
Apollo swings into action, immediately ordering Pegasus's weapons to fire on the basestar. With a sickening whine, the lights go out, and when they come back on a damage report comes in over the radio. "CIC, Engineering, we just had a power surge, the automatic FTL drives are damaged!"

Apollo roles 1d8 = 1! Pegasus is damaged: damaged location = Engine Room!

There you go. Perhaps we should put that somewhere for easy access?

[Captain Colon]

Question: just curious about the formatting you're using for crisis cards...is that post-crisis result only if he chooses to keep the title, or does it apply to either resolution? I'm assuming the former.

[SWATJester_os]

The latter. Anything that says something like "POST CRISIS: (X activates)" will happen no matter the outcome of the crisis.

[SWATJester_os]

There you go. Perhaps we should put that somewhere for easy access?

It's already in the thread, post #5. :gun:

[cpt.mars]

How can there be any suspicion about my election into this presidency? The people have spoken, and have voiced their unrest and displeasure towards a government that ignores its citizens and seeks only to further their own agenda. For far too long, the people of this fleet have been marginalized by this military and this government. When ships in the fleet have needed repairs or supplies, neither my predecessor nor the Admiral offered immediate help.

I've been to some of these ships, Admiral. The conditions many of our people are living in is nothing short of cruel and barbaric. People sleeping on floors without blankets or pillows, men and women who have no control or say in what their means to help this fleet should be, even parents going hungry at night because the rations given to their children simply weren't enough. And now, that these people finally have the man in office who is not going to turn a deaf ear to their voices, you seek to take that away from them.

Tell me Admiral, what is it about the citizens of this fleet that scares you so?

[DasHuhn]

It's already in the thread, post #5. :gun:

You didn't have who was playing which role, and thus the ineligible people to give control to. I just made it more relevant.

[CapnAsshat]

How should I work the post for the action? Like ##Give succession to (name here)?

[Captain Colon]

write out what you're going to do then make it bold? it doesn't matter as long as it's a) clear what your action is and b) clear that it IS an action and not fluff or out-of-character text

[SWATJester_os]

Yeah, you'd do either ##Choose Give Title (since there's only one valid option it doesn't really matter if you include the name)

or


##choose discard 1 random/draw 1 TRE.


Something to that effect. There's no precise wording that's needed.

[CapnAsshat]

##Choose Ellen Tigh give title President

Asshat: Receive your card draw, confirm in thread.
Me: Draw Crisis

...

[SWATJester_os]

OK PM with your hand is out.

DRAW CRISIS!

Alarms blare throughout Galactica as armed Marines rush to attend their posts. You stop to flag one down for a SITREP. "Sir, can't talk. We have a security breach in Command!" Off in the distance, you hear the sound of gunfire....

CRISIS: Security Breach

Skill Check LEA/TAC = 6

PASS = No Effect
FAIL = -1 morale and all characters in the Command location are sent to sickbay

POST CRISIS: Launch Raiders, No Jump Prep.




-------------------

Since you haven't had a skill crisis yet let me explain how it works. Asshat is the drawer, so he goes first. This skill check is LEA/TAC, so any cards that are in LEA/TAC will have their strengths count as positive, any other category will count as negative. You need combined strengths of 6 or greater to pass this, or you get the fail result. There may be cards that can change what is counted as positive or not.

You will discuss among yourselves whether you want to pass this or not. You can say how much you think you can help in vague terms like "A little" "a lot" "I can carry the whole thing" but you cannot say which cards you are going to play, nor can you say "I can do half" or anything that would imply strengths.

After you play cards, I will play cards from the destiny deck, compare strengths and resolve the crisis.

Remember, Cylons have to balance sabotaging this with negative cards or conserving cards to sabotage later with, as well as not getting caught. Humans have to balance winning the check with keeping their hands strong: you're going to lose resources, so make it manageable. It's not a big deal to lose 1 pop when you have full pop. It's a big deal to waste lots of cards trying to save it. On the other hand, losing 1 food when you only have 3 is a much more desperate situation. Keep in mind that the destiny deck can either help or hurt you but more often than not it hurts you, so you will need a buffer for both the destiny deck cards AND any cylon sabotage.

On skill checks, I ask that the player whose current turn it is go first, and THEN everyone can play cards in whatever order they feel like. This allows more discussion beforehand, and allows for coordination with playing skill cards to modify the check. So, discuss all you want, but nobody will put cards in until Asshat does so first -- after that you can have at it.

[CapnAsshat]

I can carry almost all of it by myself, I'd only need a little bit of help. Actually, scratch that, I can carry it by myself. Shall I?

[SWATJester_os]

Keep in mind that in a 6 player game there will be 5 more crises coming up before you draw cards again.

[Captain Colon]

you gotta do it all yourself and show us you're real, since it's obviously your fault we have a stupid crisis that gets us raiders no matter what

[CapnAsshat]

I'm not letting this one turn out like c3I

[ScAvenger001]

Pardon my kibitzing, but there aren't any characters in Command, and you've got Morale to spare, so failing this crisis doesn't really cost you anything you can't afford to lose. Why not just let this one go?

[SWATJester_os]

In other news....it really shouldn't be taking this long to do a skill check. At this point, I really don't give a shit what order you do things in, just as long as we keep this moving.

[Cloneboy]

I say we let this one slide.

[DasHuhn]

I agree, let it slide.

[General Bordinko]

let it ride.

[CapnAsshat]

Admiral, DRADIS is picking up strange signals from that asteroid. Should we investigate?
CRISIS: Send Survey Team

Current player (Das) Chooses:

OR

Option B: Roll a die. If 5 or lower, -1 Fuel.

(remember, the choice on which option we do belongs to Das).

[DasHuhn]

So what do you want guys? Do you want to risk losing a raptor, or do you want to risk losing 1 thing of fuel? I'm leaning towards Option B myself, as (if i'm reading this correctly) is less of a threat overall.
