I will be choosing my staple Ellen Tigh then. ;)

I've done some fairly neat tricks with them. There's a lot of functionality in there.
The really great thing about them is that you can access them pretty much anywhere you have internet. :)

edit: Also, I'd love to play it here. Not fussed about it though, or about the character.
 
There is one thing that still buggs me: Who played that darn third piloting card? :p

Also, Peggy can fit seven players, I believe.

Rules say yes and 7 will be interesting, more people but slightly slower.

Signups don't open until the weekend. I'm not accepting any reservations before that. I want everyone to be on equal footing. If you're not going to be online on the weekend, PM me and we'll talk about it.

There's a new game going up?

I would very much like to take part, but I'll be on holiday from next tuesday to sunday... That's 5 days. Will that be a problem?

Signups are set to start on the 8th, the game itself will start on the 16th, although it might get bumped back to 17th or 18th due to certain things cropping up. If you can't make the signups, give me a PM, completely missing the first turn of the game would be a bigger problem.

Excellent. I will arrive home the 16th, so I won't miss the first day. :)

Very interesting.

So if I have this spreadsheet I may be able to run it .. I'm not quite sure I know the game well enough to do it right now though. Not to mention having to whip up DRADIS every now and then..

You know what, I'll make you a deal. Run it again and I'll consider running it for you next time around. By then I should have played it a few more times and have a better idea of the nitty details - things like player moves to vipers, what happens to destroyed ship tokens and thus with ships, how certain locations work etc..

(According to the manual destroyed ships get removed from the game. This appears to contradict what happens in the forum games, though.. hmm.)

The main concern for me is how to track the game without setting up a board somewhere though. The spreadsheet idea seems nice but it'd have to be fairly portable. A google docs spreadsheet might work .. hm.

I can help you with the google spreadsheet set-up (at least the framework before the game starts, that is).

Regarding the real-life playing, you can allways count on me to help you get more play-time :D

Looks like we'll play Pegasus then!

Sounds like a plan. You can play, or you can follow the game and we can talk about how I'm running it simultaneously as situations crop up.

Destroyed cylon ships are merely put back to the pool, if a new crisis card puts more ships on the DRADIS, then there they are placed. The game would be far too easy if all the humans had to do was kill 16 raiders and 2 basestars and you'd just run out of cylons for the rest of the game. There's a difference between "destroyed"/"removed from the board" and "removed from the game"/"placed back in the box". The latter only happens to things like nuke tokens and destroyed human ships (unless a card like Ragnor Anchorage allows you to get them back).

I am not familiar with google spreadsheets so I don't know if the randomization etc. would work.

I'd have to test the randomization too, but I don't think it will be a problem.

Regarding the destroyed cylon ships: I think we did that wrong last sunday, but it didn't matter, after having hit 4 Cylon attack crisis cards before we could do the first jump, and then hitting 2 more, we were quite done for anyway :)
 
I will suggest the next thread be entitled as:

Battlestar Galactica: Season 3 :rofl:
 
I wouldn't mind GMing, but I'd have to buy the board game, and the shipping cost to Korea will be as much as the game itself, if I bought a used one. Maybe when I get back to the states next year...

Is there a pdf manual for Pegasus ?
 
Some good resources at board game geeks to download but I don't have the links with me.

First post should have some info, including the link to the PDF.
The PDF isn't the whole story though.

Links to the manual can also be found in the general information thread.

If it's okay with Artell I will borrow some of his informational posts and put them there also :)

For the expansion? I didn't see a manual for it, only the original.

I haven't added that one yet. I will try to update the information tonight, but if don't find the time it will have to wait till after the weekend. :)
