    All of those incidents had extenuating circumstances! If you'll look at the AAR that I've attached here: <<ERROR: Unable to authenticate security clearance of myBattlestar userID -NULL-, please try again once user is registered.>> it gives a much more complete picture of my flying history.

    Totally normal raptor pilot, Lieutenant Sharon "Athena" Agathon reporting in.

    Starting draw: 1 Piloting, 1 Leadership, 1 Engineering

    Although @tosorak still needs to choose their starting draw.

  • tosoraktosorak Registered User regular
    I'm going 1st so I'll get the normal full turn draw of 5 cards, instead of choosing 3 cards (2 if playing a cylon leader) during this setup step.

    It's clearly been too long since I've played this game.

    +1 for infiltrating!

    You start infiltrating and are entitled to draw an extra card on your turn but the setup rules are
    Cylon Leaders have a Skill set, and must draw their Skill Cards
    from within their Skill set. At the start of the game, Cylon
    Leaders draw only two Skill Cards, not three.

    I don't see anything in Athena's info or the rules about starting with an extra card

    I swear I read this at one point. Just a sec...

    It's in the Daybreak rules (pg. 8 - emphasis mine):

    "Cylon Leaders have a skill set, and must draw their Skill Cards from within their set. During setup, Cylon Leaders draw two Skill Cards, not three. Note: Sharon “Athena” Agathon starts the game Infiltrating (see “Infiltrating” on page 8), so she draws three Skill Cards at the start of the game."

    Definitely easy to miss, but it's there. https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/11/e5/11e5b88b-a6f7-4819-b467-e729d6486b90/bsg_daybreak_rulebook_engindd_v-3.pdf

    Just for the Daybreak characters (like Athena) that players pick, I think.

    It had its ups and downs. I'd probably skip the last episode though.

    Did they rebalance the cylon leader decks in daybreak too? Or is it the pegasus deck of 7 player probably evil cylon leader/

    Yeah you probably can just pretend it ended on Season 3.
    They didn't have a plan when they started the series and it shows. I think the problem was that they took Baltar on the base star and then had to create the final five to explain why he didn't know who they were.
    Then it just went more and more off the rails what with a permanent crew member being a ghost and other really weird really dumb stuff.

    Ah, but if you do that you miss the mutiny episodes! Those are among the highlights of the whole series, for me.

    More likely evil than not, but you never know!

    There's a whole new deck of Motive cards for the Cylon Leaders in Daybreak, but I believe we're not using those.

  • PhyphorPhyphor Building Planet Busters Tasting FruitRegistered User regular
    Correct, you will receive a normal agenda from the hostile pool. You're bound by your character-specific daybreak clarifications but no other daybreak rules are in effect

    Genocide – The Cylons have won AND Both food and population are at 2 or less.
    Reduce Them to Ruins – The Cylons have won AND 4 or more Galactica and/or Pegasus locations are damaged and Morale is at 3 or lower.
    Show Their True Nature – The Cylons have won AND Either you are in the “Brig” or “Detention”, or you have been executed at least once.
    Siege Warfare – The Cylons have won AND Every resource is at half or lower (in the red).
    Grant Mercy – The humans have won AND Population, morale, or food is 2 or lower.
    Mutual Annihilation – The humans have won AND You have played a Super Crisis Card.

    Is it... bad form to keep track of the cards that everyone has? In a real-time game that's not super easy necessarily, here it's trivial if your wanted to

    Yes, in general we will know who had access to what colors through out the game and going more granular then that isn't very fun imo

    We also won't know what cards people submit during the crisis skill checks. So I can say I'm putting in 2 cards that will help, but only the host will know which 2 I actually submitted. But don't worry I'm totally going to turn out human, you can trust what I say!

    I figured going a Political limited my choices more and gave someone else more, so win-win probably
