Hi all.I have a bit of time to spare at the moment, the missus is at work and I'm feeling thoughtful. Got me thinking on the various games of BSG I have played... and there have been many. I have a regular gaming group who play almost weekly, its taken up a surprising cult following with my gaming circle.
But I got thinking how closely this game emulates the paranoia of the theme of the show. Then I got thinking of how often you can do actions that pretty much follow the plot of the show. Then I thought I've sometimes done things, that while might not be the most optimum method stragetically, they were pretty close to replicating the show and therefore quite good for a laugh!
I started thinking of some kind of... I dunno.... plot faithful points you could earn while playing the game? Achievements aimed at recreating the events of the show, within the games own game and rules limitiations of course. Any ideas will be welcome and I might try producing a list of achievements for my gaming sessions.
Please note. These are just for fun. And if you end up losing the game (for either humans or cylons) in the attempt to complete one of these achievements, your teammates might not be too happy!
And just in case...
EPIC PLOT SPOILERS AHOY!
1 - Thank you sir As Boomer reveal and shoot Adama
The classic and one of my fave scenes. And one I've managed to complete once because I couldn't resist! Actually quite hard to achieve as you need to be a cylon as boomer, have the "send to sickbay" reveal card and also have someone playing as Adama. Bonus points if you manage to shoot him while he is in command!
2 - For the old man Execute Boomer as Cally using her OPG
3 - I did it for you Saul As Saul Tigh execute Ellen Tigh on New Caprica
4 - Fly Cally Fly As Tory, flush Cally out of the Airlock
5 - I don't care if it saves all humanity, it's morally wrong! As Helo. Use your OPG to reverse the current players decision to attempt to kill all Cylon ships with the Cylon genocide crisis. Annoying everyone in the process.
6 - Some alone time please As Caprica 6, use your once per turn "Intimate" ability on Gauis Baltar at least 3 times
Any other ideas?
