I just saw Ezra's review on Popehat of the BSG board game.
So which of our independently wealthy gamers is going to run out and get it so we can see how it translates into a forum game?? After playing in Roborally, I bet we could get this to work as well.
At the very least, it might give Lassr some new ideas to work into his next game.

"I don't know," Snufkin replied.
The door shut again and Snufkin entered his forest, with a hundred miles of silence ahead of him.

Hmmm... $35 - $40, eh?
I guess I'll have to wait until LordMortis orders his to get one...

Kiss my lily what ass. Just don't tongue jack the brown eye.
Where is that damned puking smiley when you really need it.

You missed it then. I ran several games of it.

Saw it in-store and all I can say is that the contents of BSG are impressive. If they're all necessary, it might make forum gaming tough.

Links weren't good enough?
Now I have to dig up every werewolf game ever played (in order) to fix this damned forum.

Damn, Remus.....
I happen to love that game but it did not seem to generate enough interest to continue running games as folks petered out on it.

Quit poking zombies, damnit.
I would like to apologize to anyone I have not offended.
Please be patient - I will get to you shortly.

I can see it getting old after a few games with the same players. A rest period is probably a good thing. If there's rumblings of war with the Spring thaw, I will gladly sally forth to the field of battle.

Hmmmm.
I think I am up for this. Maybe we can start after the christmas holidays as I wont have much time.
So, we need 6 players. How much interest do we have?
Doing IRL will be more work than Photoshopping. I don't know how big the board is, but when I was working on RR, I was planning on stitching multipls scans together to get the boards right. A lot of the cards and pieces have already been shot at BGG. I would highly recommend you check that out to minimize your workload.
Finland doesn't show Battlestar Galactica, so I probably don't know anything at all about the series, expect cylons are bad guys. If one doesn't need any 'back-ground information', I could join.
Roleplaying in Massive Multiplayer Online Role-playing game? BLASHPHEMY!! Do you like OO? Do you like Civilization? Do you like Fall From Heaven 2? If you answer yes at all, come to viewtopic.php?f=4&t=62242

Thanks, I will go there. The only time consuming part of hosting this game is the card management.
However, the way the game turns work, I think it can work out pretty well. I am up for the challenge.

I think somebody can give us a quick overview of the show and the main characters each person can play in the game.
