[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 3271278, member: 14159"] As for the type of campaign, I can see three ways of doing it: 1. The Cylon Wars. Set back 40 years before the series, when the new Caprica spin-off show is going to be set. 2. Another Battlestar. Maybe something that would be a lower priority target, like a training ship (also an excuse for the PC's to be low level at the start, since it could be a training ship and the PC's be cadets and/or junior officers aboard, the Cylons strike and the senior officers are killed and when the dust settles, they've escaped with a handful of support ships and civilian stragglers. Maybe have them be "one step behind" sometimes, like getting Roslin's call to rendevous too late, and by the time they show up the fleet has departed, or arriving at Kobol to the wreckage of a Cylon ship in orbit destroyed by a colonial nuke, and signs of recent landings on the planet. Some additional adventures and a separate plot twist so that it's not just a gimmick of being right behind the Galactica, like finding the path to the Cylon homeworld instead of Earth and trying to somehow take on the Cylons by attacking their homeworld in a retalliatory strike. 3. Parallell story. It's the Galactica as the last known battlestar, but the PC's are the crew instead. PC's playing the parts of Apollo, Starbuck, Adama, ect. and see how they'd do in similar circumstances. As for the PL thing, I was just noting it's pretty close to the book description of PL6, with one exception. For rules purposes in things in d20F that use PL's, to consider Colonial and Cylon tech PL6 (with Cylons a little more advanced with FTL and Biotech, but not a full PL). [/QUOTE]
