Us BSG fans have it pretty good these days. Weird to say that since the show has been off the air for quite a bit now, we really shouldn’t have so much interesting stuff happening… but hey, I ain’t going to tell them to stop!

First up is the just announced expansion for the already fantastic Battlestar Galactica board game. This marks the second expansion for the game and introduces more game elements that make the deception and treachery of the BSG game so much fun! The full run down on new elements can be found here and this is one I’m definitely going to pick up as soon as it’s released. I’m especially interested in the Conflicted Loyalties aspect.

Now I just need to find some more people to play it with, it’s not an entry level game by any means so finding willing players can sometimes be a hassle.

In another bit of excellent news it would seem that the SyFy Network has greenlit a new Battlestar pilot episode that will trace the Viper pilot life of a young William Adama during the 1st Cylon War. This marks a return to the more interesting aspects of the BSG universe and away from the Caprica, which for my money really didn’t do anything for me at all.

Two bits of news to get excited about for us Battlestar fans, and give us a reason to still yell things like “FRAK!” and “SO SAY WE ALL!”
