[personal opinion]
on the lines of the discussion of sci fi shows (also affectionately known as 'space oprah', I find the each of the three shows of star trek, B5 and firefly have unto themselves their own class. My only gripe of the three is that the firefly movie 'serenity' answered all of the questions. What can you do to that? How can you reserrect that? Wash and shepherd killed ... You cannot restart without those two!
I'm forced to agree with you on the Serenity thing, but Joss really had no choice. Despite the HUGE amount of support from the fans, the networks weren't going to allow a continuation of the series, and there was no guarantee the movie was going to make enough money to allow a sequel.
However, from what I've heard and read, had the series continued, Wash was going to be killed during the second season. There was no plan to keep him as a long term character. As far as Book goes...yes, he had a background of some sort (that we never did get the answers to), but all in all he was a minor character. Nothing in the series truly centered around him.
So, with that said...I still expect another Firefly/Serenity movie. There has been some talk of it; whether it happens or not, who knows?

EEK! An Undead Warforged? For real? I didn't even know that there was such a thing. "Undead Magical Construct" -- what a concept! If Basher7 falls in my 'Keep on the Shadowfell' game, maybe we can convince Scotley to allow 'him' to be reanimated?
Heh, yeah that would be interesting to say the least. However; I hope you'll forgive me if I'd prefer to just keep Basher7 alive.
Well, on the subject of Babylon 5, I've got a game running on these boards that needs some new players (currently Blackrat and Shayuri, formerly WD and Jemal)

Sure sounds like fun, Dr. Si, but I'm afraid that I don't know the first thing about the Babylon 5 game. Does it use the d20 system?
EDIT: I read the Introductory Post of the game and it sounds great and very cool!
You don't really need to know much about the gamesystem. It is based of off standard D&D 3.5 using their own eguipment and classes, but the basic game mechanic works just like D&D. I think all you really need to worry about is coming up with a consept and me and Dr. Simon can help you through mechanics part of character creation.

Ok, cool, but even a concept will be quite a challenge for me, considering that I have seen just a very few episodes of B5, and that was quite a number of years ago. I for sure don't know the names of any of the races, or any details like that.

I would very much like to, but I am looking for another game or two to drop out of as it is. If any of my characters get killed in any of the 12 games I am in, I won't be re-rolling anything.
If I had the chance to play, I would want to play a psy, I would think. Anti Psi-Corp ya know?

"Any," I assume, EXCEPT Whirtlestaff's? [j/k - You're in a number of games that are of much higher quality than mine, so want me to help you out by killing off a couple? hehehe ]

Ok, sorry! I thought this whole thread was off-topic. And it's good to be seeing so much of you, WD! (Almost like the good old days!)

For the record:
i am not actively trying to kill any character and I would not want any dm to try to do likewise. What happens is what happens. If I had tried to kill off any, Cappizzio could be cilled off by just jumping down and taking on the owl bear bare fisted or Caerwyn would have joined rogash and uulark on the under the street passage way...which i think you two will be seeing the winner of the last fight there in the chaos beast chamber really soon....
On a side note, did I see someone mention the possibility of another serenity movie? What is going to happen in it? that assasin joins the crew of S.?
on another aside, there is a logical and good reason why i would decrease the number games I am playing in. I plan on running a game, eventually. I just need to get free of some time committments and games.And before any ask it would be at least a year before I solidify any thing.

That might be a bit problematic then ... But then again, I believe it can be worked around if you have some idea what sort of character you want to play.
That and some judicious use of the venerable Lurker's Guide

Ok, thanks! Having read a bit to jog my memory, I think that I would NOT want to play a Narn, Mindori, Vorlon, or Centauri. Better stick with a human. And I'd be looking to make him a cross between a hotshot pilot and a rogue. Sort of a "Han Solo meets Mad Martigan*" kind of fellow. How does that sound?
* Or whatever Val Kilmer's character's name was in "Willow"
BTW, could you please give me links for the OOC and RG? Got the IC just fine.
See the spoiler block in my sig for OOC and RG files. You may want to check with Blackrat about overlap with his *ahem* Minbari character who is currently the pilot of the group, but I don't see too much of a problem if another character has some dogfighting ability.

If Basher7 falls in my 'Keep on the Shadowfell' game, maybe we can convince Scotley to allow 'him' to be reanimated? 
Does it use the d20 system?
