Sorry Matt, just to clarify ... I already own the 3 supplements to ACTA, I was looking for a free PDF of the back covers of each so I didn't have to cut up the books (as opposed to having to pay for each of them again in electronic format!)

Visit the Mongoose B5 forums for more info on 2nd edition ... My own campaign I started during the Dilgar War, with players being fresh recruits into Earth Force. They played through that, the Earth/Minbari War and are now senior figures in the background of the series. I originally used the...

Matt, Neo, I never suggested that the 2nd edition was going to invalidate the current books. I simply suggested that the guy wait and see what 2nd edition will bring before committing his cash. I bet it DOES replace the current 1st edition core rule book (which is most likely going to be his...

LOL - I hope that was sarcasm :) I have the complete range of B5 RPG material released to date, and I intend to purchase the 2nd edition when it comes out (at least, the core rule book - I'll see what follows in terms of overlap). My point was that - *if* I didn't already own all this...

Hold on to your cash for a little while longer ... the 2nd edition is in the works and won't be backwards compatible with (or at least, there's no conversion to) the current edition. The current edition is D20 System and requires a WOTC PHB. The new system will be OGL and will be standalone...

I'll second this. I have the complete range of Blood and Guts, plus Blood and Fists, Blood and Space, Blood and Relics etc and have just ordered Legends of the Samurai in print. These have all been excellent products - great quality material, with some truely superb mechanics as well as...

Does anyone know if the upcoming Mastering Iron Heroes fixes the magic system? If so, I'll consider buying it, otherwise I'm going to wait for Iron Heroes Evolved - there's a player in my group who always loves playing a spellcaster, so I can't play IH without a better magic system (she's my...

I have. Although I've not used it at the gaming table, it flooded back memories of the old MERP critical hit system - tables of different damage types per hit location. I can't remember the exacts of the S&S mechanics, but it something along the lines of generating a Critical Value (based on...

I use a hit location system for my Spycraft campaign. Basically, armour has no bonus to defence, but acts as damage reduction only (obviously only certain hit locations - jackets covering chest and abdomen, helmets covering head etc). Hit Location is a single D10 roll. Each body part has...

Turning this slightly on its head ... A while back during a particularly nasty encounter, one of the Rogues took a hit and then declared "right, that's me dead" (I don't track the PC Hit Points myself). So I asked him what he was down to in terms of minuses (cos that's what I consider my sole...

Just bought the updated version (was holding back as I only want to print off one copy). Is there any chance the ZIP file can be updated with a more printer friendly version of the document (minus all those red borders???) Alternatively, does anyone have recommended printer settings for...

Wulf, First of all, congrats on an excellent product - after hearing all the positive comments and reviews on Enworld, I grabbed a copy off Amazon (no local game store here ... everything I buy for RPG has to come off the web!). Secondly, just a quick question - any ideas for when the Vehicle...

Hi All, I recently got Complete Warrior, and am a bit confused about the Historical Tactics on p124. If this has been covered before, just point me to a link, otherwise any help would be much appreciated! Arrow Volley There are a couple of issues I have here. (1) It states that the...

I've got Hogshead Crime Scene The Mob and its definetly worth taking a look at. There's an excellent blend of flavour and mechanics in there for handling running an organised crime syndicate. You may also want to check out either their Crime Scene Forensics or Crime Scene Police Investigation...

I completely disagree with Gary's views on the OGL. I personally think its been a breath of fresh air to the gaming industry. It may not have been all things to everyone, but it has certainly rediscovered my love for DnD. I've also started 2 groups of completely new players (playing one night a...
