[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 2848836, member: 151"] One would think that an RPG-hater would have prevented one RPG from being from his work, let alone TWO. One thing that I haven't seen mentioned was the whole 'canon' issue. One stated goal JMS claimed, years ago, was how the B5 books and extended media would be canon. Unlike the Star Trek novels, which were always disavowed by Paramount, the books were going to be approved by JMS as canon. This proved out when elements from the Psi Corps trilogy and Technomage trilogy would also appear in the unfilmed scripts for Crusade. I'm under the impression the issue about use of the work, it's about trying to represent JMS as being involved with the project and that by virtue of that, the material is considered canon. Especially when JMS is currently working on a new B5 writing project of his own. My suspicion is that this is a case of WB's left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing, which was a frequent problem for the TV series both during and after production. [/QUOTE]
