[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 1057053, member: 8439"] From the excerpts and reveiws I've seen, I'm a little concerned about the B5 game... While I'd love to roleplay in the "Babylon 5 universe", I don't neccassarily want to run or play in the show Babylon 5. For instance, even though the Psi Corps was often an adversary in the show, I highly dislike the fact that the game seems to have based their "factual reality" on the worst biases of the show's anti-corps characters. (again, this is my impression from excerpts and such). The idea that the Rangers will only be introduced as they entered and related to the plot of the show also strikes me as limiting for a roleplaying universe. Now, it may be within the "vision" of writer/producer JMS that the perspective of the main characters on the show really is the objective truth of the universe (Deconstruction of Falling Stars sort of implied that) but it doesn't make for a RPG I'm interested in. So for those who have seen more of the book, is it accurate that the adversaries of the show have become the objective 'bad guys' of the rpg, or can I use it to run a game with a different perspective?
