First Post
I'm looking to attempt to run my first campaign here on ENWorld, but I wanted to see if there was any interest first. I am planning on using Mongoose's Babylon 5 d20 rules to run a campaign based on their current line of products. Before I do that, I would like to see if there is any interest and/or questions before I post details of what I had in mind. Thanks for listening. Be seeing you.
General Background:
It is the Earth year 2258. Most all recent open conflicts throughout the galaxy have ended and peace reigns. At least on the surface. To those who know better, wars never end; they only go underground. The Babylon stations were built to ensure a place that all races, no matter their difference, could settle their disputes with words and not weapons. Now, the last of the stations, Babylon 5, has also become a haven for those trying to escape workaday lives, to find a new and better life out here in the middle of open space, neutral territory to all races and to all nations. Your characters are those people, working here on Babylon 5 for one reason or another, by choice, by force, or otherwise. Little do they know the role they will play in the shaping of the future.
House Rules:
Character Generation:
1. Stats are built with a 28-point character buy.
2. Allowed races: Humans, Narn, Centauri, Minbari, Abbai, Brakiri, Drazi, Gaim, PakMaRa, Vree.
3. Allowed starting classes: Agent, Diplomat, Lurker, Officer, Scientist, Soldier, Telepath, Worker.
4. Hit points begin at maximum for your class.
5. Starting money will be average for your class.
6. Special Note for Human telepaths- you must choose to either be a member of Psi Corps or be a rogue. If you are a rogue, your background must include how you managed to escape Psi Hounds all this time.
7. Maximum P Rating for Teeps is 12.
8. As far as weapons go, if you purchase one, please give a description of how you have managed to get it on board Babylon 5 if you would not normally be issued one, as in not a member of security.
Generic rules:
1. This game will focus a lot on character background and roleplaying. When there is a fight, I want to use this dice roller: Dice Roller
2. Please make an effort to post at least 2-3 times a week.
3. If a discrepancy comes up in game, we will discuss it here and put the in-character thread on hold until we resolve it.
4. After I post this message, I will put up a rogue gallery and a link to it in this message. Please post your characters there and once they are approved, I will start the in-game thread.
5. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Please remember that this is my first time DMing on ENWorld, so be gentle
6. One other note I needed to add... This game, as its namesake implies, has a lot of adult themes, such as alcoholism and other vices, criminal elements and grave morality judgements. If you are adverse to these things, please keep that in mind when reading.
Players:
1. Crothian (David McCall, Human Pilot Officer)
2. Denthil (Geoff Redgrave, Human Soldier)
3. Tyrlaan (Varn Janno, Centauri doctor)
4. Strahd (Dobar, Drazi worker)
5. Enlighten (Selise, Minbari Religious Caste Telepath)
6. Thatdarncat (Becky Keller, Human Scientist)
