[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 2605827, member: 14159"] As somebody who is something of a fan of the B5 RPG (judging by the half-dozen or so books for it on my shelf) and didn't know anything about a second edition before this thread, here's what I've got to say. I can certainly understand dumping the d20STL and going straight OGL, it does appear to be really part of your overall strategy. The hindrances of the STL are something I can certainly understand you wanting to be free of. Simply removing that little logo and including character creation/advancement information is the easy step there. However, as to actually changing things. From what I see, it looks pretty good as-is. Perhaps a nice little declaration that the Worker class is meant to be an NPC class (and the optional Worker class rules you had on your web site being included in the core too), and any errata or tweaks. Personally, as a suggestion I would ask to separate the core book from the season 1 guide, and make the core book more of a general overview, since things people think of when they think of B5 like Rangers and the White Star aren't even in the core book. I'll agree with the sentiment that I'd be very upset if there are radical changes in a Second Edition that would make my original B5 RPG incompatible, but I'll take your word for it is not your intent.
