Re: THIS JUST IN!!!

According to GamingReport.com, they received news that the planned Babylon 5 Core Rulebook will be a 302-page hardcover book priced at $44.95.

Ouch! More expensive than Buffy. Who'd a thought the B5 license would be so expensive.

As regards the price tag, I wouldn't lay the whole thing to the license. 302 colour pages in a hardback binding will not be cheap to produce and Mongoose have to pitch the pricing such that they make a living wage on the core-book... and so far Mongoose have shown pretty solid business instincts.

I doubt it's the license. My theory is that it is more expensive to print/publish books in the UK than in the US.

Again, it's just my theory.

(sorry it just escaped me )

Despite the hefty price, I will still definitely buy the book. I'm just hoping that other publishers, seeing a higher price on this as well as Traveller 20, won't raise the prices on their new books as well

Converting $44.95 US, how much would be that in UK currency?

More questions for Matt .......

Will entry into the Rangers initially be resistricted to Minbari characters?

Will there be a write-up for the Liandra? Even though it wasn't seen until Legends, ships of that type had been around since the Earth-Minbari War and it's small size would make it an ideal vessel for most PC groups.

Have you included a map of the galaxy and if so, how similar/dissimilar is it to the one that appeared in Chameleon Electric's game?

Approximately £30. At least by my calculations.

Ah. Interesting. In the US, most d20 sourcebooks are priced at $30 which is probably not expensive to UK customers, I think.
