(Mongoose) Babylon 5 RPG - Full Details!

[Mongoose_Matt]

A few more answers;

1. Zathras is mentioned in the main rulebook though, I have to confess, he has not been statted. Do you guys _really_ want his stats?

2. As for the many mails I have received with regards to freelancing and playtesting, I am afraid this game has been in development for nine months now. The playtesting is done and the freelance opportunities went long ago. . .

3. The main rulebook actually uses a converted Dragonstar system as a basis for its space combat. However, you know us - we just can't leave anything alone So, Starfuries can pivot in space, Vorlons have adaptive armour, the Minbari are _frightening_ and there are all sorts of other bits and pieces that have made this feel very different to the DS you all know and love. However, I have been considering an advanced space combat game - it is not a priority as, at its core, this is not what a B5 RPG should be about, but it is on the cards. . .

4. At this time, we have little wish to get into miniatures, I am afraid. However, if you have your own miniatures collection (be it 28mm station personnel or spacecraft), they _are_ supported by the main rules.

Knowing, would say. Saying, would know. Do not know, so cannot say.

Sorry, I just had to do that. And no, I guess his stats aren't really that important. I could always figure them out if I had to. I'm just giddy with delight at the news.

So when will the B5 RPG website see the light of the... net?

I had to register after being linked to this chat from the B5 newsgroup. I am shocked it has not been mentioned before, but when will the rules include technomages? [opinion]They are, after all, the badest MFers in the B5 universe![/opinion]

Well, I want to know who has the license to make 28mm B5 miniatures, or action figures for that matter?

Would love to see B5 MicroMachine collection.

d20 logo yes, d20 Modern, no - for some very good reasons that will become clear over time

A real silly idea IMO. To require the D&D PHB to play SF RPG. I thought it was really stupid with T20 too....

Most likely the only thing you will need from the Player's Handbook will be the level advancement chart. D20 Modern has the exact same chart in it, so you can probably use either.

Great news, Matt. I really look forward to seeing what you do with this!

Cheers

I'm looking forward to it, even if it ends up just being for the B5 source material
