[QUOTE="Mytholder, post: 558902, member: 5200"] Stargate is very very suited to an rpg. You've got your adventuring party (an SG team) who go on episodic missions. The Stargate can lead anywhere, allowing the GM to adapt and drop in scenarios easily. You've got a military hierarchy at home, letting the GM guide the PCs when he needs to, but in the field, everyone's more or less equal, with their own specialities. Babylon 5's big problem is that it's got one big story, which hits almost all the high points of the universe. It's like Star Wars -you can mooch around and play the supporting cast (deliver the death star plans to Princess Leia, stop the terrorists from blowing up B5 before it's operational), or go off on adventures that miss all the cool stuff (expanded universe Star Wars, for example). The old B5 rpg took the rather odd tack of setting itself before the B5 story arc. Babylon 5 can work as an rpg, but it'll require a bit more work to adapt than Stargate. [/QUOTE]
