[QUOTE="megablake, post: 5346324, member: 81069"] Babylon 5 is a great place to mine for campaign ideas. One of the very first campaigns I ran (back with AD&D 2nd Ed) was based heavily off the third season. It translates well to fantasy, which is appropriate given how much it borrows from Lord of the Rings (Z'ha'dum, Lorien, even Rangers!). Using demons to fill the Shadow roll could definitely work. I think there's some aspects that work well with devils (like Morden), and daemons could provide a nice middle ground. Most people have heard of demons and devils, but the daemons are a much more subtle and hidden race. Plus, they're not above using devils and demons to further their goals (and the [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/outsiders/daemon/derghodaemon"]derghodaemon[/URL] has the look down). When in doubt, I'd fall back on whatever outsider philosophy best fits the B5 questions: [LIST] [*]Who are you? [*]What do you want? [*]Why are you here? & Do you have anything worth living for? [*]Where are you going [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
