Just read the whole thing, well i don't know if that's going to happen but if it does happen i'll take a look at it

I wonder if it'll be d20 like their other games (If they have the license)?
Old Age And Treachery Will Triumph Over Youth And Skill
The rumor has been on for a while, but given the forum thread, it's possible there would be some ground to it after all...
Most likely it'll be D20. After all, they tweaked D20 for B5 and came up with a perfectly good version for sci-fi before D20 Space. I don't like D20 but I've been impressed by their work on B5... And they do know how to manage a line, that's sure.
If it's true I'll definitely pick it up.

Manage a line, yes. Edit...not so much. Their Babylon 5 game, while vital and growing, is a hideous mess because they crank shit out too fast without giving it even a cursory once-over with a spell-checker, let alone real editing.Originally Posted by KillerWhale
I hope that, if they do have a shot at the license, they'll take better care of things. Their quality control lacks some things, IMO.

I so hope so. $45 is acceptable. 300 pages is good. Jun 2005 is great. I hope it'll get the feel right. Along the lines of Icon, Coda, or even PD would work. I don't know much about FASA. Any chance any Icon/ Coda designers could be involved again? I get the idea they've given up on it. I guess Hite and Long are out of the question. Maybe SJohn Ross? Hopefully Mongoose winds up cranking out as much as WEGWars. More detailed and scientific worldbuilding would be cool, along the lines of GURPS. Guidelines for actual mapping of terrain would be nice. 15 to 20 core races would be good, maybe include Denobulans. Ooh! Ooh! an RPGspecific Starchart book starting from Mandel's! How little chance is there that they could use material created for Icon/ Coda? I'd be interested to see how they'd start fresh. Considering Coda, I think D20 would be workable. Sector sourcebooks would be good, starting with 001, covering every system therein. Nondiscouragedly playable Vorta. New empires to fill up unknown space. Sourcebooks for Menthar/ Promellian, Iconian, and Tkon days. For the 25th, 27th, 29th, 30th centuries and for ancient Vulcan, Andor, Qonos, Bajor, etc. Guidelines for creating alternate realities.
Interesting. *lol* If this keeps up, I'm going to need a library room just for my Trek gaming material.

Buy it or don't buy it. Or buy it and reverse-engineer it for your system of preference.
It's what I used Decipher's materials for - the fluff.

Hmm. Skeptical but ... hmm.
Why is it that Amazon.com is allowed to leak information when the company have not officially announce it? Bah. I'm not a fan of hype, is all.
Personally, it's good news. My opinion? It will follow their Conan and Lone Wolf RPG series. IOW, it will be OGL, just won't carry the d20 logo.
Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

If true I'd just hope they slow down their release schedule a little bit... While the pace of Decipher's releases was way too slow, I find they release much too many Babylon 5 products for my tastes. Your milage may vary.

*laugh* No kidding Dan. I like the B5 Product but I'm definitely unable to keep up with the volume of product that has been released given my other purchases in other lines.

Well, they do have at least ONE deal going with Decipher...

They will be publishing an RPG based on the WARS card game from Dec.
Curiouser and curiouser...
