S&P B5 Legacy of War

[Sedric the Hero]

I see Signs & Portents is running a 14 part Babylon campaign in it called 'Legacy of War'. I'm disappointed to see it using the Traveller rules rather than the 2nd edition B5 rules (i am unfamiliar w/these other rules and i hate converting from a new system). Anyone on here running this?

I plan to once I get the B5 book. Never played traveller before but I got the corebook just for B5.
Mind if it hadn't had B5 converted I would have got traveller for Judge Dredd.

You should buy it though, a good system that looks like it will be fun to play.

I wonder whether the whole thing will be published?

It's a 14 part series based on B5, being published one part each month. Part 1 was last December. That puts part 14 in the February 2010 issue of S&P.

But the B5 licence expires at the end of June 2009...

Traveller is fairly straight forward and easy to learn and B5 translates well to these rules.

If you *really* wanted to run it for D20, you could do will minimal effort. I've kept rule references down to a minimum. Any skill checks that a required are pretty obvious to seasoned D20 players, so the only thing you would really have to do is convert the NPC stats.

anyone got any conversion guidelines?...as my players are reluctant to learn a new system like traveller
