Unpublished Babylon 5 novels...

[lightsyder]

I was wondering if any of the unpublished Babylon 5 novels other than Ranger Dawning made it out as PDF files or actual print copies? I would love to read these.

As far as I know, we were told not to distribute them. Sadly enough, because I would have loved for people to have read mine.

Could you tell us who owns the novels?

I'm assuming MP paid you for your work.

Hi guys,

Keep an eye out for the Deconstruction PDF coming very soon - it may just contain a few goodies

Thanks Matt!

I'm very excited to see some more B5 RPG material before the end, especially something on the scale of Deconstruction.

Keep up the great work.

What's the Deconstruction PDF?

What's ending?

Sorry for the questions but I've been away from these forums for a long time...

Brothers has opted not to allow Mongoose to renew or renegotiate the license. I was away until quite recently also and was quite dismayed to hear this. The Traveler books and “Deconstruction of Falling Stars,” will be the last RPG books produced for B5.

Deconstruction looks like it will be a very large collection of unfinished RPG and lore material for B5. They will be releasing it as a PDF.

CtA will be getting a new edition and setting, because the B5 license applied to that as well.

Stock up on your gaming materials now, because you won’t be able to buy anything new in the near future.
goose to renew the liscense.

Well, that sucks. I don't play the RPG but I really enjoyed reading the books. They added so much to the Babylon 5 universe. So I guess this franchise is officially dead then? Unless Warner Bros is serious about making a theatrical movie.

Maybe a certain first officer's novel as well, which BTW I hear has seen print for charity.

Actually, it's the other way around: MGP has opted not to renew the licence because of a dwindling interest by the public for B5.

Read the "State of the Mongoose" thread (http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB ... hp?t=37965) where Matt explains it all.

Does Deconstruction have a release date?

[lightsyder]

So, since we got three of the novels released in the Deconstruction pdf is there any chance the others can be released as well?

I am afraid not - the others are in no fit state for us to consider releasing them (fiction is a bit different from gaming material). The three that have been released into the wild had faced at least a reasonable level of editing.

[lastbesthope]

Which three are in Deconstruction?

My guess would be Visions of Peace (Have signed), Ranger Dawning(Definitely don't have the pdf) and Baptism of Fire(Am so glad to be getting in one form or another)?????

Shame, all of the books looked like they would be real interesting,

Your guess would be correct

[lastbesthope]

I would have known as much if I read the announcement better.

Pity I don't already have the pdf of Ranger Dawning, no sir, not me

I thought that I sent you a copy of it LBH

No, why would I have a copy of something that had to be pulled from the internet since someone's lawyers said no you can't distribute that.

Absolutely definitely don't have a copy of it, no sir.

NOTE: Saavik rules of comms apply to that post, not all is as it seems
