He was among the best of us. Having the courage of landing on the moon, despite the risks and the fact he nearly died a couple of times on the way during the space program. He will be sorely missed.

Question, how is the Sabria Armored Cargo Transport not going to get you done for copyright infringement? I mean it's not just similar to the Marauder Class Corvette from Star Wars, it's identical. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Marauder-class_corvette

Well it will be priced into US dollars and exported to the US, then us in the great white north will just have to see what happens. But most companies are starting to offer decent rates on books now.

I notice that it is now up for pre-order on the site, but I have a query. Why is the UK price being listed as 20 pounds (damn my new north American keyboard), yet the US price is only $33.95? Aren't these being printed in the UK and isn't the US dollar heading straight down and round the u-bend...

So I noticed Legend of the Rangers and Lurkers Guide to Telepaths in my new LGS today and what can I say? Ugggghhh. What happened here? They look like they were printed on someone's office B&W laser printer, completely with dodgy toner lines across the images, and then bound into a nice cover...

Does Wargamingonline stock the roleplaying stuff? I can't seem to find any on there, just the Call to Arms B5 items.

So has Leap of Faith become a PDF only release? I notice it's now out in PDF, but has no release details on the site despite the recent updates.

Ah why buy that when for a few pound more you can get the box set of absolutely everything. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Babylon-Complete-Universe-Bruce-Boxleitner/dp/B000B7KXEU/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/026-0655363-6462043?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1176799662&sr=8-1

Oh come on, In The Beginning is so inconsistent with the rest of the series it's unbelievable. About the only consistant thing is there is a war between the humans and Minbari. I can't believe how inconsistent JMS made that. As for the debris falling down though, I go more for the theory of...

I'd like to see a little more time spent proofreading the material and checking for consistency within the line and with the TV series. The spelling and grammatically poor sentences is a real problem I find, and this isn't just in the B5 line but across the board. To be perfectly honest this is...

Dunno. Don't recall the series being inconsistent on that particular point. I honestly can't remember where and I could be remembering wrong (it happens).

The second module in the book suffers from a distinct lack of knowledge on the behalf of the writer. The entire section set on the Hermes class ship has descriptions of players running down corridors, running all over the place and reacting as in a standard sci-fi vessel. But of course human...

Still waiting for it to arrive in the UK shops. Grrr

Friendly Local Game Store.

It is stated quite clearly by Sheridan in Points of Departures that he hit upon the idea of mining the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and that was where he managed to destroy the Black Star.
