Anyone know which B5 2nd Ed. supplements have new feats in (not that it's much use to me now getting hold of them). Any Signs and Portents I should check out? I'm looking mainly for general use feats rather than any specific to a particular race.

Of the telepaths that were in the series, only Lyta would have been likely to have been invited, and she is supposed to (highlight for spoilers) have died in the Telepath War (along with Lennier). Can't recall where I got that info from, try the archives of JMS quotes or the Lurker's Guide page...

Well, if anyone's interested in continuing the dream, I've got a play-by-post game running over on ENWorld, using the 2nd Ed. d20 rules. It's set in the Crusade era, following the adventures of a group of ISA agents as they join the search for a cure to the Drakh Plague (the Excalibur is not...

Never mind, found it at last. #47.

Can anyone point me to the stats for the alien races omitted from Heroes and Aliens (like the Yolu)? I think I saw them in an issue of Signs and Portents, but don't remember where. Ta!

Definitely one in "Revelations". I recall there was some speculation on rastb5 back in the day that the 3-pronged jump gates were older, part of the system put in place by some First One race, and that the four-pronged were built by the younger races. Based on pretty much no basis whatsoever...

What's happening with the PDF versions? Are you going to keep them onsale with the "OGL overdub" option provided by OBS, or remove them from the vending websites?

Thanks folks. I've checked the VEX before and it has no Grome information, and TKO is about the only show where one gets any screen tome (but other than that example being belligerent I get no other data). That ITF site was interesting, and I've never seen that before. Any thoughts on crunch...

Are there any sources concerning the Grome (lumpy-faced aliens) anywhere? Either fluff or some crunchy details? Saves me having to think... Cheers!

Hi all, I'm starting up a play-by-post game on the ENWorld forums, for 1st level B5 characters (2nd Ed.), set during the Crusade era. For more details, follow the link: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=4233394 Cheers, Simon

Oh yes, I'd forgotton that one. In game terms, though, I'd say that was more a use of the Intimidate skill than Base Attack Bonus :wink:

I'm intrigued. My memory is of Max (I assume this being the Xenoarch in question) being something of a wimp in combat (cowering in the corner in Memory of War, being rescued by Dureena in Ruling from the Tomb). What was the reference?

As for Lankhmar suiting RuneQuest - for years I ran a campaign set in Nehwon using the RQ3 rules (it was actually a sort of mash-up of pure Lanhkmar with some Gloranthan elements mixed in). I can tell you that it works very, *very* well. Far better than the hash-job that they had to do for 1st...
