Although it mentions some things and places that appeared later in the series, the default year in the Station Guide is 2257, when Sinclair commanded B5.

When I was drawing out the several score of rough draft maps, I didn't do C&C since it had already been mapped and printed in the 1E rules and I didn't see the point in drawing it again (the 2E rules weren't printed yet - I didn't know if it would appear there or not). I did put in a note...

The first three were destroyed before completion.

I'd like to add to this excellent illustration the sense of gnawing dread when submitting a manuscript for something like B5 or Conan (or RQ, for that matter) that you've missed some tiny, minute bit of canon tucked away in a dusty corner somewhere that will utterly invalidate half of what...

Well, I'm not sure what you mean specifically, but I'll do my best to answer anyway. Yes, it does have corridors marked on the maps, but not with any great level of detail. Most decks are mapped out, and you can see the grid of corridors criss-crossing the deck ... but if you mean detailed maps...

Yes they do.

Hey Nick - glad you liked it. :)

I put in my vote for elf (the ordinary PHB high elf), but I'm kinda split between them and humans. Sometimes I'll even pick a dwarf. But elves and dwarves are the only two nonhuman races I'll play (in standard D&D), as they're the only two I feel are sufficiently fleshed out - albeit in 3rd...

The Station Guide contains a page or two of the information from the Zocalo book, but does not specifically address weapon permits.

Sorry, should have been explicit myself in my reply (see above about typing it out three times). As we know, parts of Grey were never finished due to budget cuts. The sector has a number of unfinished decks (which I arbitrarily placed near the outside of the station), in addition to 22 useful...

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I appreciate it.

Just glad I was able to post that time - I actually wrote out that reply three times. The first two times I had a sudden power hiccup that killed my connection. I figured if it happened a third time I just wasn't meant to respond. :)

Hmmm. Yeah, that's my bad. I think I was writing that part around 3 a.m., with a little too much caffeine and nicotine in my blood, and was looking at the wrong chart (probably the Size Modifier table under 'Attack'). The correct ship size should be Medium - cargo shuttles and free traders. It...

:takes extravagant bow:

Actually, in AH's RQ III, critical hits did max weapon damage and ignored armor. If it was an impaling weapon, like a spear or an arrow, it did double max weapon damage and still ignored armor. Such a hit to the head, chest or abdomen was pretty much an automatic death sentence.
