Since there is no 'official' ration of hyperspace->realspace distance, your 'gut feeling' for how big Known Space is is as good as mine, but consider this -- there are an estimated 14,000 stars within 100 light years of earth. (I know that's bigger than a hundred LY diameter bubble, but still)...

JMS is a great writer. However, his main concern was in telling a story, not building a universe. The TV show was notoriously inconsistent about the size of the galaxy, the speed of travel, etc -- JMS said his ships travel "at the speed of plot". Despite the graphics in the war room on the show...

Heh. While I wasn't consciously thinking of AC when I was writing Wars, it is, in fact, one of my all-time favorite games, and I'm still playing it regularly seven years after it came out...

I got: A box of cards The URL of the online fiction Some early design docs And access to some of the developers for some questions ("What do they use for money?" "Is this kind of technology feasible?", etc) I didn't get any s3kr1t data. Maybe Greg did.

I had a major hard drive crash this weekend, so my original files are digital vapor (ouch), but, IIRC, the Engineer's Kit was intended to give characters starting as Engineers a custom toolkit of special tools, devices, etc, which would grant a +1 bonus to all Technical-type skill checks, going...

Nor should they be. :) One of my goals in designing the Kizen system was not to make Wars into a superhero game, where the characters were de facto defined by their powers. Thus, the core classes are (I humbly submit) cool and interesting on their own. They are the true definition of the...

If you are going OGL -- not using the D20 license -- you CAN inlcude character creation and XP rules. You must write your own descriptive text, however. You can copy, change, fold, spindle, mutiliate ANY Open Gaming Content as you wish. The rule is that anything derived from open content must...

I drew from the AEG material, as did the Centauri Fact Book.

By the Crusade era, though, Psi-Corps reforms do allow Teeps in Eathforce, IIRC.

That would be Free Mars. 128 pages on one world (and 2 tiny moons).

Just a quick comment....the CSI thing was inspired by two episodes. There was the whole 'we analyzed their retinas to determine what kind of weapons blew their ship apart' bit, and the scene in Learning Curve where Zack talks about how the lack of blood shows the body was moved. It's also the...

The Mars book was finished a while ago. There's a long editing/approval process on most B5 books.

Affirmative on one and three. Two is up to the art and layout department.

Given the food situation on Mars, that would most likely be Neospoo, Soyspoo, or Spu. :)

Yes. Mars Dome One, New Vegas and Slimtown are detailed. So are several minor domes. Day-to-day life on Mars is discussed, from tube schedules to the size of a typical apartment. (Small) Life before and after the Clark years. The structure of the Resistance. Etc, etc, etc. Basically, anything...
