Any idea when the PDF will be available for purchase? Thanks, Matt

Reading through the history and editing and finishing the Pixia weapons illustrations. The history fluff that made sense when I wrote it didn't make nearly as much sense when I had the units done, so I dumped it and rewrote it. it's coming, honestly! Matt

Keeping in mind that I A) actually have to finish the bloody thing (although I was editing it this weekend), B)have the nice folks at Mongoose accept it as not completely crap, and C) not have to revise it to work with what the PTB are looking for then yes, it has a fairly fleshed out history...

Oh yeah, Bureau 13 has about a third of a page. Matt

It would be nice. However, we've had a bit more than that revealed. Spoilers We've been told that the EA was agressively pursuing Shadow-tech and had multiple bases to that end. The Excalibur would be on the outs with the EA and possibly IA by the end of season 2 and be fighting a...

One of the things that makes the Orieni easier is that Jamie, Graves et al worked out a tremendous amount of backstory and structure for them that never made it into the AoG books. There are some holes but overall there's a tremendous amount of useful material to jump off of. Matt

It's all conjectural, obviously, as it's still getting kicked around but I had units from 8 different League races in the mix, with the League doing a lot of specialization and cross-coverage at the elite level. Gaim would be fascinating and I certainly have ideas for specific castes but I...

The Minbari article is about 85% done, just need to finish stats and I can submit it. Centauri is at about 40%, Narn at 25%, Orieni and League just an outline with a ton of notes. Matt

Well then, time to get my butt in gear. One of the nice things for the Orieni in particular is that they had their ground forces fairly well fleshed out by the old HRT but it never got published. Wait until you see their air transport assets for the Elite Strike forces out of the army regulars...

Out of curiosity, would anyone be interested in more special forces stuff? I worked out OOB's, unit details, and weapons/vehicles for the Minbari, Centauri, Narn, League, and Oreni when I was writing the EA Factbook Special forces section and the S&P article. I drafted articles but never got...

I picked both the Telepaths and Pak books up in Nashua, NH this past weekend. Matt

For those with interest, here are a few caps of the new Minbari cruiser and the Centauri fleet. It was nice to see the Balvarin in there, wasn't that Leo Dunin's design way back in the AoG War of retribution book? Matt http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v614/ninjrk/minbarinewcruiser4.jpg...

I wouldn't have a problem with new ships for their respective allies, especially the Shadows. However, them having more varieties of ships makes little sense to me. The ancients are way past the point of needing a combined arms or balanced fleet for conquest or defense. They have a small...

I'm not wild about the design itself but the ship certainly fills a hole in the EA fleet. The only thing that worries me about kitbash designs like this is that they have a tendency to linger. 10-20 years from now B5 games are going to have to include the thing and use the quickie design or...

Nope, it was unpublished. They came up with an entire detailed background and OOB for them, probably about 25-30 pages worth. It was pretty impressively detailed and a lot of it was used to deteermine how the Centauri fleeet developed, so many of the results became part of the Centauri fleeet...
