Coming late to the party - and ye gods and little fishes, has it really been that long since I last posted here? (Other than one or two about Spam....) I would be quite happy to see several of the old D20/OGL books converted - the Quintessentals, and at least two of the Classic Play Books (Book...

Or possibly Modern, which I am coming to like as I try it out. The Auld Grump

Thank you! :D I really did not want this to seem like an attack, but the fact that I was leaving one of the most important parts out of my B5 scenarios rather than use the system was bothering me. The Auld Grump, and yes vectored movement would have been more precise...

First off, I really do like the B5 RPG. I want to run it again sometime soon (after my OGL Steampunk game and the Iron Kingdoms game that comes after that). But I hate the ship combat system. Well and truly hate it - enough that I left it out of my first B5 game entirely. And will leave it out...

With a lot of modification, yes I do find it quite playable. Biggest changes: Dropped the weapons tables, and used the ones from Sorcery & Steam instead. Added the automatic weapons fire from Deadlands D20 (why there are no rules for autofire in OGL Steampunk escapes me). Added the option to...

It is interesting to see that this has been answered completely differently on another thread, by both Mongoose Bob and the original author of the game. In this case the other thread is right. Otherwise there would be no point in switching classes. Sorry Neo. The Auld Grump

Wow, so far I seem to be the only person older than 40... The Auld Grump, playing RPGs since 1975

Ship combat is the one thing about B5 RPG that I cannot stand. I want a vectored system, the show uses a vectored system. The game does not. So I avoid space combat, and tell people not to take any skills for it. The Auld Grump

Oh come on, the TSR miniatures for Conan weren't that bad... They were much, much worse! :P The Auld Grump

Up until today I had been running two OGL Steampunk games a week, today the younger group (c. 14 year olds) officially broke up in favor of World of Warcraft. They seemed to like running around blowing things up, but not focusing on the plotline. They didn't touch the Amazing Machine rules at...

Oh, I suspect that he is still at the denial stage of things. The Auld Grump, up late, and wee mool.

Cool, I haven't been to the Farmington convention in years, just a wee bit too far for an ingrained pedestrian to walk. There were some really nice folks there. The last year I went there was a guy who was A.) selling photocopies of D&D books, and B.) took a bunch of orders for books, then never...

In regards to the multiclass Artist/Thief. Hangin's too good for him. Burnin's too good for him. He oughta be chopped into little tiny pieces and buried alive! The Auld Grump

Refering to the serpent as Satan was a later addition. The poor snake was also referred to as Lilith, another Babylonian survival. Me, I suspect that the reference to a serpent was just that, a survival of the earlier form of the myth. The dismemberment (if I recall properly) was added from the...
