B5 Timeline

[Faënril]

I am very confused.

I am looking for a precise B5 timeline but every websites and sourcbook have differentes informations so I do not know which is the correct ones between the B5 RPG seasons guides and for instance, this site :

http://www.chronology.org/b-five/

Someone know where I can found a precise timeline ?

What exactly are you looking for?

The dates when each episode takes place is an estimate. Very few episodes are specicifally dated, and any timeframe given within an episode is usually inexact (ie this happened a year ago doesn't mean it happened exactly 365 days ago). So any timeline is going to be largely guesswork, based on the few episode that can be dated and transmission order of the others.

Find the one that suits you best and stick to it.

I am changing my game mastering skills and I try to have a timeline where I insert the adventures I run. So I try to have an exact Timeline of the B5 events where I insert the Into the Crucible modules, and I also give some world events to my players as the campaign progress.

I have chosen to stick to this one for better or worse.

There was an official B5 tiomeline printed in the official B5 magazine a few years ago.

I do not have it and meanwhile...I have spent plenty of money to acquire all the B5 RPG season guides, perhaps I should use the date given in them...

The ones done by Virgin publishing are quite good "The Babylon Files" IIRC, I have both of those myself, even though they are unofficial season guides, I tend to look there first.

Thanks for the information pal !

I will keep to my seasons guides. At that time, my players are playing early season 2 so I will read my Coming of Shadows Mongoose sourcebook and keeps to basics. I have a tendancy to wnat to have too much details. And too much details kill the details.
