Cut, pick up "The Drakh" if you haven't already.

 

[mthomason]

Drakh is a nice book. If you don't have the Galactic Guide thats a nice one to take away with a pad of paper and start writing notes with.

If you're okay with non-B5 stuff then the try The Road of Kings for Conan, it makes a very nice "reading" book

I don't have the Drakh and will look into it. Actually don't have that much B5 books so far: Corebook, Minbari and Coming of Shadows, though plans are to get all the season sourcebooks. Perhaps one or two of those will go along for the ride.
I'm getting back to Babylon 5 for sure this fall so please advice me on good books in the line (and yes, I know I shlould probably plan on getting me a 2nd edition rule book).

About Conan: I am a little bit afraid to look into Conan. I can't afford yet another great line to persue in honest. :twisted:

Naming just Mongoose RPG stuff I'm into LoneWolf (still missing stuff). Babylon 5 (definately missing stuff - too many choices out there) and now RuneQuest. I just don't have the time for another great line... (although I'm sure that due to your advice I'll browse the Conan section later anyway )

Keep the ideas coming, it's still quite some time before I have to order in order to recieve the book(s) before I leave

Good B5 RPG books:

The Rangers
Psi Corps
Crusade

Those are among the best ones IMHO

The Rangers sounds interesting. Is it 2nd edition material or first?

Have to admit that I'm a bit lacking with Crusade.

 

[lastbesthope]

1st edition.

If in dount, find a picture of the book, a black cover is 1st edition, a blue cover is 2nd edition

Thanks, I'll keep the color advice in mind

 

[lastbesthope]

Well it's a pretty infallible system so far, I have all of the books, course it might not hold so well in future.

ALso, the Ship plans are somewhat of an exception, I think they're 100% fluff so they are compatible with both editions straight away.

Most probably true

I'd add Darkness & Light to LBH's list - it is a great book if you want to know what the "Big Boys & Girls of B5" were up to in the last few million years. Plus there lots of new toys to confuse your players with, and good few story hooks (and a scenario) to get you started.

I'll echo Chernobyl & others - Drakh is another good book for plot ideas and what is going on in the Crusade era.

I have to confess: I didn't watch Crusade yet. I have seen the Babylon 5 movie that started Crusade off, but have yet to get the series on DVD.

I'll take Darkness & Light under advisement as well

So this poll thing I started has been quiet for some time: Looking through Mongoose Publications I found this gem: The Book of Dragons! (http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/d20/detail.php?qsID=203&qsSeries=14)

I'm very much into fantasy right now. So, is this one any good?
