Earth Alliance Book in

[Garet]

I went to take the trash out this morning and Earth Alliance Fact book was lying on the porch. Didn't see it when i came in from work yesterday. Now to find time at work to look at it. Looks good on a quick flip through. I ordered direct from Mongoose Since my Flgs has been having trouble getting stuff in

Just got mine, and I have to say, after flipping through all the sections and reading bits and pieces in detail, this looks every bit as awesome as I thought it was going to be, and then some.

Excellent job!

Well, after reading the Earth Alliance book last night, reading and skimming sections of it, I"m very impressed. Well done Mongoose and Bruce. I read most of it and skimmed a few sections. I can only read so many ship descriptions, country, and prestiage classes at one sitting. This really opened up the B5 universe. Since the show was B5 centric. I got a lot of ideas from reading it.

again Well done

Why does it still show Preorder on the the Mongoose B5 site if it is shipping?

Is there anything about Dust?

It has been mentioned since the Pilot.

What about Psi Corps?

Don't remember anything on dust.

What about Psi Corps?

Big section on Psi Corp.
How it got started
ships of Psi Corp.
I skimmed the Psi Corp Section reading bits and parts

What about Psi Corps?

Yes to both. Dust and a number of other drugs are covered, and more history of Psi Corps is given, along with additional goodies.

But, the training facility for telepaths is called Teeptown? Teeptown? It sounds like a daycare center! In the show, they called it the Psi Corps Academy, didn't they?

That's direct from the Psi Corps Trilogy of novels. The Psi Corps Academy is situated in Teeptown, along with most of Psi Corps training facilities on Earth.

What prestige classes are in there?

Ambassador, Combat Medic, Demolitionist, Missionary, Reporter, Scout*, Smuggler*, Sniper*, Troubleshooter*.
All the above seem good, are seemingly open to all races and are 10 levels. (although the ones with a * imho level poorly after 5th.)

Black Ops Specialist*, Bloodhound, Psi-Experiment, Teek, Black Fist.
These five are all telepath only.

All these seem to be self explanitory except Black Fist, which is a Psi-Corp Monk, very like a D&D monk actually, but cooler and wearing black ;o)

These do all seem quite well done and I would imagine theres a place for all of them in the average game.

Out of curiousity what kind of scout is it? A military one or a go out and find something like a burried shadow ship IPX one?

Well I thought my local shop ordered it (I gave them 6 ISBN's long time ago) but I guess not! I flipped through it at a different store and I was very impressed. I guess I will ring the first store first to see if they did order it, if not, then I will go buy it for this other store.
