Garibaldi's Aide?

SPOILERS FOR "THE COLD EQUATION"

On screen he is never presented as anything else but Jack iirc, but in the adventure "The Cold Equation" he is given a second name, namely Thorn. So, officer Jack Thorn it is, in my campaign, anyway. I don't know if this last name comes from any other place originally (books, JMSNews etc.).

Cudos to the writer of that fine adventure mr. Hanrahan btw. My B5-geek players never guessed that officer Thorn infact was mister shoot-you-in-the-back-Jack. :D

Cheers. I do love putting canon characters into adventures, especially if the players don't realise who they're dealing with. Hence Marcus showing up in Ragged Edge :).
 
Some people are such snobs about D20. Way I see it, it's the setting, not the system that is of primary importance.
 
I was with you right til Call of Cthulhu, SQ. Call's my all-time favorite game to run. Just point out that there's a lot of Lovecraft in B5. You could call it a crossover and just use more First One plotlines. Anything the First Ones tend to do would fall easily into Lovecraft's mythos. Though really, it's hard not to run Call if you have the players for it...

And as to the "B5 Geekess" thing, I had just the opposite thing happen. *I* was feeling like a total geek fanboy, but my players are, if anything, more into B5 than I am sometimes. Which I thought was impossible. So I'm lucky. Here's hoping I can keep them interested over the long run.
 
I must say CoC is my other fav setting. I'm in a great "Silent Service" campaign, modern-day British secret service with the mythos.
 
Or you could use the Thirdspace-aliens in some way or another, since they were made with the Lovecraft mythos in mind.

Then there would come something good out of that movie too... :wink:

Amen - mechanics are how you resolve stuff no more....hence why so many other milieu have been adapted to the D20 system, or equally to other systems like D6, BRP etc etc. Generally, if you write stuff well enough, you should have something playable under whichever system you choose. OK there are exceptions or preferable systems for a given play style but they are secondary to good world building and in depth adventure module writing.
