Mistakes in the Galactic Guide

[Greg Smith]

Oh yeah, it is indeed a very good book and I like Lizard's writing style. What's next Lizard?

I have finished Free Mars, which should be out in June, and Wars: The RPG, which is in playtest. I am currently working on Sea of Worlds, a multiversal setting which is the first thing I've done for Mongoose which is 'all mine' -- my own universe/cosmology/background/etc. (D20 rules, natch!) I believe the boxed set is scheduled for a GenCon release.

the AOG maps (Narn-Centauri War, Dilgar War, Orieni War)

Zagros' new location (as given here http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/pdf/systemmap.jpg) doesn't help with one of the problems I had with it on the AOG and CE maps - it's way too far away from Markab (mislabled as Markar on this map too it would seem ) given how quickly the Whitestar gets there from Zagros

Well, as JMS himself admitted, things in the B5 universe travel 'at the speed of plot' -- as they do in most fiction.

Thanks. I shall be looking forward to them.

Too true.

Of course it could be that the Whitestar, having Vorlon enhanced sensors can actually go off beacon relatively safely and take "short cuts" to other beacon routes in familiar parts of hyperspace.

Still, it's probably the only major beef with the map (and as I said, it's been all versions so no particular blame on Mongoose here) And it may well be topologically equivalent anyway, I haven't checked in depth...

Can't wait to get Free Mars, and I'm really looking forward to the Wars RPG as well.

Keep up the good work Lizard!

Sounds good to me!

 

[mthomason]

I'm currently waiting for next weeks new releases list to hit my mailbox

 

[Aramanthus]

Please tell us cool new stuff for B5!

 

[mthomason]

ISA Fleet box is available to UK retail next week... no other B5 releases.... no Galactic Guide

But hey, that means all the more B5 goodness to come in later weeks

 

[Aramanthus]

Looking forward to see The Galactic Guide!

Take a chess board, put 1 T#bolt on the first square, 2 on the second, etc.

[mthomason]

Now my brain is envisaging digits in exponential form...

 

[lastbesthope]

(2^64)-1 is the answer incase you hadn't figured it out.

18,446,744,073,709,600,000 T'bolts

Even at bulk discount rates, you're cheaper buying your own GG, or even buying Mongoose Publishing!
