Aroooo Posted June 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 Web Site Update I've posted an update to the B5 site: Activated the link to the Psionics Section! (Still need to work on the latent telepath section though.) Added the Asimov Luxury Liner. Updated the Icarus and Skylark writeups with some missing skills/programs/systems. Updated the rest of the ships (nothing new, just sorted the skills and program listings.) I want to finish up the fighters section with the Drazi fighter (I'll leave the fighters of the Older Races for much later), then its off to the capital ships!

Aroooo Posted June 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 Small Update I've added the Drazi Fighter, and the Tonka Construction Fury to the ships list. Aroooo http://www.aroooo.com/rpg_stuff/b5/ships.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolgroth Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 Originally posted by Aroooo Wow! I'm flattered. Aroooo, you have really done a lot of hard work on this conversion. It has, thus far, been a pleasure to hop on over to the site and monitor the progress. Not only that, but you have been open to constructive criticism. That's not easy when you do put a lot of effort into something. I only hope to use the conversion in a game someday. By the way, how did your correspondence with the B5 Technical Manual webmaster go? It would be really good to see pictures to go with the stats. Anyways, good job. Keep up the good work. I believe you're starting to get an honest to goodness fanbase.

Aroooo Posted June 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Thanks for the nice words! I actually have not gotten any official word from the B5 Tech Manual creator on permission to use/link to his graphics. I suspect that he's still in a little shell shock - he's been having a horrible time lately with someone in the UK hyjacking his stuff without permission. So, I have not been too pressed to press him for another person to borrow his work. For now I'm going to let dogs lay and work with him more as I get ready to do the PDF.

Aroooo Posted June 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2003 Not an update, but fun anyway While I finish up a sample character or two this weekend, my group found a really cool web site that answers the eternal gamer question: Which is the better starship? http://www.spacebattles.com contains loads of fan created movies of all your classic SciFi ships duking it out. Its old, but really cool. (Most of the files are AVI, coded with the Indeo codec, so Mac OSX users will have problems with the video. We're working on converting them to plain quicktime should anyone be interested in that format.) Aroooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechnoGothic Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 great stuff Aroo.... You just helped me out tremendiously indeed, with all the work youve put into this... That and i'm still new to Hero doesnt help me out trying to figure these things out as quickly as you guys can. But from seeing this, it shows me, how things can be done right...and accurately... i was working on the Psi-Corp idea, and boy was i not figuring these things out, like you did... i'm starting to believe Hero is too cruchy for me....alot of work when creating characters, ect...but After Character creation, things are easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will only take you a matter of a short time till you get the hang of the system. Once you're there, the crunchyness gets easy. There are some good threads on the Hero System Discussion section for new Players/GMs. Worth the read. Aroooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aroooo Posted July 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 New Character Jobou Wulao, Centauri Merchant (and spy) has been added to the sample character section.

MarkusDark Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 I wish I was in DC... Or even in the Tri-State area. I'd make it a point to find a way to get to your game, Aroooo. I love B5 and your site rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aroooo Posted July 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Running at cons? I wonder what the legal issues would be in trying to run a B5 Hero game at a big con like Gen-Con or Origins? Aroooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally posted by Aroooo I wonder what the legal issues would be in trying to run a B5 Hero game at a big con like Gen-Con or Origins? I do not think there are any legal issues at all. I have seen plenty of Avengers/X-Men/JLA Hero games at cons. I think Derek runs a Super Friends adventure at a con. As long as you are not trying to bill it as an "official" B5 event there should be no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Staczynski, the creator of B5 -- is very approachable on the internet and he has been for years, ever since the pilot of B5. Well, back then you had to be on CompuServe. His email address is jmsatb5@aol.com You can also post on his moderated B5 USENET newsgroup: rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aroooo http://www.aroooo.com/rpg_stuff/b5/index.php So, I just finished watching first season of B5, after seeing Aroooo's website. (Well, only the first 20 episodes, not the last two.) Question: In what season does Centauri genitalia get discussed? That seems a little.... weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Lando is showing Lineer a model of a god/goddess and explaining how it is 'anatomically correct'. If you think that the discussion is wierd - wait until you see how Lando uses it/them to cheat at poker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Arrooo, I have one question as to your write up of the Centauri. According to the write up the male (uh) organs can lift as much as the character's arms. I always thought that they should be limited to the amount of str that can be applied. Remember, Londo had trouble getting his (uhhh) organ out from under the pitcher. Possibly add can only use up to 2 kgs Str wth organs (-?) to reduce cost? TimS. I otherwise find everything to begreatly written up, and better in many ways to my own stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I otherwise find everything to begreatly written up, and better in many ways to my own stuff. That's a good point. I'll add that in. From the poker 'incident' I was looking at it from the point that Londo did not want to move because the pitcher would tip over, thus his cheating be discovered. But the less STR is a good obsvervation. And thanks for the nice words! Aroooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
