The Gamer's Guide to Babylon
5 is an illustrated writeup of Babylon 5 (the space station) for use as
a sourcebook for roleplaying games. It is a full-color Adobe Acrobat
.PDF file. And, it's free!
NOTE: This guide is an unofficial
and unauthorized resource intended for use with role-playing games.
It is based on information from other published sources, as well
as my own conjecture. No input was received from any official
source, nor to my knowledge has input been solicited from any official
source.
THIS GUIDE MAY NOT BE SOLD
OR REPUBLISHED ELECTRONICALLY OR IN ANY OTHER FORM. PERIOD.
IF YOU SEE THIS GUIDE BEING OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEASE CONTACT
ME.
What I'm shooting for is a nice sourcebook for the station
itself that people can use with the RPG of their choice. The Gamer's
Guide currently includes floor plans of most of the important places
in the station (with more to come), as well as descriptions and flavor
text. There is also discussion of the basic facilities of the
station (communications, BabCom, StellarCom, alternate atmospheres,
etc.), as well as important features of nearby space (Epsilon 3, the jumpgate,
etc.).
For a sample of the quality of the illustrations, check out
this diagram of the station layout:
Because of the sheer amount of work involved, I've had to
limit myself to covering only the station itself in order to ever get
something finished. So, this guide does not cover the entire B5 universe,
nor its races, or history, or ships, just the station. If I cover
the rest, it will be in different guidebooks later on.
I always appreciate feedback, so if you like what I've done,
or have any suggestions, let me
know
