Bounty Hunters are a seldom welcome sight on Babylon 5. They are the heralds of turmoil and will usually attempt to apprehend their bounty irrespective of the cost. This book fully details these characters and as well as covering the most famous (and infamous) bounty hunters of the galaxy there are rules for characters to enter this class as well as providing a chapter detailing the modified equipment and spacecraft available to them. From the noble crusader hunting down intergalactic criminals to the unsavoury lurker with a reputation for distasteful methods of capture, this book will offer players a host of opportunities to play this character type.

The Rim Beyond known space, there lies the Rim. There are a million stories about what lies out there - dead worlds, alien civilisations, impossible spacecraft, unimaginable treasures - but there is only one thing that all the tales agree on, and that's the danger. Far from the well-travelled jump routes and civilised planets of the core systems, the Rim is lawless, mysterious and deadly. As the Earth Alliance pushes out towards the Rim, in search of new colony worlds, new resources and new technologies, they risk awakening the ancient powers that slumber in this dark region of space. This is a not a safe place to be. This is the Rim... the Edge of the Abyss. The Rim Sourcebook for Babylon 5 opens up a whole new section of the galaxy for adventure and exploration. From the EarthForce Explorer Corps and the corporations who are funding Humanity's expansion into this region, to many new worlds and strange new races, the Rim expands the setting of the Babylon 5 rpg into worlds only briefly glimpsed during the series.

One of the most infamous races of the Babylon 5 universe, the Pak'ma'ra are known as widespread lurkers, carrion eaters, foul-smelling yet consistently present everywhere in the galaxy. They are despised by many races due to others' views on their eating habits and hygiene, with millions of people from dozens of races refusing to know anything but their own stereotypes about the Pak'ma'ra. With this book, we hope to change that image. The Pak'ma'ra may be carrion eaters and religiously-driven invaders of privacy on a galactic scale, but they have a very in depth society and government that this book delves into. Showing the many unique processes found in the hierarchy of the Pak'ma'ra Civility, readers learn the true tenets of the Great Library of Melat and exactly why there is a massive defence fleet waiting in orbit around the Pak'ma'ra homeworld. New feats, prestige classes, and equipment that is focussed on the Pak'ma'ra's mastery of plasma technology can be found within these pages, not to mention a small collection of new starships that gives these otherwise ignored drifters an interesting new role in the Babylon 5 universe. You might just be surprised what you find. That is, if you can get past the smell.

Asked & Answered Part 1.

One of a series of detailed histories of the "Babylon 5" universe designed to appeal to fans of the TV show. This book also provides the basis for a roleplaying game for three or more players, using events and situations from the show as a backdrop.

It's true. The creator of Babylon 5 answers 5,296 fan questions covering every aspect of the show in over 100 categories in this new Babylon 5 book series. J. Michael Straczynski answered these questions as they surfaced over a period of 18 years as part of an online experiment he started in 1991 and continues to this day. This makes Asked & Answered something that has never been done before with a television show: an oral history IN REAL TIME. No revisionism. Nothing forgotten. No detail spared. Because this dialogue with fans starts in 1991, it pre-dates the production of the Babylon 5 pilot, so you'll discover JMS' complete vision for the series, many aspects of which never made it to the screen. Even better, these questions and answers include interactions on AOL Bulletin Boards, GEnie Forums, the moderated usenet group, CIS Discussion threads and Chat Transcripts, some of which are not available in archives anywhere. In addition to Babylon 5, Asked & Answered includes JMS' responses to personal questions about his life, politics, love, religion, writing and more. These responses are grouped with a related B5 topic showing fans – for the first time – the provenance of the Babylon 5 philosophy and culture. All that plus JMS' real life stories behind the stories. To make this the ultimate source, it took 2½ years and a crew of four B5 experts – in addition to J. Michael Straczynski – to compile, categorize and edit. \————- The long-awaited Asked & Answered Part 5, the fifth and final book of the Asked & Answered series, has arrived. Packed with 1,301 questions, Part 5 has the most questions asked (and answered) of any book in the 5 book series. Picking up where Part 4 left off, Part 5's questions and answers are all related to the specifics of each episode and movie, starting with Season 2 (Season 1 was the final section of Part 4) and continuing through "The Lost Tales: Voices in the Dark."

The Earth year 2258 was set to be one of new beginnings but instead became a time of exceptional discord. The disputes between the Narn and Centauri have steadily escalated as the two age-old enemies vie for territory and influence, even as the Minbari subtly manipulate the younger races for their own nebulous ends. The Vorlons have, for the first time, appeared to other races on board the Babylon 5 diplomatic station but their motives seem convoluted and beyond the concerns of others. Even the Earth Alliance has suffered, with the seemingly accidental death of its president and a growing feeling among many that its government has become fragmented, with shadowy groups becoming increasingly self-serving, pursuing secret agendas with worrying consequences. Terrorist groups have grown increasingly daring in their activities, trying to secure freedom for worlds within the Earth Alliance or keep alien influence far from humanity. Times are growing dark for the weak and helpless, but it is also fertile ground for opportunists and heroes to leave a permanent mark on the galaxy. The Coming of Shadows is a sourcebook for the Babylon 5 roleplaying game, exploring in detail the personalities and events of 2259. Used in conjunction with Chapter 8 of the main rulebook, Signs and Portents, Games Masters can now accurately extend their campaigns and story arcs beyond 2258 to include the dramatic galaxy-shaking events detailed here. Every episode of the second season of the Babylon 5 television show is fully covered in The Coming of Shadows, along with numerous scenario and campaign hooks that will make it easy to integrate them with ongoing story arcs already unfolding in current games. As described in Chapter 9 of the main rulebook, Campaigns on Babylon 5, players can witness or even become directly involved in these events, engaging in story arcs of their own that may put them at the centre of the galaxy alongside the heroes of the television show. This sourcebook also includes the main personalities found on board Babylon 5, updated from those that appeared in the main rulebook in 2258, as well as featuring a few new faces. New rules additions, equipment and vehicles are also featured, expanding the Babylon 5 roleplaying game no matter where or when the Games Master chooses to set his story arcs and campaigns. The year 2258 set the scene for players new to the Babylon 5 roleplaying game. The Coming of Shadows will elevate games to new levels of passion and excitement as players begin to discover just who the real powers in the galaxy are. . .

The Minbari Federation has access to some of the most advanced warships in the galaxy and though the Earth/Minbari War happened more than ten years previously, the Sharlin warcruiser still holds a dread fascination for many EarthForce officers.

A truly heavyweight box set, the Narn Regime fleet comes packed with everything a budding Admiral needs to begin waging war in space.

"This book makes a significant contribution to the growing body of scholarship surrounding the participatory communities—i.e. fandoms—that surround cult television shows and films... It will cut across disciplines, finding a readership among sociologists, anthropologists, media scholars, and performance scholars, as well as among fans and lay readers." —Henry Jenkins, author of Textual Poachers: Television Fans and Participatory Culture Much of the pleasure of science fiction and fantasy stems from the genres' ability to transport fans into imaginary worlds that often feel more "real" than ordinary life. This pioneering book uses the insights of performance theory to explore how fans of the television show Babylon 5 actively immerse themselves in its imaginary environment by role-playing games and fan fiction, through which the fans perform—make real—fantasies they previously watched on television. Kurt Lancaster opens with a background analysis of Babylon 5, including creator-producer J. Michael Straczynski's online interaction with fans. Then he thoroughly examines the performance aspects of all the participatory media surrounding the show—the role-playing game, collectable card game, war game, CD-ROM "guidebook," fan fiction, and web pages. His use of performance theory offers a new way of understanding the enormous popularity of imaginary entertainment environments and the fandom surrounding other popular sites of science fiction and fantasy, including Star Trek, Star Wars, and J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth.
