[Stan · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting take on the OGL rule set to make it work in the Babylon 5 setting. Combat will be much more dangerous than players of other d20 systems will be used to and influence, political and otherwise will be more of a factor than in other games. A really well done take on the Babylon 5 universe and worth a look.

Another interesting d20 game we can thank the OGL for. No idea how it plays or what Mongoose produced to support it, but it's a well-made book (Mongoose quality is reliable, in my admittedly limited experience) and I enjoyed the content (I dislike the term "fluff").
