New: Babylon 5: The Omega Fleet (free, open-ended, email, human, space, rpg, abstract) From: lindahl@pbm.com (Greg Lindahl) Date: Sat, 14 Apr 2001 19:13:00 +0000 Name: Babylon 5: The Omega Fleet Email: jaqul_katoth@hotmail.com Frequency: Minimum of once every 2 weeks, but as often as possible. Type: Babylon 5 Science Fiction RPG URL: http://omegafleet.cjb.net Costs: Free Last-Update: 2001Mar23 Keywords: free, open-ended, email, human, space, rpg, abstract Description: Babylon 5: The Omega Fleet is the Official RPG of The Omega Fleet Website. The game takes place in the universe that J. Michael Straczynski created with his two television series: Babylon 5 and Crusade. The current RPG year is 2264, two years after the beginning of Season 5 of Babylon 5 and 3 years prior to Crusade. All that is needed to the play the game is a general knowledge of Babylon 5 and a vivid imagination. Each "turn" is simply a player's short story acting and reacting to events that occur by both the GM (Game Master) and other crew members. We currently have two ships and will comission new starships as the need arises. As a new player you have the opportunity take on one of many roles: Fighter pilot, Marine Squad Leader, Chief Medical Officer, Chief Science Officer, or any other role that you can convince us would be applicable given the ships mission profile (some are militaristic, some are pure exploration and others may be humanitarian). Given the events of the television series you have the opportunity to act out a character from any of the regular races seen in Babylon 5 except the Vorlons and Shadows. Playing a Centauri will be reserved for a Centauri-only ship (given Centauri Prime's state of isolationism due to the Interstallar Alliance/Centauri War). [ This is a new entry for the PBM List.
