Babylon 5

Some stuff on New Vegas which is interesting to know

The three mega-hotels are all located in a sub-dome (which allows them to control even the sky around them instead of their customers seeing the New Vegas advertisement sky), which makes them fairly easy to spot.

The Monument:

This complex consists of a hotel/casino shaped roughly like a human head in proﬁ le, surrounded by smaller...

What Happens in New Vegas - #2. Welcome to New Vegas

feeds@yuku.com (NS Maestro) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 20:07:54 GMT

Despite the fact that the Psi Corps Syria Planum facility does not, on any official map, have a tube connection to any of the normal domes, you arrive in the Dome that Never Sleeps without taking a single shuttle.

New Vegas certainly makes an impression on those of you who haven't been here before - New Vegas was modelled on Las Vegas in the Nevada desert on Earth, as it was in its peak during the early 21st century, before the Neo-Puritan era. The Martian sky isn't...

What Happens in New Vegas - #1. Briefing

"Gentlemen, ladies, you've done well on your final training. So well, in fact, that we're going to send you to the New Vegas dome for a two week vacation. At least, that'll be the official reason you're there. We've got a situation developing there, and it's been decided that it'll make a good first mission for your team. Meet Calan Kodiro."

A picture of a youngish Centauri appears on the room's viewing screen. "House Kodiro, which...

It's July 2259. As far as the B5 timeline goes, that's about the time that President Santiago's physician showed up on B5.

Your situation is a bit different. You've done well, been promoted, gotten independent.

Proxima: an undercover investigator into the underground railroad for blips turned up dead. A Psi Cop went in to handle the situation. He turned up dead. Your turn.

You have two informants you can make use of, plus the pro-Earth groups...

Prestige Classes

feeds@yuku.com (Sancho Day) — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 20:36:36 GMT

There are three prestige classes that might make sense for characters in this campaign. Psi Cop,Fence, and True Seeker. Only Darcy qualifies for the first because of her P-rating. The fence is harder for any member of Psi Corps to acquire, but I'll post the details on it any way. The True Seeker requires being very holy. I'll post it as it is remotely possible someone will want to be one at some point. The others: Shadow Agent, Terrorist, and Thenta Makur Assassin don't apply...

B5: Points of Departure

feeds@yuku.com (Sancho Day) — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 02:10:14 GMT

It is 5 days after President Santiago died in an accident aboard Earthforce 1. You are all at a secret Psi Corps facility on Mars and have been there for the past several days. Some of you may have been there longer. You were assembled into the team that you are all a part of several months ago. Since that time, other than for free time or other duties, you've been training to be a team.

OOC: You still get a lot of freedom to do what you want. Also, while here, you can...

You are a special operations team that is part of Psi Corps. Your boss is Gil Severn, a Psi Cop. Your job varies depending on the situation. You are one of the few groups in Psi Corps that is authorized to 'go white'. That is, you have alternate identities that aren't members of psi corps and don't wear the uniform or the glove. When going white you're not supposed to use telepathic abilities except when absolutely necessary and when undetectable by other telepaths or...

Rewards

feeds@yuku.com (Sancho Day) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 02:37:07 GMT

There are two types of rewards in the B5 rpg. They are Influence and Experience. Yes, I can give you money and equipment. Those are just things and not all that spiffy. No +5 Narn Battle Armor of PPG resistance is forthcoming. The best you can get is +2 Narn Battle Armor from the exceptionally well made quality. Money and stuff will happen, but it's not like D"&D.

Personal Combat

feeds@yuku.com (Sancho Day) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 01:04:24 GMT

This is much like D&D, with a few differences.

Attacks
Natural 1 on d20 always misses.
Natural 20 on d20 always hits.

Attack Bonus

Close Combat Weapon: BAB + STR modifier + size modifier + miscellaneous modifiers
Personal Ranged Weapon: BAB + DEX modifier + size modifier + range penalty + miscellaneous modifiers

Equipment, Services, Quality, and Lifestyle

feeds@yuku.com (Sancho Day) — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 23:17:01 GMT

This is just starting equipment. Psi Corps uniforms and badges are free. Everything else comes out of your starting credits.
Services are the use of a person's skills on your behalf.
Quality can provide bonuses or impose penalties if you want to pay for it or have to be cheap.
Lifestyle costs determine how well you wish to live. These generalize a character's living expenses. Psi Corps provides you with room and board, clothing, and mission gear. They want it back when...

William "Billy" Jackson (P10)

Concept
Billy joined EarthForce after the Minbari war, having been too young to fight before it was over. He doesn't buy the official explanation of the surrender and his goal is to find out what happened. He was on an outpost that was attacked by raiders and the stress of that event triggered his telepathic abilities. He was forced to leave the...

Psi Corps Campaign Character Creation extras

feeds@yuku.com (Sancho Day) — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 22:04:46 GMT

Your P-Ratings are all from 8 to 12. You do not have to blow an extra feat to get the higher P-Ratings. How I determined your P-Ratings: (2d4-2) + 6. If no one is a P12, I raise everyone's score by the amount it takes to make the character(s) with the highest score a P12. If someone isn't a P8 after that, I raise their score until they're a P8. Sorry, you can not all be P12s.

JDoraime: P10
Kadh2000: P10
NS Maestro: P11
