2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty cover, useful charts, but the book within is filler., December 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Babylon Project Gamemaster's Resource Kit: A Supplement for the Roleplaying Game, Based on Babylon 5 (Paperback)

Maybe I was expecting too much from this product. I admit the gamemaster's screen is very handy. Having all the charts available in one place is critical, in the core sourcebook I find it hard to find what I need. And the painting on the front is certainly beautifully done. The information pack within was not as good as I was hoping for. It would help if the pack made it clear where the planets discussed were on the map. The main thing that I found helpful for my game was the stats for the Explorer Class starship, and a timeline for the Explorer project.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full color GM's screen with all the charts and more., July 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Babylon Project Gamemaster's Resource Kit: A Supplement for the Roleplaying Game, Based on Babylon 5 (Paperback)

Beyond the value of having a cool looking GM's screen, and beyond the value of having all those nifty little charts on the back, you'll get an extra packet of info inside the shrinkwrap.

This packet contains extra information on the various major races' political stances. (except the Vorlon's, of course!) It also gives a few more hints about the raiders and (in a couple of loose leaves) standard icons, logos, and fonts for Earthforce and the Babylon project, as well as icons for all the major races (including the Vorlons!)

Oh yes, it is also prone to come with a dinky card to try and get you hooked on the _Babylon_5_ card game. I use mine as a bookmark.

You've already spent too much, give in. Buy this too.
