Babylon Five

I've only played this game once so I really don't have much of an opinion on it yet, and I don't watch the TV series often enough to know the background well. The one thing I'd like to point out though, is the funny dice mechanic. You have a base score, then roll a red and a green die. If the green die has the lowest result, add it from the base score. If the red has the lowes result, subtract it. If both are equal, do nothing. Now this looks real cute in practice, only if you look at the statistics you'll notice it has the exact same properties as just rolling two dice and subtracting seven. And the latter is a lot easier to explain (2d6 - 7).
Babylon Five is a registered trademark of somebody, but I forgot who. This will be updated shortly.
