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.
