Hi guys,

Well, the news of the new Babylon 5 roleplaying game has certainly
generated a lot of interest. We have all sorts of previews planned 
for you
chaps on the run up the game's release at the end of May (it really 
isn't
that long to wait!) but there have been a lot of questions raised 
about
support for the game. Well, the Mongoose is not about to let you down 
over
something as good as Babylon 5! Here is a sneak peek of what we have
coming up over the next few months - this may be subject to some 
change.
Books may get juggled about but you can be sure of at least one 
release
per month this year for this game.

MAY
Babylon 5 Roleplaying Game Main Rulebook
A full chapter by chapter preview of this is on its way!

The Fiery Trial
We arer not doing scenarios or campaigns for Babylon 5 - instead, you 
will
see entire story arcs released from Mongoose, complete campaign 
building
blocks ready to be inserted into your own games. The Fiery Trial is a 
128
page full colour story arc, written by Bruce Graw, that sees the 
players
start on the Babylon 5 diplomatic station befiore being thrust into 
events
that span the entire galaxy, shaking every major government.

JUNE
The Coming of Shadows
Detailing the events, characters and locations of the Earth year 2259 
in
exquisite detail, The Coming of Shadows brings a new commander to 
Babylon
5, new equipment to your games and rules additions that are 
immediatly
useable with the main rulebook - including the technomage!

JULY
The Earth Alliance
A big, fat 200 page hardback (full colour again) also written by 
Bruce
Graw, The Earth Alliance is _the_ definitive work on humanity of the 
23rd
Century. Earth, Mars and the colony worlds are fully detailed and 
mapped,
making them living, breathing places ready to be explored by players. 
The
full history of the Psi Corps is also included, along with many new 
rules
for human characters, including new prestige classes, telepathic 
abilities
and the entire EarthForce fleet and ground forces.

AUGUST
The Minbari Federation
Doing for the Minbari what the last book did for humans! This tome is
currently being written by August Hahn and at the moment it is an 
open
question whether it will 'merely' be a 128 page full colour 
supplement, or
a 200 page hardback encyclopaedia on all things Minbari. I know what 
I
want it to be, but we'll have to see what source material August digs 
up.
However, this book captures our aim of portraying absolutely 
everything in
the Babylon 5 universe, leaving no stone unturned. It is our 
intention to
make this _the_ most complete licence in the roleplaying market - JMS 
has
given us all the tools, now we just need to see it to fruition!

SEPTEMBER
Point of No Return
Players at the end of 2259 may begin to believe they know exactly 
where
the galaxy is headed - this sourcebook, covering the Earth year 2260, 
will
demonstrate thatm, wherever they are, their troubles are only just
beginning! Packed full of new rules and in depth source material, 
Point of
No Return heralds the beginning of major changes in the Babylon 5 
story.

OCTOBER
The Centauri Republic 
I have a feeling that many people will be interested in this one - 
I'll
certainly be running an entire campaign based on it! This sourcebook 
will
cover everything anyone could ever know about the loud, brash and 
scheming
Centauri, including details on how to run campaigns featuring the 
noble
houses, charting the players' rising stars within the Republic.

NOVEMBER
The Narn Regime
As with the Centauri and Minbari sourcebooks, we are still trying to
gauge whether this will be a 128 page supplement or 200 page hardback 
-
either way, it will contain the entire history of the Narn, their 
weapons
and technology, colonies, questions of belief and, of course, 
detailed
excerpts from the Book of G'Quan.

After this we have many more titles in the works fopr Babylon 5 fans,
though they have yet to be solidly placed in the release schedule - 
the
(what will be) long-awaited Shadows & Vorlons sourcebook (including, 
yes,
Shadow and Vorlon Agents if you are interested in high-powered gaming 
and
drama in the galaxy), Free Traders, Technomages, the League of Non-
Aligned
Worlds, more Story Arcs, more Earth Years (season books, as we call 
them),
a sourcebook covering Crusade and the years inbetween, and oodles 
more!

Should be enough for the first 12 months or so!
