Chameleon Eclectic to Release Babylon 5 Roleplaying Game 03/04/96

Chameleon Eclectic Entertainment, Inc., in association with WireFrame Productions, Inc., Babylonian Productions, and Warner Bros. Worldwide Publishing, announced today the upcoming release of The Babylon Project, a roleplaying game based on the groundbreaking Warner Bros. science fiction television program Babylon 5. The Babylon Project will be released this fall.

Babylon 5 has an audience of almost six million gamers and science fiction fans. It features a richly-detailed background and an intricate, ongoing storyline. The roleplaying game focuses on a time period shortly before that detailed in the main Babylon 5 story. Players take up the roles of humans or aliens in the tense period following the Earth-Minbari war leading up to the emergence of the Shadows and the Narn-Centauri war detailed in the television program.

"This is a really exciting project for us," said Chameleon Eclectic president Charles Ryan. "With a cohesive, detailed, and intricate background, the Babylon 5 universe has incredible gaming potential, and the show has an enormous following. It's probably the most eagerly-anticipated licensed roleplaying game ever." WireFrame Productions, Inc. has been awarded the roleplaying game license for The Babylon Project by Warner Bros. Worldwide Publishing. WireFrame will be creating the game and related material for co-publication with Chameleon Eclectic. "This is a project which is long awaited, and one that we're very excited about," said WireFrame president Joseph Cochran. "The Babylon 5 story is set in a richly detailed epic universe, borrowing from myth and history to create an exciting world. We're very happy to be working with all of the people at Warner Bros. and Babylonian Productions to translate this world to the roleplaying setting."

The Babylon Project will launch with the release of the main game book and The Earthforce Sourcebook, first in a line of sourcebooks and supplements, in early fall 1996. These products will quickly be followed by two more-- the Earth Colonies Sourcebook and the Game Resource Kit--before the end of the year. Additional sourcebooks, adventures, and supplements will follow.
