Even playing a Romulan would have been easier, as at least we know what they look like and how they behave.<br/><br/>You might just as well choose to play a Breen, or, for that matter, a Vorlon in a Babylon 5 story.<br/><br/>Hmm... Has anyone ever tried running a B5 game?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I've played in a couple B5 games before (not on E, though), and I've even tried my hand at playing a Vorlon.<br/><br/>In cases like that, the player actually has a bit of freedom to 'fill in the blanks'. While this can be 'freeing' in some ways, it can also be a challenge. Most GM's will be looking hard at how you 'fill in the blanks', and it really needs to be reasonable and well thought-out.<br/><br/>When I saw Kimera mention they were playing a Tholian... I admit I kinda when, "Hmmmmm????" myself, but have been interested in seeing how that player portrays them. I would think it would be even more difficult to play a Tholian than a Vorlon, and as you implied, that's saying a lot.<br/><br/>-ark
