The '''''Babylon 5 Roleplaying Game''''' is a role-playing game published by Mongoose Publishing in 2003.

==Description== The ''Babylon 5 Roleplaying Game'' is based on the ''Babylon 5'' TV series. The game's mechanic is the d20 System published by Wizards of the Coast with character classes and races specific to the setting. Characters have a low number of hit points meaning that they can die very easily, in keeping with the show.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Babylon 5 Roleplaying Game: Review |url=http://www.revolutionsf.com/article.php?id=2627|year=2005|author=Matt Cowger|website=Revolution SF|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181215122359/http://www.revolutionsf.com/article.php?id=2627 |archive-date=15 December 2018}}</ref>
