I taped it and you've covered it, Nuke.  The question was about which actors
had
consented to appear in Lost Tales and "...is there any truth to the rumors
about
a Babylon 5 video game?"

JMS:  "We just got the greenlight on this about a week and a half ago so we
haven't gone to the actors to make deals yet. We're going to be in that process
starting about ten days from now and see who's available, what kind of deals
can
we make, who wants to do it, what the story is, that sort of thing.  So once we
have determined that, then we'll know which ones we're going to use.

For the video game thing...I can't tell you what it is because they've closed
the deal but they haven't papered the deal yet.  But there is something *huge*
in that category coming.  I was hoping I could announce it today but I can't. 
Keep an eye on the moderated newsgroup about three or four weeks from now.  If
you ever wanted to go and live on Babylon 5, you will have your chance."

I've started working on the transcript but it's 1:20 minutes long and JMS packs
a lot into the time.
