My brother and I are huge fans of Stargate: SG1 and Stargate: Atlantis (not so much with Stargate: Universe).  We'd love to play a game based on the stargate concept whereby human's on earth discover a stargate and a military exploration unit is created to explore strange new worlds.

We'd like the rules system used to be star wars saga edition, where all the species within the rpg become possible races found at different stargate destinations.

We'd like a party of 5-6 13th level characters (13th level as a minimum, though if a prospective GM would entertain a higher level, we certainly wouldn't object). We would like the party to consist of at least 1 noble, 1 scoundrel, 1 scout, 1 soldier and 1 Technician (using the homebrewed class showing on the swse wiki page). NOTE: I intend to play the Technician, my brother intends to play the scoundrel.

We don't want the force being a part of this game at all (instead of force points: fate points - same function, different name), so no jedi, no force adepts, no use the force skill, no lightsabers, etc).  We also don't want the 'star wars' universe/canon to exist either.  Just using the races and planets thus giving the GM the creative license to do with them as desired (droids can exist but not as player's characters, perhaps one of the planets explored is a droid planet, and an army/armada of droids could be a major villain; and SW weapons are fine, assume Earth is slightly more technologically advanced than in the TV series).

This creates opportunity for multiple short campaigns (each being a trip to a specific stargate coordinate) with possibly/hopefully an over-arching storyline that would have our characters saving the earth.

Given that they are to be 'earth saving' characters, we'd like a stat array of 18,16,14,12,10,8 for all players to be assigned as the player sees fit based on whatever character they play.

I like the idea but think the Jedi could be used. Have the “Gawds” use the Jedi role, it would allow for dark or light to be used as the player sees. I think a bit of modern slug-throws mixed with laser weapons would be great.

Nonetheless, I wanna go at this game.

Edit: If this gets off the ground I would like to fill the role of a combatant.

Perhaps in season 2 or 3 (lol) some force use by a new enemy could occur, though not sure how we compete with that without force users of our own...anything's possible I guess.

I might be up for running this. I already run a Stargate game that's based on the d20 Spycraft rules, so I figure I'm already halfway there. And since you've specified the character gen rules already, that's pretty much the other half.

I've already got an idea for the game, so I just need to work out a few more details.

It was the 13th level characters that were concerning me. Hopefully, they won't be too bad.

So, some questions and suggestions for clarity.

1. As 13th levels, is this representing prior career experiences, or do the characters already have some stargate experience?

2. If the game is based out of the Alpha Site, some of the alien species could be PCs. Is that something you could work with?

3. Are there Goa'uld? Vuuzhan Vong as the replacement for them?

4. I'm thinking that the rest of the galaxy doesn't know that Earth exists... yet. So the SG Team will start out as explorers, and them become something else as necessary.

Well met, StarMaster, and Merry Christmas :)

Your questions were:

1. As 13th levels, is this representing prior career experiences, or do the characters already have some stargate experience?

   - My intent was for the stargate to have just been found (recently at least) and these characters being the initial team.  The level 13 would be commensurate with their previous military or civilian careers that got them selected for the team.

2. If the game is based out of the Alpha Site, some of the alien species could be PCs. Is that something you could work with?

   - given the response to the last question, this would not be the Alpha Site.  My intent was for all of the character's to be human.

3. Are there Goa'uld? Vuuzhan Vong as the replacement for them?
   - I would think the Vuuzhan Vong would be the best Goa'uld replacement from the SW universe.

4. I'm thinking that the rest of the galaxy doesn't know that Earth exists... yet. So the SG Team will start out as explorers, and them become something else as necessary.
   - This works for me.

---

All that having been said, I have expressed my 'intent' in response to the first 2 questions.  If you have ideas that don't conform to my expressed intent, I'm flexible to those points.

I'm fine with all that.

Just as Teal'c joined the team, I suppose somewhere down the line an alien could join the team.

Just need to hammer out a few details since the backdrop is a bit different. Should have something to go this weekend.

Have you played the Stargate SG1 RPG? It has some interesting takes on things, such as equipment qualities.

Is it necessary to post weapons stats?

This thread is closed as a GM for this game has been found.

Happy New Year to all! :)
