Anyone still playing the Stargate RPG?
TT.
My wife....my wife is a huge Stargate nerd AND a gamer. Thus, we own everything for it. Unfortunately, we don't play it. Time is factor...and the d20 rules are another. I'd love to run/play a Stargate SG-1 game, but it'd be with another rules set.
Welcome, TerribleTim!
I have just ordered the SG main rule book from a gaming warehouse. They say they can still get it from one of their suppliers. I am hoping to run a Stargate campaign mid year. There is a few people interested in playing from the local gaming club. After I have the main book, I will try and track down the rest of the books. I have my fingers crossed.
Regards,
TT.
Hey DR Rotwang, I forgot to ask if you own the Stargate board game. It is a real little "gem" ......
I was disappointed when I opened my copy and read the rules - a VERY basic game. I have never played it.
And thanks for the welcome. I should also mention that my wife is a Stargate fan but sadly a non gamer. She has watched all of SG-1 and Atlantis (but will not game....yet).
TT.
Sure thing, Tim. We skipped on the boardgame for financial reasons; now we have another reason to save our money. Thanks!
Have fun playing, and let us know how it goes with that system.
You guys could just use either the SAVAGE WORLDS or GURPS rules - and make up the rest on your own.
I thought about using the Gate's look and props for an INFINITE WORLDS campaign. Instead of different planets and solar systems - the gate network would go to different timelines and dimensions.

Would have been keen to see the d6 version of Stargate see the light of day.

There's a new version (4th edition) due out soon. Currently CD only and done for D20, but it's going to have a lot more information than the earlier editions.

If your wife were a
true Stargate fan she'd take the books and convert the setting material into some more sensible and light system!

Ease up there, chief--don't go talkin' smack on my wife! She tried converting, figured it wasn't really necessary, and says she'd rather just use
Fudge.

What is fringeworthy? I have been out of RPG for about 10 years.

Google is your friend (http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=it&rlz=&=&q=fringeworthy+rpg&btnG=Cerca+con+Google&meta=lr%3D). Fringeworthy is more than 10 years old, so you have no excuse :)
Thanks Kyle. I have now read about Fringeworthy and the story sounds simular to Stargate. Not 100% sure about the type of rule system it uses.
I am thinking about getting SpyCraft 1 or 2, instead of the Players Hand Book for level experience, feats etc. I know Stargate was written using the SpyCraft 1 rules, so that is what I am leaning towards. Anyone got any experience using Stargate with SpyCraft?
TT.
Fringeworthy's original system is pretty Palladiumy. Every time I try to discuss it, people rip the modifiers it uses for hydrostatic shock. I guess it's been dismissed, but there was a period where ballistics analysts thought there might be something called hydrostatic shock. So Tri Tac came up for a rule for it. Perfectly good idea at the time, like a lot of their rules. But they aren't exactly on the cutting edge anymore.
I don't have specific experience running StarGate with either SpyCraft, but all of my experience with SpyCraft indicates that 2nd ed is vastly superior to 1st, fwiw.
I played Fringeworthy back in the day! My Tri-Tac fav was Stalking the Night Fantastic. If you ignored half the system (like most people did with AD&D), then the game ran fine. It's very Stargate.
I have played the D20 Stargate via SpyCraft and its okay. SpyCraft 1e has much cooler feats than the 3.x PHB. If you hand-wave the tactical stuff, you can play without the battlemap and keep things cinematic. That said, there is that D6 version somewhere on the web.

Right here, in fact. (http://gameworld.thesnakefarm.com/stargatesg1.php)
Having seen a review of 'Starblazer Adventures' on the big purple, I'm tempted to pick it up in time and use it for FATE-based Stargate play. But, I'm holding out for a printed copy... it's far too large for me to comfortably read on the computer.

Ok, I have to ask. What is the big purple?

The color scheme gives it its nickname.
Thanks Kaz. I am learning new things every day.

Fringeworthy is an adventure game of exploring alternate earths and alien worlds linked by a vast network of roadways in an interdimensional space. The standard role is that of a member of an exploration team working through the United Nations to build friendly relations with other worlds while bringing back knowledge and devices to help solve Earth's problems.
this can be quite challenging with the bizarre cultures, races, and natural laws that can be on a world in another universe. Also the races that built this Fringesystem were all but destroyed by creatures called Mellor who still lurk out there.
Fringeworthy d20 has just been released. You can find more information at //www.tritacgames.com and //www.tritacgamers.com
It's not your father's Fringeworthy anymore.
Wow, cool!
Welcome aboard, Golieth, and your news about Fringeworthy is really excellent.
If you should want a Pundit review of the new game, let me know...

You
do realize that the parts written before the project's cancellation are up on the Net for download, right?

W00t! There are so few of us left.
and Terrible Tim, you should of heard of it then. It was kind of popular 10-20 years ago.
