About The Stargate SG-1 Roleplaying Game
In 1928, archaeologists uncovered a massive artifact from an Egyptian site
near Giza. The huge metallic ring baffled those who found it, defying
their preconceptions and shedding Earth’s ancient past in a whole new
light. The device was called a “stargate,” a piece of alien technology
from beyond the stars. It connected to vast network of similar gates,
scattered on countless planets throughout the galaxy. With it, humanity
could travel to alien worlds as easily as walking through a door.
Seventy years later, the United States government created the Stargate
Program, designed to send teams of qualified personnel through the gate on
missions of exploration and diplomacy. Lead by Col. Jack O’Neill and SG-1,
these teams became Earth’s emissaries among the stars… as well as it first
line of defense. For among the countless planets bound by the stargate
network, an ancient menace lurked — alien parasites called the Goa’uld,
who masqueraded as gods and presumed to rule mankind with an iron fist.
The Stargate Program battled this menace with bravery and zeal, all the
while continuing to push the boundaries of human knowledge. They also
found new allies among the stars as well: benevolent aliens willing to aid
their cause, and other humans, taken from Earth millennia ago and
scattered across the galaxy like seeds. And still, their mission
continues: travelling farther than anyone could have dreamed, exploring
new worlds, and discovering a universe rife with excitement and danger.
Stargate SG-1 is a science fiction role-playing game based on the
TV show of the same name. In it, players take the role of an SG team,
elite squads of soldiers, scientists and diplomats sent through the
stargate to the alien worlds which lie beyond. There, they must contend
with exotic technology, hostile natives, sinister Goa’uld and wary allies,
often with only themselves and their teammates to rely on. The Stargate
SG-1 rulebook contains everything a player needs to know in order to
run an entire campaign set in the Stargate universe, including a
breakdown of the Stargate Program, details on the Goa’uld, Asgard, Tok’ra,
and various offworld human cultures, rules for creating characters of
every stripe, equipment descriptions, feats and skills, combat and other
mechanics, an overview of the first six seasons of the television show,
and stats and background materials on Col. O’Neill and the other members
of SG-1. Suitable for both beginners and experienced players, the
Stargate SG-1 role-playing game also makes a valuable resource for
fans of the show in general. Filled with full-color images and detailed
information unavailable anywhere else, this product is a must-have for
gamers and science fiction fans of all varieties!
