RuneQuest SG-1

Having had my nose to the grindstone (well, keyboard) over the past few weeks I've decided I need to make a little time for gaming to stop myself going completely crazy. So, I'm throwing a private online play-by-post game together right now under very loose BRP/RuneQuest rules. There could also be an (optional to attend) weekly 1-hour chat session (8PM GMT/3PM EST/Midday PST comes to mind as a good one that fits most people). If you cannot make the timeslot for the chat session it will not matter that much.

The setting is an alternate Stargate SG-1 universe, still fleshing out details in my head but most likely divergence will start at the end of S9 (so anything up until then happened just like it did on the show).

While the game will not directly follow events of Season Ten, the exploits of SG-1 themselves may or may not get mentioned depending upon what happens in the game itself - there is no set storyline and I'll pretty much be winging it upon seeing the direction the group wants to take. I cannot promise no new antagonists that make the Ori look about as threatening as Urgo, but I can say I haven't got any concrete plans for any at this time. I may also bump the storyline back (even to S1) if it looks like it'll be necessary.

Due to not wanting to give spoilers out for those outside the US, there will be no mention of actual spoiler events from S10 apart from the occasional background mention that SG-1 has gone to such-and-such a world in conjunction with what happened in an episode - so nothing really beyond what you would read in an episode synopsis in a TV guide (exact details of what constitutes a "spoiler" will depend on who plays and where they're from).

You will need to have some kind of familiarity with the basic RQ rules (the SRD or probably even knowledge of BRP will do), even though play will be "rules-light" in order to keep things moving. You will be helped through character generation by your ever-friendly GM as you'll need a few extra bits and pieces for the modern-day setting as well.

Oh, and players will be expected to post every 1-3 days.

Any takers? :)
 
Oh, and you do not need to be familiar with the show (in fact it would be an advantage if it least one player was not)
 
Yeeeeeeeeeees!

I have the (complex) Stargate rules (+others) based on Spycraft and have always thought that it would be fantastic game based on RQ. The show glosses over loads of complexity and focuses on the good things about RPG-ing....

Where will it be? On your boards?

What character in particular do you want?
 
Heh, I'm using the AEG rulebook as a sourcebook ;)

Characters can be anything that fits, but first-come first-served in the event we end up with something silly like six archaeologists. Should take about a week to get set up as I've got a lot of typing to do, but character generation rules are obviously the priority!

Yup, it'll be over on my site - just pm me an email addy and I'll get an intro email out once the rules are done explaining what is where and how and why.
 
Ho wwill character creation be resolved, as the MRQ rules aren't that specific about modern military or specialist backgrounds and so on. Will you, Matt, provide the background packs needed, will we make our own up (in a reasonable way) or do you have any other ideas? :)
 
Just posted specific character creation rules on the website :)

Still being tweaked, so please look it over and point out any problems before we finalize character creation.

Cool! Gone off, looking :)

That's cool, indeed, but is there any way we could download it, so that I could print it out? It would make character creation that much easier :)

Never mind, just copy/pasted it into a word document. :)
 
I have asked a buddy I know from a Star Trek site, but haven't heard from him. But I don't think he has a RuneQuest copy anyway, so I'd say he's probably not going to join. :(
 
You would be more than welcome :)

Please drop an email to matt@warpedcore.net and I'll get back to you with all the info you should need!

Um... as a Dark Troll I don't think I can play one... it would not only be redundant, but a Sin against the Darkness! A SIN I TELL YOU! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well, I reckon an Unas is the closest we can get....

What about a Jaffa... Dark, odd, bite attack... sounds like a troll to me! :wink:
