Stargate: SG-1 Roleplaying Game is a role-playing game based on the TV series Stargate SG-1, released in 2003 by Alderac Entertainment Group.[1] The game, based on AEG's Spycraft, uses the d20 System. Since Sony did not renew AEG's contract to publish the game, it is now out of print.

History[edit]

The Stargate SG:1 RPG (2003) by Alderac Entertainment Group followed their publication of the Spycraft d20 espionage game, and was designed to be fully compatible with the first edition of Spycraft.[2] Season guides and additional supplements for Stargate SG:1 were published until MGM pulled their license from AEG; thus, the RPG only adapted material from the first two seasons of the series.[2]

Core rulebook[edit]

The core Stargate SG-1 role-playing book is a hardbound and full-color 488 page volume. The content includes:

  • Summaries of episodes aired during the television show's first six seasons
  • Information on planet previously visited by SG-1
  • Information regarding Stargate Command and the Cheyenne Mountain Complex
  • Information regardingGoa'uld types, history, biology and psychology
  • Skills, feats, and gear
