As you know, I want to work on the upcoming Stargate series. I’m also an avid fan of the Marvel Multiverse Roleplaying Game. I’ve been writing up materials adapting elements of Stargate for this game. I’m thinking that now I’m going to get together a game soon and play it Stargate. I’ve created a couple characters modeled after concepts from the franchise and I’m thinking about modeling some analogues after established Stargate characters. What I’m thinking right this second is setting up characters to save time, find some players or at least corral some of my friends to play out in effect an episode of Stargate. Maybe THAT will get some attention. Preferably not-so-much litigious attention. Perhaps between job applications I’ll write up a quick little one shot and get this game going. ALRIGHT! You’ve talked me into it! I had a job little bit and one week we were on a road trip so, one night I ran a game for a handful of guys who have never played any TTRPGs before. We used a game format I came up with specifically for new players and then for shits and grins, I used some Stargate inspired material in that game. These guys yoinked some jaffa armor and weapons and then one of them actually took on one of the symbiotes. It was hilarious how these things played out. Especially with a group of players first, unfamiliar with TTRPGs and then equally unfamiliar with Stargate. It was a pretty fun little game.
Anyway, here I am again begging for a job writing Stargate. I’m not sure what to talk about this time. Here’s a topic, loose ends we could be addressing in the new series instead of rebooting. Earlier I was watching the episode, The Fifth Man. We’re introduced to a new character named Lt. Tyler. Spoiler in coming, Tyler turns out to be an alien. He’s of the ree’oll. A people who secret a hallucinogenic compound that disguises them within the perception of those contact with it. Creating intricate and profound memories of the ree’oll with a fictitious identity. They do call back to this in a later episode but just the one time. We could have characters from these people join SG teams as scouts, spies, and all sorts of interesting operators.
Then there’s the incursion force form Foothold. Somewhere someone called them the stragoth, I don’t know whether that’s canon but that’s seems to be the most efficient to look them up on line. It would be great to see more of them. Either they trying to take the SGC again, working with goa’uld cells, or just mixing up shit from time to time.
In the episode, Grace we see a ship that doesn’t match designs of any other ships we’ve seen. Maybe it’s a stragoth ship, maybe it’s a pirate tollanan ship that left Tollan before the cataclysm and the rogue crew has no such compunction about sharing their technology(one missile at a time), or perhaps they’re a group we haven’t seen at all.
And these are just some loose ends from SG-1. We have a few things throughout Atlantis we can play with and god damn it all, Universe has by definition, unlimited possibilities! Such a rich history and lore we can be building on instead of rebooting. In case it’s not so clear where I stand on matter of rebooting, I’d really rather they not. Especially if I could get on board and steer things away from the possibility of rebooting Stargate.
And again, if anyone has the means to get any of my texts in front of Martin Gero so that I can talk him into giving me a job writing for Stargate, please. I would really appreciate that. There are few things about which I’m this passionate. And of course, if I could start paying my bills with a passion like writing this stuff professionally…oh how sweet that would truly be?
