ultranos: kino standing, staring ahead (controlling the flow of ideas)
This is all [livejournal.com profile] shanghairain's fault, by the way.

So, I was mentioning to him about the possibility of rebooting Spearhead, the short-lived Stargate campaign I ran. The last session left me with a one-shot NPC who demanded to be plot-critical and a need to figure out a better plot. On the reboot, it would start later in the timeline (in s8 instead of right after "Heroes"), among other things. The mouthy NPC's plot was/is better suited to the Pegasus Galaxy than the Milky Way, so eventually, the PCs would have to get to Atlantis.

Then the brainstorm struck: redo SGA entirely, from "Rising", as a tabletop.

It's been done before: a friend of mine redid the Star Wars prequel trilogy as a tabletop, to fantastic results.

The only thing is, the Stargate d20 books are rare and sort of out of print. There is no Atlantis supplement, beyond the random .doc file I found on the internet last year. And I can write a better one. So I am apparently writing a supplement .pdf document for an Atlantis setting. For a Spearhead reboot in the Pegasus. Where the PCs will have to deal with rationing everything (including bullets), where Elizabeth Weir has a +50 Bluff and Diplomacy modifier, and where maybe things will go differently.

I have a good feeling about this one.

If the playtest goes well enough, I'm thinking of putting the .pdf somewhere online for people to use. :)

Ooh, I might. I only have the Core Book in hardcopy.

I do torrent. I picked up some .pdfs, but they're not the best quality. :)
