Apparently, WEG had asked John Tynes to bang out a Stargate SG1 RPG before they went under. This website is remarkably out of date, so I can't even speak to how real it is - but it made for a decent read while I was on lunch at work.

Another WEG product I would have payed for that never popped up. I love the movie as well as the series. It would make for some good RPing. Thank you for posting this.

I'd have loved to play Stargate using the WEG rules!

Someone took Tynes' document and added enough material to make the game playable.

Interesting find, but rather incomplete. No info on vehicles/ships, nor on how one resists being taken over by a gou'ald (If even possible).. BUT at least it's a start.

I'd probably look at how Ghostbusters and Star Wars (maybe some of the other d6 games as well) handle vehicles to come up with some vehicle rules for Stargate. I suggested Ghostbusters because it looked like Tynes used that version of the engine for Stargate.

As for resisting a goa'uld symbiote, I'd say an opposed roll (simulating a contest of wills). It could result in some interesting things like the goa'uld only getting partial control or being resisted entirely. You could even have the System Lords hunting down a character for experimentation or execution because they managed completely resist a symbiote.

I'd say D6 Space probably have be best free rules for space ships. Tynes says on the page he used the now OGL "D6 System" as the base for StarGate game.

I miss SG-1 and Atlantis, and likewise would have parted with hard currency to play in WEG's Stargate sandbox.

This came up recently on another thread so I thought I'd bump it. Is this game based on any of the TV series? I've only seen the original movie so know very little about this franchise.

Yes, I'd say it's based on the first TV series "Stargate SG-1, which it shares a name with. The TV series had only run a couple of seasons when the RPG was written, and this cleanup of Tynes' original game he posted online doesn't seem to add anything more

On a related note, there will be a new Stargate RPG based on DnD5E coming out in 2020. It will be concurrent with Stargate SG-1, Season Six.
