RPG Systems

Hello -
New guy here, just wanting to jump in and ask a general question. If I am off base on this just redirect me to another place.

I am a moderate fan (certainly not a fanatic/expert) of Stargate. I am also an avid gamer and use a number of different gaming systems. I was looking for some ideas as to what gaming systems would work best with the Stargate scenario, and what special changes would be necessary.

Please provide any thoughts you may have.
Thanks in advance.
Thom

Well, I know nothing about RPG's, or very little, anyway, but I have two things to say anyway;
1) Huh, I thought by your username that you were female.
2)You don't have to be an expert on Stargate to post here...

OK, and 3)Someone'll be along shortly to answer your Q's...

Venus -
Sorry, but I missed your male/female comment based upon the name Aeges. Aeges was just a name of a male character from a PBEM D&D game which I tend to use as a pseudonym on boards.

As to the expert and wait for more help comments - Thanks! I just wanted to make sure I did not come across with a topic that did not belong on the list.

Death -
Thanks for your reference to Ash - I will wait and see what further responses I get.

As soon as Ash sees the letters RPG together, he should storm here. Maybe

Yeah, but he closed it down. Or is repairing it or something. Someone should really pm him, but seeing as I don't know anything about RPG's it had better be one of you lot.

*sees the letters RPG together and storms on in*

yeah, i ran an RPG, but closed it down due to real life thingy-ma-bobbys.

there are a number of RPGs out there... all PBEM (although there's probably others... but i only play PBEM).

PBEM (Play by e-mail) is IMO the best way to do it... but it could probably be done via other ways.

try out:

SGC TaskForce
RDASU Gateroom

there are others, but those are the two i play, and the only two in my favourites folder.

Hrm

*raises eyebrow*

Looks interesting, but doubt I would have the ability to commit for any period of time.

OK, so it sounds like PBEM free form role playing is the way previous games have been played. I was curious about system comparisons like: d20, Rolemaster, d6, GURPS, Saga or other rules sets.

It seems like those who do rpg are just using free-form text in a PBEM environment, which means the game master determines the results of actions and dice rolls, cards, and combat rules are not used.

Thanks for the input.

Thom
