[QUOTE="Ladybird, post: 2067160, member: 10689"] Welcome to “Cheyenne Mountain Irregulars”! This storyhour will chronicle the adventures of SG-17, one of the elite military units that operates out of Stargate Command’s top-secret facility in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado. Our heroes will travel all over the world – and all over the galaxy – in their attempts to defend Earth from the power-hungry alien Goa’uld. Now for the meta-notes: [b]On the Setting[/b]: We’re playing the SG-1 RPG d20 system, published by Alderac Entertainment Group. It’s based on the TV show Stargate: SG-1, which in turn is based on the movie Stargate. It’s not strictly necessary to have any specific knowledge of the plot of either the TV series or the movie in order to understand this game, but knowledge of the setting is extremely helpful.
