I agree that the book should have been OGL. Stargate is a strong enough license to not require the d20 logo to sell, especially with the Powered by Spycraft logo to help with those looking for compatibility. The inclusion of all necessary rules in one book would have been a boon for any new RPG...

I agree. With only 28 pages being the actual episode guide, and the remaining 96 pages being rather important setting information, the episode guide is only 1/17 of the entire size of the book. Without chapter 2, 3, and 4 the book would be sorely lacking, and chapter 1 also provides a...

CHAPTER SIX: Skills (60 pgs) The rules for skills presented in this chapter are easy to understand and an improvement over the standard d20 skill system. The chapter presents rules on complex skill checks, critical successes, critical failures, and multitasking. I can see these rules all...

CHAPTER FIVE: Character Creation (48 pgs) Chapter five is where we start getting into the meat of the book. The chapter begins with an optional questionnaire to run through to help determine who your character is. It also makes an interesting (and unique as far as I know) suggestion to take an...

I stand corrected. :)

CHAPTER FOUR: The Goa-uld (22 pgs) Chapter four is an in-depth description of Stargate’s premier villains, the Goa’uld. Once again, this a no-rules section that contains no d20 information. What it does contain is the history, biology, and the nature of the Goa’uld race. A lot of information...

This is not in defense of the changes to the d20 license, but... I just thought I would point out that BoVD doesn't use the D20 Logo. It uses the Dungeons & Dragons Logo. When is the last time you saw the D20 logo on a WoTC product? I don't think I have ever seen it on a WoTC release...

I like the idea, but I don't think its the case because the majority start with P, there are several that are 7 characters long instead of the standard six, and why put a dash after the 1st 3 characters?

How the designations are created doesn't seem to be available anywhere. However, if you look at the list of designations on page 82 you can draw some logical conclusions. Example: M4C-862 M likely stands for moon. Most of the designations use P (likely for planet). This is the only designation...

CHAPTER THREE: Through the Gate (44 pgs) Chapter Three details the primary worlds and races of the Stargate universe. This section contains no d20 rules, only descriptions. The world descriptions each contain limited information on the world’s general geography, weather pattern, orbit, and...

CHAPTER TWO: The Stargate Program (30 pgs) Chapter Two details the Stargate Program. This chapter is very well written in my opinion, with detailed information about the Stargate Program. The primary sections of the chapter detail SG Team positions and assignments, public knowledge of the...

CHAPTER ONE: History of the Stargate (28 pgs) Chapter one is a brief outline of the Stargate Movie and SG-1 TV Show through the sixth season. I have only skimmed this section at this point, but glancing through the pages reveals it to be a rather standard season synopsis for the show. It...

Chapter by Chapter Review As I read the book, I am putting together a review. As I finish each chapter I will post a quick review of it. INTRODUCTION (2 pgs) The first section of the Stargate SG-1 RPG is a fairly standard introduction, taking up only two pages. It starts with a brief...

Well, I just got the book in the mail today. At 1st glance the book is nice and thick and filled with information. The episode guide is actually rather short (28 pages or so), only describing the episodes that are pertinent to the overall story line. I am currently in the Second Chapter...

You know... you can probably buy it for as cheap as $15 at most places. In my opinion, $15 is seldom worth the effort of trying to find said item from free. The only way you are likely going to get a "free" copy is to buy something that is alot more expensive then simply buying the DVD. That...

It has been stated that BOTH Dungeon and Poly were in danger of dying out before the merger. One of the stated reasons was to merge the subscriber base so that they could make the bottom line for the magazine(s) and they would survive. Some people do not believe this line of thought and think...

Thanks for the responses everyone. I just ordered it from FRPGames.com as they appear to be one of the few retailers that list the product. Can't wait to get this tome in my hands. Now I just have to convince my group to give a try.

Crystals work well I think. Simply allow each lightsaber to have up to two crystals to modify its base stats. Use the magic weapon section of the 3rd Edition DMG for modification ideas or use your imagination. A low end crystal could provide a +1 to-hit and damage. A high end crystal could...

I believe it was stated we would begin seeing changes in #104. This was stated shortly after Erik took the helm. Not certain if we will see all of the above changes by issue #104 though, but we will likely see some of them.

Hello All, Does anyone know the expected release date for Stargate SG-1. The only information I can find is "August". What concerns me is I cannot find a listing for the book with any online retailers. I understand that the book was on sell at Gencon, so it obviously finished. Thank you...
