[QUOTE="Lord_Blacksteel, post: 7782642, member: 53082"] Mechanics issues aside, I'm a little surprised we're seeing a new company publish a tabletop RPG based on a license that's been dormant for 10 years. I haven't seen a big outcry for it online and it's not like there was a long string of successful predecessors that had established it as a popular gaming universe. Are there plans for a new movie or TV series that this might tap into? Checked the wiki and all I see is comic book activity. Anyone else know anything? Getting back to mechanics one of the primary reasons for using a class and level system is to present a zero to hero progression within the game. Stargate never struck me as that kind of story or setting. It seemed - in my limited experience with it - to be more about reasonably competent seasoned professionals solving problems and continuing to be reasonably competent seasoned professionals. It wasn't really about unlocking new powers or developing new abilities. This is why I suspect a lot of people were thinking something more like Traveller and less like D&D. The designer mentioned above trying 5-level prestige classes which sounds like a balance nightmare and was not well-liked in Star Wars d20's first two editions. If you can come up with something classless that would probably fit the material better but then it doesn't look much like 5E does it? If you can make a full class progression with say ten levels or more then it at least looks something like 5th. It will be interesting to watch at the very least. [/QUOTE]
