I'm having a hard time picking gear. Should I pick gear or just wait for missions? Do I buy personal stuff? If so, what page is that on? It's really confusing me.

Ah, Gear.. I love gear...

I had a hell of a time figuring it out! Let's see here, you're a Colonel, right? 0-6.. You get lots of toys!

All characters recieve the standard SG Team bundle, with a MP5A3 instead of an FN P90, given that we don't see P90's much until partway into the 4th season. Just as well, too, because the MP5 is an awsome weapon, and I doubt we'll need the Armor Piercing quality of the P90 right away.

all characters recieve a Mission bundle, based on the type of mission to which he is currently assigned. The GM will give suggestons, and sometimes requirements, but we should have some choice in what we bring, because it dictates how we'll complete our mission.

As a colonel, you are awarded 1 Duty bundle, and 1 Duty or weapon bundle, a bonus Gear Pick (Don't forget that you get your charisma bonus in free gear picks, too!), as well as 3 personal bundles. Personal bundles are not usually brought through the gate, and represent what you have either at home or in your quarters on the base (though some thigns can be brought and it is also possible to smuggle things through, but there is a quarentine on earth goods passing through the gate and everything must be documented carefully when it is brought through.)

Gear picks may be spent to either 'buy' gear (on a mission by mission basis) or upgrade gear with mods or improvements (like addding a supressor and laser sight to a pistol). Gear picks are never shared and may only benefit you (though once we're through the gate it's stupid to say we can't lend eachother thigns for a bit.) Resource points are used to get advance team reports, drone use, gate traffic priority, emergency training, and alien devices. (Ashley has 3 bonus resource points that can only be spent on alien devices, so she'll usually be armed with either a Zat or an Intar. It's good to be Ex-N.I.D.)

I can see Julian working like the Eagles kids in the old 80's flick Iron Eagle... hacking into the Air Force networks to 'acquire' the necessary clearance/stuff for whatever trouble we get ourselves into...

Keep in mind you're not the only one with a 20+ to Computers, and if you get caught, you're in deep

. You could probably pull it off, once, but gear is somethign they pay lots of attention to, and if you got something suspicious, they'd look into it. Carefully.

You might want to keep your 1337 haxxor skillz honed on the badguys, and not piss off your commanders, or you'll end up in the brig eventually, I'm sure.

You mean Colonel Johnson? Look, unless he orders me to, I'm not calling anyone bubba... And maybe not even if he does order me to... Yeesh!

Yes, Colonel Johnson.

But most civilians don't refer to military members by their rank. So he will say "Call me Bubba" and if you don't want to, fine, you can call him Colonel Johnson.

Character Sheet

I found a nice, fillable character sheet here: http://www.stargatesg1rpg.com/resources/stargate_character_sheet_interactive.pdf

Since I have the full version of Acrobat, I was able to type it up and save it. I stil haven't gotten my gear together but everything else is pretty much taken care of.

If anyone else wants to use the sheet and save it somewhere, you can e-mail it to me to host it.

The copy of acrobat I have here won't support it, but at home it should. Given that e1ven and I practically live together, and will eventually, I'll just make manual entry paper sheets for our characters and give those to him. she skills section is gonna be a bitch, because no one spelled out where those bonuses came from, but I'll manage.

Stargate always has bonuses coming out of all sorts of crazy places.
