Stargate 1895 (DeadSimpleRoleplaying) - Explorers wanted!
Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2014 4:15 am
Hey guys
I'm looking to test run a game of Stargate 1895 before I DM it IRL, wondered if anybody here was up for helping me do that?
It's based on the DeadSimple RPG game, meaning it only uses a d20 and the rules are compressed onto a single page which I'll link to below. The fact that it's very rules light is why I picked it; I'm DMing for some people from my Opera Company who've never RPed before
The game itself is based in an alternate version of the Stargate SG-1 universe, where the Stargate was discovered by Victorian English scientists in the late 19th century, so the Stargate program is up and running in 1895 England, rather than 1990's USA. It would be good if you're a fan of vaguely steampunk, British Imperial/Raj/Boer War era history, as well as SG-1 series, but I won't turn anybody away regardless of whether they've seen the series or not
You play as Explorers for the new Office of Exploratory Studies, recruited from various walks of life (in essence your class), e.g. Soldier, Criminal, Hunter, Scientist, Clergy. As equipment goes, you'll be armed with swords or era-appropriate firearms. Also the aim of the OES is to pick up and use extra-terrestrial tech, so you might be in luck
I'll run the game as turn based on here, and I'll update each turn with a screenshotted map from Roll20. I'll also make a few small changes to the rules linked below, and if you want to do anything that isn't allowed or specified in the rules, feel free to ask, chances are if there's a good enough reason in universe I'll allow it
As I said, this will be a test run of a system I've never used before, so be prepared for lots of rule adjusting and balancing I'm looking for probably 3, but maybe 4 (or more if I'm swamped with requests ) players, but if this is successful and people want me to keep playing, I'm considering running more of either this, SOE21 (spy based) or Carbon City (Superheroes) which are based on the DeadSimple system too.
Cheers
