Stargate Roleplaying Game is a roleplaying game based on the TV series Stargate SG-1, released in 2021 by Wyvern Gaming. The game is based in the d20 System.

History
The Stargate Roleplaying Game was the brainchild of Phil Loyer. With the help of his wife, Sam, and friends, Brad Ellis and Wes, they developed the idea into a roleplaying game.

They approached MGM to gain the licence for a Stargate roleplaying game.

In July 2019, the game opened up for close beta testing.

In January 2020, the game went into open beta testing.

On 6 October 2020, a Kickstarter was launched with a base goal of US$33,400. The project was funded in a little over 3.5 hours. The project is planned to release the PDF version of the book in December 2020 and have the physical books distributed in January 2021.

A public launch of the game is planned for March 2021 at WonderCon.

Background
The Stargate Roleplaying Game takes up the story from Stargate SG-1 Season 6 Episode 9 (Allegiance).

An off-world site, called the Phoenix Site, was established as a base of operation to locate, negotiate, and to integrate subjugated aliens into the Stargate program as a way to build a force against the Goa'uld System Lords.

The players will take control of characters who are based at the Phoenix Site and will adventure out into the universe.

A Living Campaign will be developed in which players and Gatemasters (the name of the game mater in this roleplaying system) from around the world will be able to play in Episodes (what Wyvern Gaming are calling the adventures) and have the ability to shape the in-game world as new episodes are written.
