Stargate: Phoenix ~ Tabletop RPG by Wyvern Gaming

[Elite Anubis Guard]

It's going to depend on the writer and what they're aiming to achieve with the story of this new one. If something done in the old one gets in the way of something they're aiming to do here, I imagine they'll just ignore that specific element from Alderac's.

But I'm not fussed as long as the final result is interesting.

[Falcon Horus]

I could always ask...

But I do think it'll be a brand new game, and not build on the old RPG game.

[Platschu]

Alderac system is still like an AU, so the new RPG can be handled the same way. Average viewers will never read or play it, while the hard-core ones must be open-hearted enough to accept some new settings.

[Elite Anubis Guard]

Oh yeah, that's how I head canon away anything like that. lol It's just another AU.

[Platschu]

Well... technically every RPG party will be AU as every GM will tell a different scenarios. Like an interactive fan fiction.

[Elite Anubis Guard]

Very true!

My first RPG was the Fighting Fantasy book series (written by Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson). It has really inspired my imagination at age 9-10 as it was full of nice pictures as well.

I have never played AD&D, but I have played with the Eye of the Beholder 1-2 game on my PC. I have read almost all Drizzt books as well, so I was familiar with the Forgotten Realms and later the Dark Sun setting. I have briefly heard about the Middleearth RPG (LOTR based one), but I have not even read the books at that stage.

My "main" RPG was a Hungarian system and we have played it for years. But then our ways were seperated after the secondary school, so I haven't played live RPG since age of 16.

My favorite fantasy game series is still the Elder Scrolls (Morriwind, Oblivion, Skyrim). The world is so complex... eras, gods, heroes, lots of quests and npcs, wild range of clans and character opportunities. The Witcher III is still on my list as soon as I buy a better (and working) PC.

Nowadays they can make such high quality, almost movie quality computer and console games that I am not so sure of the market of the a tabletop RPG is still a growing one. I believe it must have decreased in the last few years as more interactivity can be reached in computer games.

Exactly. They have released one book every month or second month in Hungary in 1988-1992. And even those books could be published behing the Iron Curtaine. In comparsion that we have turned into democracy only in 1989, it was really progressive that they could publish those game books. I loved them. I have arranged them by covers. Really... I was impressed as a little boy since I have been born in 1980, so these books has found me at age 7-12. My mother has brought me the Deathtrap Dungeon after my speech therapy, so while I was waiting for her in the car, I could read that book.

I was not really a big fan of the cyberpunk / scifi books of the series. And later I have grown out this book. Then I have managed to "collect" them online in pdf version, so it is lovely to play them occasionally in English, But obviously 30 years have passed so it won't cause the same joy like under 10.

[Gatefan1976]

Ahh, I'm a RPG'er from a young age. I was playing basic D&D (the red box) with my deputy principal in year 5

Oops. It looks you have won then. It is a very impressive list, then you must be really experienced.

I have just checked the FF series on the Hungarian wikipedia, the first was published in 1989, so I was 9. They were released by different companies. I was lucky I could be part of that magical book experience as that was the first step into my geek/nerd myself.

I loved the Hercules and Xena tv shows as an RPG fan. Those were the golden years. There was no boys who hadn't a crush on Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor). I have started to appreciate Lucy Lawless more after the BSG and Spartacus. And then Stargate has showe up as well and you all know my loyality has never broken since 1997.

I loved the Lands of Lore game (maybe from 1994-1995). God knows how many times I have played it. Heroes of Might and Magic III is still one of my favorite fantasy-strategy game too. I loved the Warcraft 1-3, then the Diablo 2 too, but they were released at the end of the '90es or early '00s.

I still got a set of dices. It still amazes me how can they make D4, D9, D10, D20 dices.

Ahh, yeah
Games filled in the role of legal systems, I LIKE knowing how things (mostly people) work, and RPG's tell you everything. Game theory is my passion.

Fighting fantasy and Choose your own adventure books were mine as well.

The 90's were very much the golden age of RPG's.

I refuse to call Computer games RPG's. They are RPG simulators at best. They are not "bad", or "wrong", they are what they are and a hell of a lot of fun, but they lack the dynamic of other people and a fluid GM, which is at the core of a RPG.

I have buckets of the things

The msin problem was with RPG that if you tell a module for a 4-6 people party then everybody has got less opportunity to shine. Even a simple fight can last for long minutes until everybody made their own turn. Then the motivations were different for a fighter or a wizard or a bard, so sometimes characters have got their own adventures.

I loved being a GM. I have made some photocopies of the FF illustrations, so my stories were told by showed pictures occasionally. Or when I have made some puzzle in the dungeos, they have cursed me for ages. ????

If you have seen "Stranger things" season 1, the boys also play RPG.

I like computer games as they really give interactivity, a bigger adrenaline rush. Nothing is wrong with them. Okay, they are visually more stunning and then the own imagination is less, but it can still give more reward than a day or half-day is spent with an hours long RPG on Saturdays.

I never found that. Yes people take time, but the other players would chat, or plan their turn based on what other players were doing. When characters were -really- doing their own thing that would take chunks of time, I would just run a single session for them on another day, or before everyone else turned up.
RPG's are SOCIAL by nature, which is why I don't consider Computer games RPG's (unless they are MMOLRPG's like Warcraft or Old Republic, but even they are touch and go)

Good way to go.

Haven't got to it to be honest.

Nothing wrong with them at all, but I don't consider single player games "RPG's". There is none of the social interactivity between PEOPLE. You craft your own story, and that's cool, just not a RPG IMHO.

I own the basic D&D box (the red one) but I haven't the foggiest how to play that since I literally don't know anyone who RPG's, so we're left to figure it out on our own which has clearly not worked since we've opened the box ones and then never again. It's a nice looking box though.
