Stargate: Theodicy

Stargate is a well documented series if you don't know much about it, the internet is great for finding out more. But you don't really need to do anything more than watch the Movie with Kurt Russell and James Spader.

You are an elite special forces operator on the most important mission ever undertaken by mankind. A foray to another planet, a planet populated by humans.

Commander: Lt. Colonel "One Lima" O'Neil(Played by the PC with the highest NFA)
Executive Officer Captain Kowalski (Played by yours truly)
Civilian Translator Dr. C. Jackson(Played by yours truly)
Marine Corporal "Animal Mother" (Played by the PC with the highest fighting ability)
Specialist "Cambridge"(Played by the PC with the second highest NFA)
Trooper "Dog" (Played by the PC with the highest intuition)

No need to know anything about military discipline this is a space opera not a tactical simulation. Beer and peanuts rules. For the first mission there is a sarcophagus, you can be brought back to life, again probably.

The points you have in an ability determine what you have to roll less than on a d10.

18 points divided between 3 stats
FIGHTING ABILITY
NON-FIGHTING ABILITY
INTUITIVE ABILITY

You also get 2 flashbacks. One representing a strength that carries you through. The other a fatal weakness. Strengths will instantly win an encounter and remove all threat tokens from play. Weaknesses will instantly end an encounter and usually end with the player who uses the weakness getting themselves, or someone else captured.

The first player to use a weakness triggered the ambush that overwhelmed the platoon and got you all captured. Sucks to suck, but someone's gotta do it, you might not get demoted afterwards.

You have 3 hit points. If they reach 0 you die forever, probably. There may be a sarcophagus around, but I wouldn't count on it. There will probably be ablutions though, healing equipment, alien drugs, you know the usual things to expect considering the theme.

Slavery is a huge element in this game as will be a frequent storyline element. As with alien experiments in eugenics. Religious misinterpretation will also be a frequent theme.

I just need one player to start this anyone can join.

I'd like to play!

The state of the rules.

All you'll need to do is distribute 18 points between your Fighting Ability(FA) Non-Fighting Ability(NFA) and Intuition(IN) once you have done this we can move onto escaping the holding cell.

It's really simple. I'll say roll a check, then you'll roll your score or under on a d10 to succeed. Rolling 10s can be bad but only in the most extreme circumstances. Such as taking alien drugs or trying to activate alien tech.

Failing usually means you get hurt. Anyone can take a hit for anyone else at any time. If you have a medical kit you can heal one point between encounters. Medical kits can be used to save a dying character, they are consumed in the process.

Killing things is easy. You roll your Fighting Ability, if you succeed you roll the kills based on your weapon and the Range table. The theater of the mind is a wonderful opportunity for you to within reason tell me how you killed the alien menace with your gun.

Fixing things is hard. Sometimes the alien threat will come in the form of technology that can't be comprehended by most. In such a challenge you will roll your Non-Fighting Ability to see what you can do about the threat. If you succeed feel free to tell me what you learned about the alien super tech.

Finally the third threat is of the metaphysical nature. Your intuition can not only be used to discern danger, it also can be used to protect you from that danger. In matters of Metaphysics, you just have to go with your gut instinct.

Might there be a second player out there?

I will never not be interested in playing this idea.
