<p>I am bad at inventing new adversaries, but maybe in the first "season" of the adventure, I could pull up an existing race that gets negligible screentime as it is; the Aschen.</p>
<p>Alternately, I could bring out the classic Replicators. Annoying little bastards. Chances are though that the Replicators would be impossible for players to kill that early in the adventure, regardless of how they came back into being.</p>
<p>If anyone else has ideas for adversaries, I am eager to hear them. I think we have established it will take place after the shows, but thousands of years is definitely too big of a leap for my tastes.</p>
<p>And possibly, by the power of transgalactic bridges constructed by the Tau'ri, exactly which galaxy will likely become irrelevant (it might take place anywhere from a few months after Stargate Universe, to a few decades after SG-1, but no more than a century)</p>

Complete with a Wilhelm scream and a Jedi staring at the Stargate in complete shock.</p>
<p>Back on topic; The problem I have with not having Stargates in a Pathfinder/Stargate adventure is exactly what it says on the tin. It has called Stargate for a reason :/
<br />
That is not to say that your own idea doesn't have merit, though.</p>
<p>- - - - - -</p>
<p>The example opening scenario that I came up (before starting this thread)with would have Dungeon Crawl Classics-style level zero player characters, helping uncover an artifact in Numeria... And before they can even figure out how it works, it starts dialing suddenly, and the Pathfinders are attacked; the only way to survive the engagement would be to escape, and <i>any</i> surviving Level 0 player characters later meet up with the <i>actual,</i> properly built Level 1-5 player characters... The reason these "elite" Pathfinders are called in is because the technological nature of the Stargate raises a red flag within the Pathfinder Society's ranks.</p>
<p>The first idea that I had was that it would actually take place before Stargate (1994), with the Earth Stargate not even getting unburied, and any attempt to dial certain addresses (like Earth, Abydos, or Atlantis/Destiny) would either result in "Chevron 7 will not lock", or in the case of Atlantis, the entire party dying as the city floods.</p>
<p>Also, another ambitious mechanic I wanted to try is that for any planet that the players dialed, if maps and encounters weren't already planned then the whole planet would come off a random encounter table. Also, the more stuff you did out there in the universe, then the greater the risk of the planet being attacked... Once it climbed high enough, eventually Golarion will be attacked by ship, at which point it's completely screwed if they don't get any help.</p>
<p>The reason that I initially planned for a Pre-SG1 Golarion was actually so it would mesh better with the <a href="http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2t9lm&page=2?Making-Golarion-Yours#76" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">alternate timeline/multiverse</a> that I came up with. Of course, it is also the most limiting option, hence why I put the other options up for debate. So I will consider your ideas, Scud.</p>Ah, Stargate and Star Wars, I was actually thinking about something like that not too long ago; a Stargate being discovered during the Clone Wars, and an SG team comes through via wormhole accidental time travel, thereby disintegrating a Clone Trooper in the opening wormhole...

<p>Thing is, I still don't know how to actually create a workable "adventure path" without having written even a basic plot outline to follow, and even less how to do something like that without aggressively railroading the players due to the fact there are just so many different planets to theoretically visit.</p>
<p>Obviously, in order to prevent conflicts with the established Stargate canon, certain gate addresses would be entirely off-limits (no Earth or Atlantis for instance), but that would also prevent the players from ever encountering certain races like the Replicators (hope to Desna that your party doesn't have adamantine weapons and mithral armor)</p>Uh, yeah, basically I am trying to do what you said.

- Alternate Universe/Timeline (nobody from Earth, period)

- Pegasus Galaxy (post Lantean-Wraith War)

<p>The different sub-factions of the PFS would all compete for their own reasons, most likely...

Obviously though, the Aspis Consortium would have to use an alias "organization" to compete.</p>
<p>While a majority of the teams' vehicles might be primarily magic/alchemy powered and/or pseudo-steampunk, they would have to be retrofitted with small samples of tech provided by the Technic League, such as the Anti-Gravity systems, computer/weapon systems, shields, life support, etc...

<p>I imagine the Grand Lodge playing a similar roll to Mirage, Dark Archive being AG Systems, The Exchange being Qirex, and so on... Maybe not in terms of gameplay or appearance, but definitely in terms of personality.
