The campaign will start at level 9 with starting gold/items of 9,600gp.
This campaign will make use of Inherent bonuses.
The players may use their gp budget to buy any items, rituals, consumables of 6th level or lower. If an active PC, not a backup character, has an item crafting feat, then players can have items crafted up to the PC crafter’s level.
Combat and environments may be more deadly than some are used to...
If an intelligent monsters witnesses an ally being slain, they will attempt to slay downed PCs.
Terran 1:
The world the PCs originate is called Terran 1.
It is common knowledge that the people (all human) of this world migrated here long ago. The method and reason for the migration has been lost.
As the party adventures and encounters new species, new player races will be unlocked. If there is a specific PC race that a player would like, let me know and I’ll work it in.
Magic does exist on Terran 1 but is limited. All classes, feats, skills, backgrounds, themes, and items in the Character Builder are available.
Risiduum is rare on this world which limits magic item production.
There are no crafters on Terran 1 higher than 9, very few are even above 6.
The level of technological advancement on Terran 1 is similar to 20th century Earth.
During mining exploration the Argo Company discovered a vault that they were unable to enter. They tried explosives and all technologies on hand to no avail. The site soon taken over by the government and it took them almost 5 years to gain entrance to the vault. Once inside the Stargate was found, but it took another 15 years before a team of experts were able make the gate functional.
SG team:
There are several (6) teams that are being assembled to explore the Gates.
The teams will be comprised of 5-7 individuals and each team must have at least one Controller. This is due to the fact that only Controllers so far have shown the ability to operate the gate successfully. It is currently unknown why this limitation exists.
Because of this, one player must be of a Controller class character role. (A hybrid character counts, but a multi-classed character, using a multi-class feat, does not.)
Each player should have two characters ready to go and each must be of a different role (Leader, Controller, Defender, Striker).
The exception is for the player playing a Controller. Their backup character may be a Controller (but must still be of a different class).
If the party controller is lost (killed, kidnapped, ...) there may be a TPK as the party will be unable to use the gate.
Gates:
The "stargates" are one way conduits to another gate.
Though, some technologies do allow for two way transport (two-way radio communication is possible through an open gate). SG-C has determined this with the unmanned probe that they recently sent off world. Currently designated P2X-3YZ.
Gate usage:
Using the gate consists of pressing seven of the hieroglyphs on the “DHD” control panel, then placing a hand on the central control orb.
SG Command has identified one off world working address (28-26-5-36-11-29-31) from deciphering scrolls found near where the stargate was first found.
This world seems to have climate and atmosphere similar to Terran 1 with signs of rich animal and plant life. No intelligent species have been detected in the brief scans.
SG-C has an automated probe that was sent to this world and gathered as much information it could while the gate was open (roughly 30 minutes). After three dialing sessions of gathering information, communication with the probe has been lost.
The address back to Terran 1 from this world is yet unknown. So the first mission out could be a long endeavor if the team is unable to determine the address home.
First Mission:
Two SG teams will be sent to P2X-3YZ.
The first team will be sent in to:
Secure the gate.
Setup a base of operations
The second team will be tasked with:
Seek out the proper addresses to be dialed to make it home.
Seek out mineral (especially residuum) deposits
Seek out intelligent life and attempt to make peaceful contact.
