History

edit

The Stargate SG:1 RPG (2003) by Alderac Entertainment Group followed their publication of the Spycraft d20 espionage game, and was designed to be fully compatible with the first edition of Spycraft.[2] Season guides and additional supplements for Stargate SG:1 were published until MGM pulled their license from AEG; thus, the RPG only adapted material from the first two seasons of the series.[2]
