In-Character (IC) posts (about a Player's Character interacting within the Stargate RPG & greater STARGATE universe) are generally set in the present day (i.e.: right now, in real terms); in keeping with the current season(s) / episodes of the Stargate movies & seasons airing on T.V. at any given moment (N.B.: The overall progress of the RPG is set to the airing schedule of Australian television & the current world-wide movie-release schedule, not U.S. Syndication).
In terms of the movies / series, this means that the vast majority for posts are set after Season 10 of SG-1, Season 5 of Atlantis & Season 2 of STARGATE: Universe, as well as after STARGATE SG-1: The Ark of Truth, STARGATE: Continuum. The current year In-Character is 2014, picking up approximately three (3) years after the conclusion of STARGATE: Universe (Season 2) as Destiny completes it's Faster-Than-Light (FTL) jump into a new, as-yet-unexplored galaxy on the far side of universe.
Other posts may be set before, or during these periods (e.g.: Lira-Kai by Player Akren Garkos) - these posts will have the time period in which they are set (qouting episode(s) / season(s), if available), to save confusion.
Think of these posts as 'lost episodes' which take place using characters that work at, or with, the SGC & it's allies, but are not seen in the day-to-day adventures of SG-1 or Altantis on T.V.
In a way, these 'lost' or 'unseen' episodes / posts are stories which are told like the comics / books : they take place in the STARGATE universe as established by TPTB, but were 'untold' until now.
Should you need help with these posts (either writing them or reading them), please feel free to speak to the person(s) whom wrote it directly, or get in contact with one of our friendly RPG staff; whom will be more than happy to help you out as much as possible; & happy role-playing!
