Yes.

More seriously, my initial thought was the canon SGC but with magical portals and magical aliens and such, but one of the eventual votes (probably a while from now, as we have a few other things to vote on first) will be when the Stargate starts being used regularly, which might be some earlier era.

I'd like to primarily stick with each topic at a time, but if you have an idea for something to vote on later, or that needs discussing, feel free to post it.

OK, glad someone is voting.

I think the imbuments option of #2 is particularly interesting for a fantasy stargate setting.
Interesting reasoning, and it does make sense.
