Hey Per. I was wondering if we could create an artifact relating to the Stargate series? I have one idea to pitch; it's in need of a little thought in one area, but I think it represents the biggest part of the series, and I'd love to make it work, if it's possible.

Stargate: The original prop stargate used in the television series. Can be used to dial out to worlds that exist in the Stargate universe (Milky Way only) and allow "travel" to those worlds.

My problem with the idea is the travelling to other worlds part. I know the universe is fiction, therefore logically the user can't physically travel to those worlds. But at the same time, that's the effect that feels right. I think it could work, but I was wondering how you thought it might work out. I had considered that it might be a case of taking the user to an alternate reality where Warehouse 13 and Stargate SG-1 exist but the user does not (similar in concept to van Doren's Brush in erasing the user's presence from one reality and transposing it to another), which traps the user in this reality until they themselves dial the gate to Earth, which links it to the solely Warehouse reality solely as opposed to the Stargate/Warehouse reality (since the Warehouse could not have a prop from a show that doesn't exist in that reality). I'm not sure how well that idea sits with you, though it is my personal favorite.

Another idea I had thrown around might be that the "travel" is in the user's head in the most realistic fashion, but if they die in their head, they die in real life. Again, not sure how well that sits. If you have any other ideas, let me know, though!
