Yeah, but Tenpenny came from England, or at least claimed to.

I heard its going to be back using Savage Worlds rules.

So what you're saying is that from a certain point of view it -will- be using the Rifts system.

the attraction is TORG TORG TORG TORG TORGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG TORG TORG, TORG TORG TORG TORG!

its sole noteworthy quality was the game name sounding like a pokemon and you would be surprised how effective 'naming your game after a pokemon you just kind of made up who is also an anime cyberpope' is as a marketing strategy holy poo poo

The best part about TORG's name is that it started as an internal company shorthand for "The Other Roleplaying Game" (As opposed to Star Wars d6, their moneymaker) and they just never found a better title.

From what little I remember, Mystara Halflings were refugees from a backwards world where Chaos was good and law was evil and their villages were built around black fire that burns cold, or something along those lines.

There's at least one comic/hobby store here locally that's basically run at random hours, is cramped and creepy and dusty but has been in business for years and doesn't seem likely to close because the owner inherited oil money back when that meant something so he's literally running the place as a hobby.

That is a pretty swanky looking Mobius. I would not object to him basically taking over the Gaunt Man role in a new version, because the whole "Become TORG" scheme is exactly a pulp villain plan.

Not to temper the TORG excitement but remember that technically _Masterbook_ is a streamlined version of the TORG rules, so...

Man, I didn't think Numenera could -get- more generic.

This is one of those things where the creator thinks something is bad only it's actually amazing, isn't it.

Are we even sure Stolze even wrote that bit in UA, given that John Tynes co-wrote the game and, well...he did create Powerkill
