Hello!
I have tried everything to get a Sulu image. I am hoping most of us can register Checkov and see Sulu.

Hiya, I'll be playing Case, your friendly neighborhood Core Earth psychic.

I currently run a Torg Eternity game for my (mainly) local band of miscreants on Roll20 (rather than tabletop) largely due to recent events.  I have run oTorg a few sessions in the past (back in the 90s) but my gang generally preferred White Wolf WoD games and then latter 3rd ed D&D at the time.  Torg is one of those games I always wanted to play (not GM) but could never find an opportunity.  I recently got back into pbp (again due to recent events) so looking forward to see how this one develops.

I generally post daily, with replies ranging from a single sentence 'me too' post (if I don't have anything to add just so the game isn't waiting on me) to a couple of paragraphs at times.  I seem to catch GM posts pretty quickly after they are posted and don't hesitate to hit reply (again I don't procrastinate and I've seen pbps really slow down because everyone it waiting to see what others are doing first before posting ironically;-), so don't worry about 'stepping on my toes' if you have a different course of action but I've posted beforehand.  No problem with adjusting to suit or working with any breadcrumbs you seed into your posts (roleplay or otherwise).

As a side note the closest thing I could find to Pan Pacifica Sulu is this...

Happy gaming!

In reply to Case Morrow (msg # 3):

That is awesome, unfortunately, Johnny is young Sulu :)

I check RPoL multiple times every day, if I haven't posted in 4 hours, it is likely because I don't want anyone else feeling like I am pushing them.

<shrug> I usually have other things to do in 4 hours;-).  I generally don't care who posts first and don't expect player postage faster than 'courtesy leeway' of email (which is no longer than 3 days) to no more than a week.  This isn't Shakespeare and if a player can't take a few minutes in a week even for a 'me-to' post or a heads-up, ime that tends to drag a game more than anything else.  It's more the GM posts I find sets the pace anyway.

Barring vacation or unexpected situation, a game of this type I usually look for some GM resolution one way or the other about after a week (or a heads up from the GM the game's at a slower rate).  Granted, I've played long running successful games for years that had a cycle rate of once a month or longer, but those were usually strategy pbems (with a lot of diplomacy in-between and post-turn) or snail mail pbms(or both).

Hello everybody! I am the bandaged man of mystery/mummy known only as...The Revenant!

Or just Jacob. Whichever.

I am glad to be working with the mentally able, as I work mostly via brute force.

Hello hello! Doc Tarot here.

I have seen your future, and it is JUSTICE.

I sense a lot of all caps in our future.  Nile Empire is probably my favorite cosms.

Though they did 'fix' Living Land quite a bit for TE imo compared to oTorg.

NE was always awesome.
LL I found suffered more from a lack of Player Imagination than anything else, though the TE setting gives more inspiration to fix that.
I actually miss the Business Machinations of the old NT, though PP is probably a better setting (Waiting is).
CP was my favorite. I don't like what TE did to it, but I accept the necessity. And it is still an excellent Cosm.

I'm still on the fence about a few things (from what I've seen with my Roll20 game).  oTorg had a number of subsystems I liked (or didn't mind) that they did away with trying to keep things as rules lite as possible.  Perks are a part of that in that they do help in some respects they also remove some fiddly bits of oTorg I liked.

If we're short a LL character let me know, I'm happy to swap out my NE mage for an edeinos because hey man, alien lizards!

For the love of God (or Lanala) not Skippy!;-)

LOL. Okay, but I mean, he had a crop-top I HEART NY t-shirt and everything...

;-) True, but I'd always look at the millions that would realistically die in the LL invasion (even with cosm elements to favor primitive survival), and think that Skippy would get a very chilly reception from Core Earth natives to the point a mass lynching by ords would be a constant worry.

Seriously, if anyone wants to play an edeinos (or the like), no worries.  This is the game to put together any concept you can imagine;-).

Though I do wonder about that backer who had them draw up a sloth PC.

If Skippy were to make it here, he would be afforded the standard protection of the Delphi Council.

In reply to Case Morrow (msg # 14):

That was why they have a -4 outsider penalty.

:)

One thing we humans are good at is using accepting help from people we normally wouldn't trust.

In reply to Johnny Ichii (msg # 16):

Also (mostly) true;-).

Granted a lot of my Roll20 campaign has taken place in the Philadelphia region so far so that penalty has largely been applied to my Knights when dealing with lots of Edeinos.

A comment on the Quinn Sebastian avatar...it's too bad they don't have a Col. Gathers (Hunter S. Thompson parody from Venture Brothers) loaded into the pic selection for rpol.  Darn near impossible to get them to upload one nowadays in my experience too, but that's the voice I use for Quinn when he shows up in my game;-).

Hello all. Also muscle here. You point, I kill. Please do not take it personally if he is laconic at you, that is just the way it is.

As far as differences between old and new Torg goes, I do like the attachment of psionics to the Social aixom. Makes that more than 'so yeah okay, you guys can't remember how to pay taxes anymore, yay!'.

All right, well now I really want to do this. Give me a day to submit the edeinos & swap out, please.

In reply to Doc Tarot (msg # 19):

[chews carrot] Eh, what's up, Doc?

You want to switch and be an edeinos? Fine by me.

He sounds like Korg from "Thor: Ragnarok."

"Hey? How ya doin'? My name's Mooncutter, this is my girl Tori. Don't judge, she didn't. Anyway, probably here to see some dinosaurs. Watch out for the poop, it's everywhere."

In reply to Doc Tarot (msg # 21):

Updating the character name.

Thanks! New portrait added as well. I'm at work now, but will stat him up once I'm home and can access the rulebook.

Do you have access to TOCG? (At home of course)

Yes I do! :)

In reply to Mooncutter (msg # 25):

Jonny took more time figuring out what firearm to give him than the rest of the character.

LOL. I just submitted his particulars. I figure I'll go shopping once the math is approved.

In reply to Mooncutter (msg # 27):

Shop away!

Hey all, new guy here. I will be your resident Cyberwarlock/hacker.

I was wondering if we'd get a hacker.  Welcome to the game;-)

Yes, welcome!

To your in game question: Yes, that's basically how it works.  This GM is not going to allow a Glory on a Req Roll (I believe) so there's no point in rolling an Auto-success. Look at my roll for another example.

Thanks! I had 4 different concepts, and our GM thought this would be the best fit. But, not sure his hacking skills are going to be very useful on this mission. But at least the magic should be helpful, and he's a decent shot.

No, it's not likely to be useful here, but I'm looking to bring every cosm into play at some point, so having someone who can use a computer (and a spell) is a good idea.

What skill Johnny had with a computer, well, he technically never had it ^:-). Now, if he hacks a computer, no one will be. Using it.

I just had a disturbing image of Mooncutter throwing a computer at/to me and Johnny going "Batter Up!"

In reply to Ash (Alex Wilson) (msg # 29):

Welcome!

Welcome to the game.
