Out of Character Thread

Here is where you can post notices of absences or offer out-of-character remarks that apply to the situation at hand. Another thread will be for combat planning.

Out of Character Thread

Are we full-on playing at this point? I thought we had a player pending, so don't want to run away with things before everyone's established.

Full disclosure: I've never played Torg before, and am still going through the rulebook, so I'll need to ask for patience and probably some assistance as we go along, as I have a day job and a family. :)

We have six players, but if our 7th gets a character going, I'll adjust.

I'm expecting that there will be rules questions abounding, as this game was started with the idea that some people needed to learn.

Re: Out of Character Thread

I have been involved in TORG since 1990, and Eternity since before the Core Kickstarter. I am happy to answer questions, however.

TORG has the best in game reason for "GM's Word is law"...every Storyteller's game is literally a different Multiverse. My answers can be perfectly correct by RAW, and still be wrong for this GM, or Just for this game, so keep that in mind.

In reply to Johnny Ichii (msg # 4):

That's true. I am using a few things out of the experimental rules file called "The Cassandra Files" for example.

Re: Out of Character Thread

Hey gang, my apologies, but I need to cut my time here short. I've just been hired to do a Halloween show for the month of October and we go into a fast round of rehearsals next week. Between that, my day job, and my wife & kids, I'm out of time for this.

Hopefully it's early enough days that you can find someone to jump in and take this character over, since I think he's a good fit and can help out.

GM, can you please remove me, with my thanks and all best wishes?

Good luck! :)

In reply to Mooncutter (msg # 6):

I will put you in as a lurker, with the character in reserve. Don't worry, I won't feed you to a T-Rex.

If you are in a position to come back, just PM me.

Re: Out of Character Thread

I have made characters out of the combatants, with the relevant information you will need. You can look at the character sheets to see your difficulty numbers. If you see a - in an interaction skill, it means the creature can't be affected by it.

We can only see our own CS. Can you put Clif notes in the Descriptions?
