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.

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.

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.

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! :)

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.

I am going for an intimidation on the GOTAKS should get a Vulnerable, will have post up within 90 minutes...work does not consider gaming a priority, go figure.

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?

In reply to Johnny Ichii (msg # 10):

Sure. I'm still figuring this out.

Done. I've also updated the Gamemaster character description to list the basics for the current reality.

Me too

You folks are doing great.  I had a lot more trouble with my Roll20 group the first time and I was using automated character sheets;-)

Given how I rolled extra high against the leader, I should roll +2d6 damage vs him. I rolled a 6 with the first die, which exploded to a 5. The next die was one. The total would be a...11? So 11+14 base damage=25, right?

Yes, just count 6's as 5s each time you roll one and roll again (otherwise it would be impossible to roll a '6' if that makes it easier to remember;-).

In reply to Case Morrow (msg # 16):

But I had a second die which got a 1. Separate from the 1st.

There are three gotaks. The leader and G2 are both Very Vulnerable, so they were vulnerable enough to earn you one bonus die on each of them. The leader's die exploded for 10, so that's a 24. The second one's bonus die was a 1, so that's 15 there. G3 was only Vulnerable so it wasn't high enough to earn a bonus die, so that's 14. I will use the mob rules to total both of the lesser gotak's Shock and if the total exceeds Shock limit, one will be dropped.

Strategy note: if none of the GOTAKS are dropped by end of player turn, I will play Flurry to rush one, if that is feasible.

And I wanted to mention to Classic Torg Players, the MultiTarget/Multiaction feature is significantly different from the One-on-Many. Not worse, maybe not better, but definitely different...do not let old things get in the way, like I did.

GM, could you add the M-16 to my character sheet?

In reply to Ash (Alex Wilson) (msg # 21):


A) this is From the first release, it may have been changed, but I didn't want to look for my new one.
B) I expect we got Short Burst A2s rather than full A1s, but our storyteller could correct me.
___1) that means you could have (possible had too) use 9 rounds, would have "Had a Bad Time on a 1-2, and got +2 to hit. Making your attack a 12 Fire Combat. Not enough for a Bonus Die, but close.
___2) You should also post Damage, now that you know it, 13 vs Tou 8, should be 1 wd 2 Shk
 or 3 downed Gospog to be short... again, if I have interpreted our GM Correctly.


Now I play Flurry and Dance!
