So a few friends in our gaming group have decided to have a weekend of 'other' games. In lieu of our regular Pathfinder or Starfinder games, we have figured on having an 'anthology' weekend, where we each get to preview a new RPG that the group hasn't played.
So far, the others are bringing Delta Green, Cyberpunk, and Call of Cthulhu. Each should be pretty interesting, and I've never played any of those games of any previous version.
For me, I'm bringing Torg: Eternity. The revised edition of the old West End Games multi-reality RPG. This new one maintains the basic rules of the orignal, while amping the action to eleventy and giving a lot more depth and awesomeness to each Cosm.
For those who may not know, Torg was designed by the original Star Wars RPG company, West End Games, back in the early 1990s. The idea was that other realities have invaded our 'Core Earth' to steal our possibility energy, as ours is the richest the Reality Raiders have ever found. To do this, the invading Cosms overlay their reality onto ours. So, in parts of North America, the Living Land has overlaid our reality with a primitive one, where technology doesn't work. The characters take the role of Storm Knights, those fighting the invading High Lords to beat them back from our reality.
I'm looking forward to running the game. Back in the 90s, it was one of our go-to games, and it suits a cinematic, action-movie style that is a lot of fun.
Hopefully we'll have some new campaign ideas by the time we're done.
