Torg: Oh, the Drama (deck)!

[thebitterguy]

I found my copy of Torg 1.5 today (contemplating getting a game together for it), and tucked inside was a printout of the various Infiniverse cards that were mailed out that had been compiled onto one sheet.
The first five are neat, with one for the Living Land, one for Nile, Orrorsh, Aysle & the Cyberpapacy (no Nippon card on this sheet, though. I wonder if they did one?).

The last card is the cute one.

Card #666 is entitled "Aarrggg!!!"

In both Standard and Dramatic scenes it gives the Villains an Up and the Heroes a Setback. The Dramatic Skill Box is a Critical Problem.

The Player Effect is Deathwish:

Subplot Character is offered a chance to destroy himself and love (sic) ones instantly or play a Keefee Haroo template!

The highlight is the Approved Action: DIE HORRIBLY.

I suspect this was an April's Fool card.

Yeah, that must have been an April Fool's card. :)

I still have my first edition of Torg: The Possibility Wars in the boxed set, and have several extra sets of Drama Deck cards. I've been debating selling off the Torg stuf at CanGames this year. *sigh*

About 5 or 6 years ago, I managed to find a copy of Torg at Gencon UK four something like 5 Pounds. Also found a small handful of worldbooks for around 1-3 Pounds each. This sent me on a quest to aquire the rest of the game line. Right now I have pdfs of teh Infinivers newsletters, the entire game line, and almost all the novels.

All I am missing is the d20 from the boxed set (an impossible find) and one of the novels.

Torg is among my top games for best of all time.
