This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

This is Torg...

I'd love to do it with Sixcess Core, but I definitely don't have the fundage for the rights.

I'm working on one, that's the main subject of the aforementioned blog.

You might get a kick out of one of my most recent posts, regarding the system: "Destiny is Not a Storygame".

I will confess, it's a result of much of what I've read here. (Not that I would ever have made a storygame.) As such, take it as another symbol of your triumphant victory. :p

When I get something more finalized, I'll be posting in the game design forum. Feel free to comment, if you've the time and the mind to do so.

Quote from: Grymbok;585287I know that chart-based systems are utterly out of vogue in RPG design, but personally I find them very useable and quite elegant in their own way. Hell I could probably run Torg again now given just the GM's screen and a drama deck.

I don't think I ever heard anyone refer to TORG as "elegant" before you.

I was thinking more of things like FASERIP when I referred to chart-based systems as elegant. TORG is a bit more like a tricked-out hot rod.

I would say more of a very charming clunker.
