Torg Designer Diary – August 2018
The Ins and Outs of Dramatic Skill Resolution
Hi Storm Knights,
Deanna suggested this month I do a deep dive on Dramatic Skill Resolution (DSR), and I think that’s a great idea. DSR’s were a major feature of the original TORG, and they’re very similar in Torg Eternity, but not identical. There’s some tricky nuances to explore, and some design tips to cover for GM’s creating their own. It’s easy to go off the rails, even in the published adventures.
Wrath & Glory Post Gen Con FAQ
In an effort to speed up my getting back on top of all the work, I present this post-Gen Con FAQ for Wrath & Glory. These cover a lot of the most common questions I am seeing. If you have asked one of these in a direct message, this is your answer.
Wrath & Glory Campaign Cards
The Pre-Order is almost over, and we have been busy behind the scenes getting everything ready to go! We had mentioned the various card packs in a previous post, and in that post we had previewed one of the Campaign Cards. We are happy to announce that all of those are now finished, including the 10 promo cards!
That means that we should be able to send them out to pre-order customers along with the Core Rules in the week after Gen Con!
In the meantime, we wanted to show you a few of those cards to give you a better sense of this deck.
