INTRODUCTION
Location: Briefing room aboard the USS Theodore
Roosevelt.
“Three months ago the world as we knew it changed. Strange bridges descended from the sky in various places around the planet, and where they landed reality itself bent and changed. Invaders crossed the bridges and now they’re turning Earth into something else, piece by piece. The clash of realities creates storms, and a few special people are changed by the storm. They become heroes, the best version of themselves from this or an alternate reality. You and those seated in this room are some of those people.”

The Possibility Wars have raged for almost a year. The Storm Knights are already a team that’s been working together for weeks. They are stationed in Lincoln University, a hardpoint inside the Living Land. In fact, it’s one of the last remaining hardpoints in Missouri. Edeinos raids overwhelmed and destroyed the others. The team’s mission here was two-fold: defend the Core Earth foothold in the zone against edeinos raiders, and scout the surrounding area for Wonders. Lincoln University’s campus is heavily fortified.
This is an adventure created for GenCon 2017 and run at special events. It offers the Storm Knights a choice between saving the inhabitants of a hardpoint, uprooting a stela, and making a key discovery about a potential ninth cosm. Based on the results of those adventures the default map changed and the guilt of the elves was revealed—what will happen in your world?
Torg Eternity – Death of the Mystery Men
Pay What you Want
This is a special adventure created for GenCon 2018. It determines the fate of the Mystery Men, whether they remain a factor within the Nile Empire after the death of Dr. Frest or they are eliminated to make way for new heroes. It also offers the first look at an alliance between High Lords. This is a Beta Clearance adventure, and the appropriately leveled Mystery Men themselves are included so you can play as the survivors looking for the rest of their team. At the end of the adventure there’s a survey so the GM can record the choices players made, and those choices will be referenced in the game line going forward!
It’s near the end of the first year of the Possibility War. Dr. Frest is gone, and Dr. Mobius has started targeting the rest of the Mystery Men to eliminate them one by one. He’s found a pocket reality and learned more about his own origin and how it relates to The Egypt That Never Was—but more than that it’s a reality without the Law of Inevitable Return.
He’s caught several Mystery Men and entombed them in this dangerous place, and carefully set a trap to lead the rest—or some equally powerful and troublesome heroes into the same doom. And he’s brought in a powerful ally to make certain things go his way this time!

Torg Eternity – Free RPG Day Special
They came from other cosms—other realities—conquerors joined together to steal the Earth’s living energy…to consume its possibilities. The Possibility Raiders brought with them their own realities, turning portions of our planet into someplace else.
High Lord Baruk Kaah, a lizard-like humanoid from a world called Takta Ker (which literally translates to “The Living Land”), rules a primeval, mist-shrouded realm that now stretches across wide swaths of North America.
But you were just an ordinary person living an ordinary life on the day the Maelstrom Bridge crashed down and New York began to transform…
