After Origins in 2003, I will no longer be running Torg events at conventions. I still love the game, of course. But like all of us, I've only got so much time, and I'd like to use it showcasing newer products. Consequently, I'll be focusing on Unknown Armies and the Buffy the Vampire Slayer RPG for at least the next year or so.
That said, since Torg is still one of my great loves, and I know that this site is linked to by several others, I'll be happy to post any Torg event that you might be running at an upcoming convention. Just send me the information and I'll put it up here.
All games are 4 hours long unless indicated otherwise in the Adventure Titles, Times, and GMs column.
This table uses the following color scheme to identify the game system:

None. I'll be attending as a player. | But I just might bring a scenario (or two) to run as a pick-up game. |

Venture to Sin City (Torg) Fri, 1800 GM: F. Scott Wilson |
A new reality has invaded Earth! Relatively weak and unheralded, it is dangerous nonetheless. Brave Storm Knights must go to Las Vegas, now styled Sin City, to find out who is behind the invasion, and why. Newbies always welcome, bring a favorite character, or I can provide one. No prior experience saving the world is necessary, but a sense of humor, especially a salacious one, will help...a lot! Points given for especially good role-playing, and determining the World Laws of the new reality. |

"Oh! Listen to this, Buffy! 'The UC-Sunnydale gaming club is proud to host SunnyCon, a game convention. Everyone is invited to attend.' That sounds like a great way for us to meet other freshmen and... normal people! Doesn't it? I mean, 'cause, that would be cool…" | ||

Why has the Cyberpapacy established a base in the Living Land? Whose side is Nippon Tech on? And why is everyone talking about a football? |

Jaffa of
the Storm (Torg/StarGate) 3 hrs Thu, A slot Fri, B, D slots Sat, F, H slots Sun, K slot GM: Grant Vandervalk |
You have traveled between gates a thousand times; witnessed the distortion of space and time in a way you would never have believed possible, but is now a part of your everyday life. You quickly learned that it was necessary to undergo physical and mental rituals before entering, or else come out the other end frozen stiff suffering with muscle cramps, nausea and head-spin; certainly not ready for the inevitable combat. This journey, with but a couple more chevrons being dialed than usual, you had hoped would not be much different. However, no amount of preparation would have readied you for this. This dimthread, as Zeus called it, connects not only Olympus to the Earth you have been struggling against for some time now, but to a different Earth, an alternate Earth with many more possibilities - many in which success might be gained for your side. Zeus has sent you forth to place the artifacts he calls stalae, for Olympus will exist here again. You can feel the power of Zeus with you now, it travels alongside you, fighting back the reality which you are now invading, keeping it from changing you - the power of his storms protecting you. You must prepare yourself for entry to this new cosm, for you are the Jaffa of the Storm. |

Knights of the Storm (Torg) Time: TBA, 6 hrs GM: Grant Vandervalk |
Earth is besieged by invaders
from alternate realities. In the wake of the storms created between
conflicting realities, heroes who call themselves Storm Knights have
emerged. In the fantasy reality of Aysle, four such heroes have been sent
by Lady Pella Ardinay of the Light to secure holdings in the darkest
region of England.
[Grant Vandevalk e-mailed me to tell me that this is indeed his scenario, but he doesn't plan on running it at ConQuest in Palo Alto. In light of that, this listing should be considered suspect.] |
