Big disclaimer: This is a free booklet. You will not regret downloading it and taking a peek inside.

A useful quickstart set to test the game, but lacking in terms of explanations for a GM new to the system. While the basics of the setting are covered by this booklet, the larger universe of TORG isn't, making it harder for a new GM to answer questions on the fly due to next to no familiarity with the world. Sure, you can easily give an answer, you think is plausible and move the game along, but I always approach these quickstarters from the perspective of a player or GM unfamiliar with roleplaying games. The texts being quick to read and to the point is really helpful for reading, some aspects could have been fleshed out a little more though. This is not a glaring fault, just a little problem - and the booklet has a few of those. Next are the individual sections, which provide a general overview without any more specifics for each individual scene. Again, I came up with descriptions of New York merged with the Living Land by myself and it worked for my group of players. If you lack an idea, how exactly you should imagine the invading cosm though, you're left utterly alone. This is especially annoying, when you do not know the setting in-depth yet - probably the main reason you use this booklet to test TORG - and a few more paragraphs to the overgrown streets, an apartment building full of feral humans or the other locations would have made it easier, to bring them to life in-game. Nothing a GM cannot fix on their own, just a possible stumbling block for someone approaching this setting without prior knowledge. Over all, you - as the GM - should be comfortable to add a lot of the detail and often entire motivations to the scenes presented, which serve as a basic skeleton for the adventure. It has its charm though and the mechanics might seem a little clunky at first, but flow surprisingly well from the start. For a short promotional adventure, you could get something worse and the creative freedom to work off of this outline can be very enjoyable. Just know, that work is required, if you plan to do more than roll a few skill checks, present two or three read-aloud texts and then have the adventure draw to a close.

Tried this out with a new group of role players recently and we loved it. I'm glad it came with pregen characters and the charts to quickly reference the rules needed to get into the action quick. I initially thought it was going to be a quick game but leave it to the players to veer off the straighforward plot to turn the end into a cliffhanger with an exciting chase scene and blockade run. You don't need the core rulebook to figure things out but it certainly helps. Highly recommended for a fun night, even for newbies.

You can see the infulences of the Savage Worlds system (common games designer) with this rewrite. Saying that, don't be put off; it's a good rewrite; streamlined system whilst still keeping the feel of the original.

It still has the (updated) drama deck (inlcuding cosm specific cards) and d20 to bonus chart lookup system. The system now has 3 levels of success (success, outstanding etc.) which will make story telling much easier ('so I got a +9 over the difficult, how much of a success is that?'). There are bonus damage dice (dependant on success level) instead of just the attack bonus; which adds to the system and stops the 'glass jaw ninja' problem. There are now only 5 stats (Str. Dex. Mind. Cha. Spirit) instead of the original 7(?) which again makes things simplier.

They have introduced a Perks system (kind of like feats in D&D or advantages in GURPS or Savage Worlds) which if kind of cool, but this limits the number of special abilities you can have (magic spells, psonics etc.). This will probably be the first thing I change in any in-house rules.

The magic, psonics and miracles system have all been aligned, which makes things easier to run, but means that they all feel the same. There are no longer magic knowledge adds to give the magic system a bit of flavour, so it will be interesting how they write up the new spell creation system (the old spell creation system I really enjoyed!!).

The Story has been updated and seems a lot darker, while still keeping the action orientated feel of the original; which I prefer like. Although I alway thought that Orrosh shouldn't be action orientated (it should be more CoC), but having the change of pace and play style can put some players off.

There are only a couple of mechanics you can take from the new system and bring over to the old system to 'fix' the problems in the old system; BUT I think I will still run this version as is for a few games before trying that.

I only hope they being out a conversion system from the old to new system as I have a lot of old books that I don't want to throw away.

Awful reimagining of a classic game. Keeps the clunky, 30 year old mechanics and tosses out the parts that made it good. The mechanics of the game and weak characters actively fight the action-hero concepts that the game is supposed to be going for.

This was a fun adventure for my group of folks who had never played before to learn about the system and story!

I played this scenario with my regular group (I didnot run it) and it was fantastic.
