Retro Torg, circa 1996
Torg | Campaign
About the adventure
The year is 1996, the Cold War is over, the economy is booming, all is right with the world, until... The best way to describe Torg is to say that it is a cinematic, multi-genre, pan-dimensional apocalypse. That's a mouthful, but it paints a clear picture, doesn't it? Alternate realities have invaded a 1990's Bruce Willis action movie version of Earth. Each of the invading realities corresponds to a different form of speculative fiction: -a high fantasy/Tolkien realm -a cyberpunk realm -a 1930's pulp comic book realm -a mega-corporate dystopian near-future realm -a Land of the Lost/prehistoric realm -a Lovecraftian horror realm. In Torg, PCs are called Storm Knights. They can come from any of the realms, or even be a "Core Earther". Together, they have devoted themselves to the fight to save Earth from the invading realities.

Jon is an absolutely amazing story teller with a very creative mind. I've always found great enjoyment playing any games with him. He's just an overall wonderful person and GM.
Joan
Jon has an amazing ability to create a dynamic immersing experience that is extremely engaging beyond belief. I love the way he easily explains the rules. His guidance around the rules is really easy to follow. i love playing with Jon and would recommend him to everyone. Jon has even led campaigns for high school students who still ask for him till this day.

How to prepare
A mic and a Roll20 account are a necessity, webcams optional. That is all.
What I provide
I'll admit, I struggle with voices, however I am very experienced with this particular game, and have run it on Roll20 many times. I have a pro level Roll20 account, and I am very accomplished with using the platform to its fullest potential, including: music, custom maps, character sheets, tokens, handouts. All of the game's sourcebooks will be available in electronic format.
Gameplay details
A confidential questionnaire will be provided to all players. I usually use open-ended questions rather than a checklist, where things can be missed. If you would rather use a checklist, by all means, I will provide a form with the Monte Cook model.

How will character creation work
Character creation in Torg can be very simple, depending on what you want to play. Templates are available in Roll20, but unique characters can be built completely from scratch. Pretty much any action hero, from any genre can be built in Torg. It will all be covered during session 0, or free individual follow-up sessions between sessions 0 and 1.
