Torg Eternity – Free RPG Day Special is a role playing game supplement published by Ulisses Spiele. This is an adventure and all the rules needed to play it.
The supplement is available as a 16 page Pay What You Want PDF from DriveThruRPG. One page is the front cover and one the front matter.
In the front matter it explains that this is a special edition of Torg Eternity intended for demonstration purposes only and that things may vary from the full game.
Reality gives some background on the Possibility Wars and how Core Earth was invaded by the High Lords of other cosms. It gives some details on the Torg, Storm Knights, Core Earth, the Living Land and the scenario; the characters are ordinary people caught up in the invasion of New York at the beginning of the war, who become Storm Knights as a result.
The Rules gives the rules needed to play the adventure included in the supplement. At the end of the section, it explains that in the full game World Laws reinforce the changes to reality, Drama Cards add initiative and changes to the flow of combat, Destiny Cards give Storm Knights new options and more.
Invasion is a brief adventure. It has the newly-created Storm Knights going through a number of scenes in which they gain some knowledge of what’s going on and have to save various people and get everyone to the hospital. There are stats for the foes, some pre-generated characters and the final page is a character sheet.
Torg Eternity – Free RPG Day Special in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and, though short, has enough sections that these would have been useful. Navigation could be better. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of errors. There are a variety of colour illustrations, though they may not all be custom. Presentation is decent.
This supplement is a game in a book, something to act as a taster for Torg Eternity by having an adventure and everything needed to play it. It’s not a quickstart as such, but it does function in a similar way. Though short, this does provide everything needed to see if the game is one that players want to play, though the rest of the setting is set a year after when this adventure is set.
