I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking I'd play papers & paychecks very differently given a second playthrough.
I hear ya on that one...
Which, of course, reminds me of the classic cartoon...

What was that early RPG where you had to roll up your character's career randomly, but one of the entries on the table was "God"? I read about it in Murphy's Rules.I don't care, as long as I'm the Gamemaster.
I wasn't sure I should even mention Torg, but since you did! In Torg Eternity (the reboot), Core Earthers aren't that boring, they have a pretty good lock on cool Reality Perks. I think if it weren't for the bleed of crummy Orrorsh rules into every other cosm, undermining the whole point of multi-genre play, it would be interesting to live in that world. Just stay out of Tharkold and Orrorsh for sure.Other than that maybe TORG. Might be interesting being a transformed Elven Monk though, being born where I actually was, I'd likely end up as a boring Core Earther.
Even Tharkold is better than Orrorsh. That Cosm is like a CoC game where the Old Ones are on steroids. I really need to give the second edition books a rerad-through. Maybe once I get the last one; Pan Pacifica (what used to be called Nippon Tech).I wasn't sure I should even mention Torg, but since you did!

Definitely maxing charisma and taking the Windfall feat at level 1.I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking I'd play papers & paychecks very differently given a second playthrough.
Any game where the advice for adventuring in a particular area is "take a substitute character" has failed, in my opinion. They could have set it up for classically Call of Cthulhu type play and for "just visiting" type horror, but nope, they infected the whole rest of the game with that awful Corruption mechanic, completely stripped of any dramatic heft from the original Torg (of which I haven't read much, but I did read the Orrorsh book).Even Tharkold is better than Orrorsh.

My GM has the preview, they've changed a lot in Pan-Pacifica; the martial arts perks are a bit off the hook. That'd be a cool cosm to live in too, as long as you keep your nose clean and have lots of money. Of course, Storm Knights don't keep their noses clean!Maybe once I get the last one; Pan Pacifica (what used to be called Nippon Tech).
I played the original, when it first came out, for something like 5 years. I know that we screwed up on one mechanic but, as I remember it, it made the game all the more fun. My favourite character was a Nile Mystery Man who had a Super Spirit attribute and Super Firearms skill.Any game where the advice for adventuring in a particular area is "take a substitute character" has failed, in my opinion.

I have the preview as well, but have barely skimmed it. I was mainly interested in how they had changed the background so immediately went to the section on the Kanawa twins.My GM has the preview, they've changed a lot in Pan-Pacifica; the martial arts perks are a bit off the hook.
