[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4475736, member: 710"] I wasn't around when this happened, but as I understood, the Torg adventures all became part of the "metaplot" of that Universe. Apparantly (at least that's how my resident original Torg players explained), WEG then produced their modules and asked for player feedback on how they turned out, and went with a "majority" vote to advance the plot according to these experiences. The story seems to work pretty well as such - and it definitely brings some important changes to the setting, without ever removing the core premises. The Maelstrom Bridges are built, and Core Earth is attacked by the Realities. The Gaunt Man that coordinated the various attacks was "beaten" by the first Storm Knights (as was also novelized - I am not sure if this was also part of the modules itself). The PCs venture to recover the Destiny Map and find the Possibility Chalice, fighting various major figures in the Possiblity Wars, and a further Reaility eventually managing to build their Maelstorm Bridg, and eventually they confront a returned Gaunt Man. The major turns in the major plot seems to be the defeat of the Gaunt Man and the arrival of the Tharkoldi and the Space Gods, without ever changing the settings major concepts. [/QUOTE]
