Magipunk is probably a better term.

But justa minute now ... TORG has GOT to be one of the greatest ideas for a game setting ever. I still say so.

Pity it had such incomprehensible (to me) rules. :\

LOL..Yeah basically they couldn't decide on a setting and used all of them at once, mushing them together.

The rules aren't that inscrutable. I still have the game actually.

Well ... your rules-grokking ability WAS always keener than mine, so I am not surprised. :\

Actually TORG has a lot of Steampunk in it. The New Nile Empire was the one with the weird Egyptian magic infused 1930s gizmos IIRC.

Then tere was TWO Cyberpunk Cosms with the Cyberpapacy and Nippon Tech.

Almost all the Cosms had Pulp influences. Except Aysle (that was Tolkien fantasy)

Than Steampunk. It's Magipunk. Magical technology, and realy, most of it makes sense.

TORG was my first favorite game and proberly my favorite non-DnD game. I wish they tried to do a D20 of it. I was scarf it up instantly..... before the Gaunt Man got it.

The rules were simple from what I remember. The most was if you rolled a ten or twenty you rolled again creating a "super critical"

I recall Audio Smith rolling several four twenties in a row. Just as he reached the mage trying to magically empower a nuke. Beautiful moment. Beheaded him in one punch.
