[QUOTE="Gargoyle, post: 500032, member: 529"] [B] [/b] D20 Torg would be cool for many of the same reasons you would want to convert any other aging combined RPG setting/system: 1. It would be easier for new players to learn d20 Torg than the old system. It's like pulling teeth to get my players to try something other than D&D, much less a non-d20 system. 2. Many people, some who posted above, loved the Torg campaign, not the system. 3. While I agree that the Torg system ran very well, it wasn't perfect and could use some improvement. A new version of the system could work even better. And d20 Modern could be used to build it. 4. Homebrew or not, if it's what I'm after, that's what I'll do. It's a hobby for me, after all, and building it is part of the fun.

You could take parts of it, like the drama deck or subplots, or just psionic powers, spells, gadget rules, martial art rules, equipment, yadda yadda yadda, and seamlessly insert them into your D&D, d20 Modern, or Spycraft game. I have no doubt there are others who love Torg like it is and have no interest in a d20 version of Torg. But making d20 Torg wouldn't hurt them. If someone did it, it would give them new campaign material, something they haven't had for years. BTW: I wouldn't think of running d20 Torg without the drama deck or subplots... There are a lot of non-d20 things that I would convert. Playing Torg without the drama deck would be like playing D&D without dice...
