In the October 1992 edition of Dragon (#186), Rick Swan gave the book a thumbs up, and described it as "beasts, creeps and freaks that comprise the most stomach-turning menagerie this side of a splatter-film festival... all of it nicely done." Swan also noted that "The book's authors are the winners of a contest sponsored by West End's Infiniverse newsletter that challenged the readers to come up with 'the most loathsome, hideous, evil, repulsive, repugnant, horrifying, and disgusting creatures ever created for a role-playing game.' Mission accomplished." [3]
Torg is a cinematic cross-genre tabletop role-playing game created by Greg Gorden and Bill Slavicsek, with art by Daniel Horne. It was first published by West End Games (WEG) in 1990. Game resolution uses a single twenty-sided die, drama cards and a logarithmic results table, which later formed the basis for WEG's 1992 sci-fi RPG Shatterzone and 1994 universal RPG Masterbook. WEG produced over fifty supplements, novels and comics for the first edition. A revised and expanded core rule book was produced in 2005, with a single adventure. After WEG closed in 2010, Torg was sold to Ulisses Spiele, who, after a successful crowdfunding campaign, published a new edition called Torg: Eternity in 2018.
A gamemaster's screen, also called a GM's screen, is a gaming accessory, usually made out of either cardboard or card stock, and is used by the gamemaster to hide all the relevant data related to a tabletop role-playing game session from the players in order to not spoil the plot of the story. It also hides any dice rolls made by the gamemaster that players should not see. In addition, screens often have essential tables and information printed on the inside for the gamemaster to easily reference during play.
