Roleplaying the Possibility Wars

TORG is a roleplaying game originally created by West End Games and owned by WEG's successor, D6Legend. It gives a system and setting for roleplaying in the world of the Possibility Wars, in which Earth is invaded by a number of "Somewhere Else"s with their own people and their own realities, seeking to claim Earth's possibilities for their own.

What is this web site?

This web site offers most of what you need in order to use Wizards of the Coast's d20 System as a means for roleplaying the Possibility Wars. In addition to the material hereon, you will need a d20 core rulebook such as The Wheel of Time Roleplaying Game or the Star Wars Roleplaing Game, published by Wizards of the Coast. Until licensing is available for some or all of the rules used herein, you will need both of the above.

As much of this web site is presented as Open Game Content as can be under the Open Game License 1.0a. You should read the following license and familiarize yourself with how you may use the various parts of the website.

The d20 TORG website (all files accessible through URLs that begin with "http://www.oocities.org/starspectre/games/TORG/", or through other URLs which alias or redirect to those files) contains Open Game Content and Product Identity as described in the Open Gaming License v1.0a, following in this file. The aforementioned website also contains material the use of which has not been licensed under the Open Game License and which could be considered unlicensed use of copyrighted material. This material is not being used herein for a personally profitable purpose and should not be republished, nor should it be used for any pecuniary gain.

The d20 TORG website is formatted using version 4.0 of the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and HTML tags and attributes are used to distinguish Open Game Content, Product Identity, Unlicensed Content and Privately Held Content. In the following descriptions, the phrase 'content designated as [attr]' means all text, exluding HTML tags, contained within an HTML tag which bears the attribute "CLASS=[attr]", or non-text material such as artwork which is included in a page by means of a reference using an OBJECT, IMG or similar tag which bears the attribute "CLASS=[attr]". Non-text material is only designated as a particular kind of content if the tag used to refer to the file containing that material bears the appropriate attribute, even if that tag is contained within a tag which does bear the appropriate attribute. Thus, 'content designated as "OGC"' means all text excluding HTML tags which is contained within tags that bear the attribute 'CLASS="OGC",' as well as all non-text material which is included using a reference tag bearing the attribute 'CLASS="OGC".' If a tag designating content with a particular type is contained within a tag designating its contents with a different type, the inner tag overrides the outer tag with respect to describing the contents of the inner tag.

In many cases, Cascading Style Sheet technology (CSS) is used to display content so as to make readily visible of what type is the content. However, as the d20 TORG website can be viewed without seeing these CSS display enhancements, you should view the HTML source code for a page if you wish to verify the type of any content thereof.

Content designated as "OGC" is Open Game Content and its use is governed entirely through the Open Game License v1.0a. Users viewing the website using CSS should see this text displayed on a background showing the d20 System logo at a 45-degree angle.

This website contains Product Identity belonging to D6Legend, Inc. The Product Identity includes the name "TORG," the concepts and events of the Possiblity Wars, the concept of Storm Knights, the names and qualities of various "cosms" and "world laws,", and any character, creature, location, ability, spell or miracle originally described in any TORG material published by West End Games or D6Legend, Inc. before January 1st, 2002 C.E., excepting the mechanics needed to use such elements in a d20 compatible game, as well as any content designated as "WEG", even if contained within Open Game Content.

The Product Identity is used under license according to the following text provided by D6Legend, Inc.

"In essence, you cannot reprint word for word any materials that appear in any of our published books, though you may paraphrase the material or cite two or three sentences from several pages in each book. You may not post any images from the books on the Web. You may, however, post anything that you have created for the game."

Content designated as "unlWoT" is unlicensed content derived from the Wheel of Time Roleplaying Game published by Wizards of the Coast, Inc. Viewing the website using CSS will display this content on a background of a red exclamation point crossed over a seven-spoked wheel.
