In January 2015 our first Torg Bundle presented classic 1990s multi-genre tabletop roleplaying ebooks with everything you need to get started as a Storm Knight in the Possibility Wars. Like no other RPG before it, Greg (Earthdawn) Gorden’s Torg mashed genres together into one expansive world, and this huge hand-picked bundle, featuring some of the greatest RPG writers of the 1990s, was your easiest way into it.
Our Player’s Collection (retail value $47) included DRM-free .PDF ebooks of the updated core rules, player’s guide, pregen characters, a weapons book, and a spellbook:
- Torg: Revised & Expanded (retail $15): Originally published in 1990 by West End Games, Torg has a new lease on life with German publisher Ulisses Spiele. This updated corebook includes the Worldbook and Adventure Book from the original West End set and the “Drama Deck” of cinematic action.
- Torg Introductory Pack (retail $2): Simplified rules, a sample character, and a tutorial mini-adventure, plus the Storm Knights novel.
- Storm Knights’ Guide to the Possibility Wars (retail $9): New character generation rules, skills, equipment, and more for every Torg player.
- Torg Character Collection (retail $9): Sixty unique Torg characters to use as your own or set in the world as allies or adversaries.
- Kanawa Personal Weapons (retail $7): Firearms, cyberweapons, lasers, explosives, and espionage armaments of many tech levels.
- Pixaud’s Practical Grimoire (retail $5): The definitive guide to magic and spell design in Torg.
Customers who paid more than the threshold price also received our Gamemaster’s Collection with all the best cosm sourcebooks, the GM’s guide, and three location books (retail value $79):
- High Lords’ Guide to the Possibility Wars (retail $9): Invaluable advice for the Torg GM.
- Delphi Council Worldbook (retail $9): The sourcebook of Core Earth, holding down the front against the encroaching cosms.
- The Cyberpapacy (retail $9): In this cosm, cyberpunk collides with the French Inquisition. The single best-regarded Torg sourcebook.
- The GodNet (retail $5): Rules for jacking into cyberspace and netrunning in the 1990s style.
- The Nile Empire (retail $9): Dr. Mobius has turned Africa into a pulp playground — except with pharaohs and hieroglyphs. This pulpy cosm was the most popular Torg setting.
- Nippon Tech (retail $9): The megacorporate cosm of High Lord 3327 occupies most of Asia.
- Tharkold (retail $9): High Lord Jezrael’s army of techno-horror demons has made Los Angeles a living nightmare.
- Creatures of Tharkold (retail $5): …And here are the techno-horror demons doing the nightmare-ing.
- Berlin Citybook and Los Angeles Citybook (retail $5 each): Two urban battlegrounds for the cosms featured in this offer.
- Tokyo Citybook (retail $5): Stronghold of the monolithic Kanawa Corporation and its enigmatic executive, High Lord 3327.
If you paid full price for all these .PDFs, you’d spend nearly $126!
In March 2015 we followed this offer with a sequel Torg Bundle +2 that presented all the remaining cosm sourcebooks and all the important supplements. Together these two offers gave you every important book in the Torg line.

First of all, this is an amazing deal – I’ve got some of these in print, but it’s worth it for electronic versions. One small question — the Adventure book from the original box set isn’t available anywhere currently, and it’s the only piece that is not. Is there any way it could be added to the Bundle?
Awesome, it’s really appreciated! I also want to make both you and Ulisses Spiele aware that there is a page missing from the Storm Knights guide. The text ends at page 87, but there appears to have been another page of text before the character sheets (as the paragraph ends mid-sentence). Thank you for such awesome stuff!
Well, drat! The original scan is apparently missing a page. We’ll try to fix that, but it will require some legwork.
We’ve added the Adventure book from the original Torg boxed set to the Torg Bundle, and Ulisses Spiele has added the book to the Torg Version 1.5 rulebook files on DriveThruRPG.
Hi, this is a really excellent bundle, but I have one criticism: The Torg Rules make a number of references to the Torg World Book, which is as I am given to understand was an overview of the basic setting information of the world. Is there any way of acquiring this? As the setting is incredibly dense and I’d really appreciate a nice easy entry point.
We’re working on it. The Revised & Expanded “Version 1.5” Torg rulebook in this offer refers to an “Accessory Pack” that apparently consists of the original Torg set’s Worldbook and Adventure Book. These don’t seem to be available on DriveThruRPG from the current owner, Ulisses Spiele. We may be able to offer the original Worldbook, if we can get the owner’s permission.
Great! Thanks for getting back to me. Again, really great buddle.
We tracked down the Worldbook from the original West End Games Torg boxed set, and we’ve added it to the Torg Bundle. Customers can find the Worldbook on their Wizard’s Cabinet download page at the Bundle of Holding site, along with the files for the Torg Revised & Expanded rules.
Torg publisher Ulisses Spiele tells us they’ll add the Worldbook to the Revised & Expanded rules sold on DriveThruRPG, and previous purchasers will receive the Worldbook automatically in their DTrpg Library.
This is the one I’ve been really hoping for for a while.
