 Sluggy Freelance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since Torg was covered in hair as the result of fueling a fog machine with Rogaine instead of propane, Reakk didn't recognize him and instead attacked Kiki's robotic Torg costume.
Meanwhile, Torg and Zoë are separated in the far past: Torg is mistaken as the leader of the Mercians, and since the real leader, Torgamous, is incapacitated, Torg acts in his place.
The Torg that was rescued (referred to as Alt-Alt-Torg) is not from the DoL, and is egocentric and inconsiderate; he attempts to take the glory of the rescue for himself and refuses to attend Alt-Zoë's funeral.

 HERO GAMES Discussion Boards - Torg HERO
Technically, all Torg mages not only know spells but have access to a large VPP, the amount of which they can access depends entirely on their skill and the time they put.
Essentially, Torg was just a generic system with a relatively simply game mechanic bolted on to limit the ability of characters to wield spells, miracles, psi and high tech all at the same time.
The first is to try and accurately recreate Torg mechanics, the second is to recreate the essence of Torg but using HERO for the core.

Torg was a roleplaying game written in the early 1990's that seems to have had a large appeal to physics majors and engineers.
I speculate that this is because of its ground of all its 'values' in the SI metrics (meter, kilogram, and second) and the use of a Base100 logarithm scale so that you can measure 'fairies' against 'dragons' and keep most things happy.
Of course whenever one of the physicists on the mailing lists wishes to make everything happy, you find out there are a lot of dingy corners that Torg hides various ugly details.

Flesh out the major beats for the act, deciding why that cosm has gotten involved, and how the players are going to interact with it.
Note that the "setting" doesn't always mean that the characters will physically travel to that cosm - though it does keep the more epic scale of TORG that way - only that the cosm will be the main opposition and the genre will set the tone for the act.
The plate "KXJ 974" might make you think of a certain TORG personality with a litle "X"-tra, and the cosms would be Tharkold, Space Gods, and Nile.
