This is old news, I know, but due to my personal inactivity, I was unaware of the final nail being driven into West End Games' already caulked, sealed, and buried five-and-a-half feet under coffin:
http://www.geeknative.com/6969/west-end-games-finally-closes-torg-to-be-sold/
None of the other crap about Septimus, D6, or any other of West End's line is as important to me as TORG, of course, which was sold to a German company, Ulisses Spiele (http://www.ulisses-spiele.de/ - It's in German, so a translator may do you well), which as of now has no mention of TORG anywhere. To me, this means a solemn goodbye to my second favorite game setting.
Will this stop me from my quest to revive my own TORG campaign? Hells, no! It will be sad to see no official second edition or re-release of the main line, but whatcha gonna do?
Oh, my favorite setting? Earthdawn.

Welcome to Malleable Reality
(Before we start, I want it to be known that I came up with this name having never heard the Jason Mraz song. It actually came from a Mage: the Ascension fiction I wrote many, many years ago.
Now that that's out of the way...)
Welcome to Malleable Reality!
This blog and its associated podcast are dedicated to and produced for those who like to change the reality they associate with by reading, writing, or storytelling a new one over the top of it. Readers, writers, and game masters alike will find something worthwhile here.
I will link articles that catch my eye about fiction, writing, and role playing here and, of course, will offer my several cents' worth on them. I will also post my own personal adventures in writing, be it my fiction or my attempts to restart my flagging roleplaying game life. Chief among these, for now, is my attempt to resurrect TORG and converting it to the Savage Worlds rules. I will post my successes and failures in such here, along with the insights I come up with during this journey.
I'll try not to bore you too much with my failed attempts at novel writing, mainly because that's on the back burner for the time being. But replacing it will be...
[trumpet fanfare]THE MALLEABLE REALITY PODCAAAAAAST!!!!![/trumpet fanfare]
Yes, I will be doing a podcast! Will it be regular? Who knows? but I'll shoot for once every other week for now, and if I get into a groove, move it up from there. The contents of the podcast will be include gaming news, writing news, and sharing experiences from my years of gaming and gamemastering.
Will I have guests? Woah, Silver. Let's get established first. Besides, I need to learn how to record Skype calls before that happens.
Anyway, this is the virtual bottle of champagne christening this ball of wax. Let's hope this ship goes somewhere!
For now, though, Power Off!
