Drama Deck

         In Torg, there is a Drama Deck of 156 cards. Each card has three sections: (1) conflict line, (2) dramatic skill resolution box, and (3) play results area. The first two are used in random draws. The third is used by players playing from a hand of cards.

         At the start of each session, each player gets four cards. After an action scene (during which various cards are played), the players refresh back to four cards. There are several exceptions:

• Subplot Cards are put down and remain in play for as long as the subplot continues.
• ....
