How is Tortured Earth different from other RPGs?

Tortured Earth is a unique, classless system that uses skill points for character advancement. The system is genre-less and easily integrates sci-fi, fantasy, and horror.

As a classless system, players may create their own specialty characters without the constraints of pre-defined limitations. Players may pick from a wide variety of playable species ranging from classic fantasy, aliens, insectoids, animal hybrids, and more.

Characters are awarded Skill Points as rewards for completing storylines, quests, or defeating adversaries. Skill Points are placed into Point Pools used to power skills and abilities. Advancement and basic operational mechanics are unified using a Ranking system. Once a player learns a single interactive system, they immediately know how all other systems operate - general skills and crafting, magic spells, psychic powers, and weapons.

Tortured Earth boasts a unique system for the casting of spells and psychic powers. Through fusion abilities, spellcasters may combine variants to unleash new effects. Psychics may focus their powers through psychic crystals to add additional status effects. At certain thresholds, new investment opportunities are available and fuse magic, psychic, and weapon abilities. 

From the Game Master perspective, the Mist can be used as a mechanic to transport characters from one genre to another or other worlds and realities. This mechanic allows the transition of characters between sci-fi, fantasy, and horror settings seamlessly without losing skills, assigned points, or equipment.

 

Tortured Earth

Imagine that within the next hour, your computer screen turns RED. The only words visible are 'The Gate is Open. Beware the Mist'. Every computer, television, tablet, and cell phone on the planet has the same message. An hour later, it abruptly ends. Twelve hours from the initial Broadcast, every human in New York City instantly vanishes. 

The world continues to unravel as magic, aliens, telepaths, and far worse flood through random cracks in reality. Reality itself has lost the ability to keep barriers in place. Magic and its associated species mingle with future civilizations and alternate realities in which humans never existed.

Tortured Earth is a world torn by plague, warring species and factions, and fragmented civilizations. The few remaining humans have learned to coexist with their alien neighbors. Some have formed strong communities to combat the terrors that have come through the Mist. 

The only sign that a crack is forming is the odd atmospheric depression causing a dense mist. Those who enter The Mist don't always return. Those who return from The Mist are never the same. Many that didn't disappear after encountering the Mist have instead mutated into a hybridization of animals, insects, or other unrecognizable species. 

Welcome to our Tortured Earth. Beware the Mist.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.
