In TORQ, you are a driver: a traveller with special talents who ventures from community-to-community to help in anyway they can (touchstones: Mad Max, Death Stranding, Redline).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTORQ: Operator Manual is a 100-page, 8.5” x 5.5” full-color perfectbound book with photography, illustrations, and all the rules needed to play.

Powered by a unique tactical system, drivers dodge obstacles, investigate oddities, and thrash those who stand against them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReststop, a character-focused roleplaying game where drivers visit communities, bringing their special talents to those who need it.

Is that a disaster, an apocalypse, a choice? Create and play vignettes of this weirded-world, a world where people and communities strike a truce with the hostile environment, surviving and thriving in a post-anthropocene world. TORQ’s world is more humanistic than its post-apocalyptic predecessors: this is not a game for prepper-power fantasy, gun nut brinksmanship, or a rehash of feudalism. TORQ’s world is one of many communities living independently and together, tied together by the driver’s who make it from point A to point B, mutual aid, and the weird world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn your game of TORQ, create that world and those places, inhabit the people finding connection and joy in a different world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWriting by Will Jobst\u003cbr\u003e\nIllustration by Gabriel Reis\u003cbr\u003e\nPhotography by Ben Garbow\u003cbr\u003e\nDesign by Will Jobst\u003cbr\u003e\nEditing by Seb Pines\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bards \u0026 Cards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46629134926036,"sku":"GLP03","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/2309\/8324\/files\/image_8083b6be-5af5-406c-b495-db0262d3f319.jpg?v=1762933821","url":"https:\/\/role-players.shop\/products\/torq","provider":"Role-Players","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
