I played Torg a few years back, I had forgotten about it.

Interesting game. Suffered a couple of serious mechanical problems-
why too much variance in it's core dice mechanic resulting in
characters that came across as undependable and thus incompentent and
unheroic. The other use was the card mechanic, it came across to us as
a get out of jail free system intended to in at least part manage the
messes the first problem got you in.

Setting and background were rather cool however. There might be
something to steal from there. I'll dig out my old books and take a
look.
