I recently interviewed Scott Palter via a list of questions. Scott was the force behind the original incarnation of West End Games back in the day. He is responsible for publishing the original Star Wars D6, Ghostbusters, Hercules/Xena RPG, Paranoia, etc. -- some amazing games. He was kind enough to oblige me. This should put a few rumors to rest.

Cool! Thanks for this!
Glad you enjoyed it.
It isn't loading for me - something up with the DNS.
Thanks. Reminds me of some great games and fun times and at the same time makes me sad for the demise of WEG.

Scott's a great guy, long time member of the Torg Mailing List. Talked with him a few times.
I'll definitely have to give this a read.
EDIT:
Value chart was by Greg Gorden who ALSO designed Mayfair's DC game. A lot of other concepts came over from DC, like Effect Value and Acting Value.
Tharkold
was a Torg cosm, not a Masterbook worldbook.

Not any more - must have been a momentary glitch.

It's not everyone who can (or wants to) build logarithms into an RPG. Greg is a very clever man and he's done some great work. (Also a very fun GM.)

Good to know. Thanks.
Cool!
I've got a couple more Q&A's in the works. Hopefully, they'll be interested too. I just hope that Dan Davenport doesn't get jealous :) (just kidding, Dan).

One of the greatest designers in RPG history. DC Heroes is a masterwork.
