[Torg] WEG looking for a buyer

[Salvador A. Melo]

While it saddens me that the company that created such a Grand and Epic game
would go under, I am also hopeful that whomever buys the company will get on
that 2nd Edition they promised a while ago, or at least reprint the old
books. Hell, if I had the money I'd buy the company myself just so I could
get the books back out there. Of course, if I had that kind of money I could
just buy the books off ebay or amazon, but that's not the point.
