[Torg] Willing Converts

[Dominick Riesland]

Sure, that's where some of the converts came from. There's even a
character out of the Character Collection who is a
roleplayer-turned-barbarian. I could see some of the conversions being
"voluntary", but I think that converting to a "friendly" reality is
quite likely to create a Possibility-rated individual.
