Over the Edge


“This is a war universe. War all the time. That is its nature. There may be other universes based on all sorts of other principles, but ours seems to be based on war and games. All games are basically hostile.” —William S. Burroughs





Over the Edge 3rd Edition is not a straight game, if there is such a thing. This game exists at the intersection of several loosely related inspirations. Beginning with the work of Philip K. Dick, Andre Breton, Stanisław Lem, Terry Gilliam, David Lynch, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Warren Ellis, and the Burroughs Boys (both William S. and Edgar Rice).

Some specific influences in no particular order. Conspiracy X. Delta Green. Call of Cthulhu. Monster of the Week. Fringe. The X-Files. Supernatural. Kolchak: The Night Stalker. Twilight Zone. The Outer Limits. Unsolved Mysteries. The Prisoner. Welcome to Nightvale. The Last Podcast on the Left. City of Lost Children. MIB. Tabloids. The Laundry Files. The Illuminatus! Trilogy. Promethea. The Invisibles. Shade: The Changing Man. Doom Patrol.

In this game there are: conspiracies, aliens, cultists, psychedelics, encroaching dimensional beings, Men in Black, Greys, The Illuminati, weird science, hollow earth expeditions, Saurians, psychic powers, ritual magic, UFOs, demons, devils, Old Ones, a heap of paranoia, and so much more.

Strap in. It’s time for some high strangeness...
