Cloaks
 |
Cloaks¸ the fourth source book for 'Over the Edge¸' serves to expand the role of Al Amarja's secret agents¸ or cloaks. Rather than letting this book slip into mediocrity¸ Cloaks carries on the edgy intelligence and psychosexual surrealism that worked so well up until now. The fever-dream continues. Cloaks is not for players.There is a bizarre location¸ a gaggle of characters¸ some adventure seeds¸ a fleshed out plot¸ info on the cloak's business¸ and some toys to empower or decimate player characters. A nice mix.
Whoever you are¸ do not hesitate.
This long-awaited book is¸ according to highly placed sources in several supranational intelligence organizations¸ a carefully encrypted communication. Sleeper agents receiving this transmission will understand what to do. Decode and follow the hidden instructions. Your years of training are coming to fruition; your years of silent immersion among these strangers you pretend to know will soon be at an end.
