Book Description

March 1, 1998
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.

For the rest of you reading this — well, this remains on the face of it a sourcebook of secret agents for the Over the Edge role-playing game of surreal danger. It includes the gadgets and fringe powers of Al Amarja's secret agents (known as "cloaks"), new characters to bring into your series, a major plot revolving around secret agents, plus lots of smaller story ideas to put everything in the book to good use. In short, it is a book that no Over the Edge GM should go without.

So whoever you are, do not hesitate. Buy this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I hoped., November 10, 2006
This review is from: Cloaks (Over the Edge) (Paperback)
I will start by saying that I am an avid fan of Over The Edge. In a world of dragon slaying, cybernetic, and "become the monster" role playing games this one is one of the more unique games out there. What I hoped Cloaks would be is more information on the equipment and fringe powers(called Shivs in this book) possessed by cloaks. These sections are very small and compete with a incongruent entry on astral entities that would have been better in a different book. The scenarios offered are not what I would call the best examples of an espinioge game. Little information is found here on the operatives of the various conspiracies on Al Amarja. It sort of promises information on groups like the CPC and the Earthlings but just gives you sample cloaks. The useful thing I did find was some basic advice on how to run a Cloaks game (tips on story structure, setting, ect.). I have read nearly all of the books in this series and can say (in my humble opinion) that you can get by without it. Yet if you want all the information printed for this game (for completeness) you may find some useful nuggets in the book.
