Codex Infinitum: Omniverse (EDGE)

Fly through the stars of a vast universe or explore the secrets that lie beyond its controlled borders where beings as old as the Omniverse lie in wait.

“The Omniverse is vast and hides many horrors that are easily capable of destroying it. If you fly past the borders of known space, know only this - the spacers did that once, and now their eyes are blackened forever. Whoever or whatever is responsible for that...I don’t think I want to meet them.”

- Mayson Craddock, leader of the Outlaw Alliance

The Omniverse is a high-magic, sci-fi universe where astronomical anomalies are twisted and changed by magic. Science, for the most part, is useless here without a knowledge of the Arts as the Omniverse is literally the final barrier between the living world and the Aether that surrounds it.

The Omniverse is a magical universe that was made so when the Great Ascension happened on Gaia. The magical shockwave rippled out of the planet and changed the Omniverse forever. It gave birth to different races and caused strange anomalies and phenomena that are still being analyzed by arcane scientists. It is a universe carved apart by several powerful factions vying for control of its sectors and is surrounded by a near-infinite sea of unexplored space.

Please note, that this is one of the three setting books for the EDGE RPG and only details things that are setting-specific (like races, factions, items, etc.). To learn how to play the game, you also need the EDGE Core Rules (available from the vendor's page) or you can use the book as a standalone setting book with some additional tweaks.

A note to all players: All of my games are 100% OGL-free!

FEATURES:

• A unique world: The Omniverse is populated by dozens of inhabited and uninhabited worlds. Outside its borders, however, lies Deep Space, where the rules of the known Omniverse do not apply and no rules of engagement exist. Once you step outside the known Omniverse, you’re on your own.
• 8 unique races to choose from: Players can choose from 8 distinct races many of which have evolved from Unity’s races as well as new races that were native to other planets. Many races have sub-races to choose from and have two unique racial abilities.
• Landmarks, settlements and people: The book offers a description for every anomaly, orbital structure and planet on the space map as well as all of the important leaders of each major faction and their short backgrounds.
• Religion and mythology: A dozen different religions from all corners of the galaxy each with one or more gods or aspects to worship.
• Time and money: A breakdown of how universal time is measured in the Omniverse as well as important events and the breakdown of how its unified currency is used.
• Items: A sci-fi arsenal of weapons from starmauls to laser rifles. It also features cyberwear that characters can implant into their bodies.
• Vehicles and spacecraft: A list of many basic and unique vehicles available in this timeline as well as all spacecraft available in this timeline.
• Creatures: 50+ different creatures and their stat blocks to throw at your party. Also comes with random encounter tables.
• World Map: A hand-drawn universe map of The Omniverse and its points of interest.
• One-shot: A play-tested one-shot with 7 pre-made characters for players to try out the setting.

EDGE has been in the making for 6+ years since 2016 and has gone through many iterations in that time. It was made by one man and was play-tested on a weekly basis for over 2 years. That being said, there was no feasible way to test out every single aspect of game and therefore, there might be some small balance patches on the way, based on player feedback.
