Edge-On is an adventure published by Iron Crown Enterprises (ICE) in 1990 for the near-future science fiction role-playing game Cyberspace.

Description

Edge-On includes four unrelated scenarios for Cyberspace:

  1. "Network 69 takes the fall": The player-characters are hired by media firm Channel 32 to steal data on future programs from rival Channel 69.[1]
  2. "Ward, I'm Worried": The player-characters are hired by a mega-corporation to find a missing scientist, bringing them in contact with the Fusers gang in the slums of San Francisco, and the Fusers' cybernetic leader.[1]
  3. "Safety Violation": The player-characters are hired by Okira Corporation to sabotage an oil rig owned by rival New Edison. After they start the explosives' timers, an earthquake cuts off their line of escape.[1]
  4. "Unscheduled Layover": During a courier mission, the player-characters' shuttle crashes in the Amazon rainforest, and they discover an ancient Mayan city transformed into a secret base.[1]

The book also includes guidelines for linking the scenarios together.[2]

Publication history
