Using This Website

First of all, be aware: this website is still under development, and while all the major functionality is complete, there's a lot of quality-of-life stuff still to go. Errors may be reported as JSON packets instead of friendly messages, buttons may appear to have done nothing while waiting for a response from the server, that kind of thing. This is a hobby project that already does more than the author needs from it, it's coming but there's no promises on delivery timeframes.

Start at the search page in the top bar. From there you can filter the card database on a number of different criteria to find specific cards. If you want to view the full details of a card, click on its name in the results grid; to filter further to find similar cards you can click on a card type or a trait in the grid to restrict the results to cards matching that type and/or trait. If you want to add the card to a deck, click the button to the right of the grid. Access your in-progress decklist from the icon at the top of the page.

If you create an account, you can save your decklists using the icon in the top-right of the deck builder; these are then available to edit or export to PDF deck lists on the 'Decks' page linked to at the top of the page. Registering doesn't require any personal information, only a username, and the password is only stored hashed. Of course, this is a website about a game (?) in which every conspiracy theory is probably true, so be paranoid: use a password you don't use anywhere else, just in case. Decks can be shared by toggling the / button in your decks list, but presently only logged-in users can view public decks.

About On the Edge

Released between 1994 and 1996 by Trident Inc./Atlas Games, On the Edge was designed by Jonathan Tweet and John Nephew, with one card set also contributed by Robin Laws. The bottom somewhat-notoriously dropped out of the CCG market around the time of OnTE's cancellation, and – related or otherwise – despite being a standout gem in its field, there's still sealed, brand-new packs available today for incredibly reasonable prices. On the Edge stands out from its contemporaries for a few reasons: it's a much more tactical game than the typical line-em-up duel game that persists to this day; it actually works (and some say highly benefits from) being played with more than just two players; and it's relatively playable out of the box. If your interest is piqued, given the prices cards are available direct from the publisher these days, EdgeLord recommends buying a box of boosters or a Burger Box and giving it a try!

Over the Edge

The Over the Edge RPG is the setting for On the Edge, and recently received an expansive third edition. In keeping with the setting's general themes of misinformation and conspiracy each edition of the game subtly (or not-so-subtly) contradicts the others, leaving nobody all that sure what if any canonical information exists.
