The psychotronic game of post-apocalyptic trash-culture America.

Gas up your smartcar, tune up your six-string and don’t forget to feed your monkey. octaNe is a roller-coaster ride through irradiated wastelands and strip-mall paradise from the alien rockstar splendor of Shangri-L.A. to the decadent neon strip of Lost Vegas. Masked wrestlers rule the lands of New Texaco and sentient monkeys study the Tao in the flooded ruins of San Francisco. Global warming? The world got a whole lot cooler.

Contains rules and advice on running an action-packed game session, as well as over 40 rockin’ roles (ready to play character concepts) and juicy chunks of setting, bite-sized and dosed liberally with hot sauce.

Reviews

Winner of the 2002 Award for Best Sui Generis RPG: “…a little like being trapped in a fast-moving car with someone just after the bennies hit…” – Ken Hite, Out of the Box

Gaming Report: “The term ‘sheer genius’ about covers it.” 5/5

RPG.net: “A completely insane setting combined with truly innovative rules…one of those games that every gamer should play at least once.” 10/10

GameWyrd: “…a treasure worth stashing on a Cult RPG bookshelf, behind glass and with grenade wielding snake guards.” 9/10

Realms: “All in all octaNe is damned good value and a lot of fun.” 5/5

The RPG Times: “…these few paragraphs don’t do the game nearly enough justice. Any RPG collector who also has an affinity for wacky adventures in otherwise serious settings absolutely must add octaNe to the collection.”
