The Wanton Role-Playing (WaRP) System
The rules system for the Over the Edge 2nd Edition RPG has been released under the Open Game License. Its official name is the WaRP System (Wanton Role-Playing System), and a new WaRP logo has been released along with it under the OGL (without a special trademark license). The WaRP System Reference Document (SRD) contains the basic rules system used in Over the Edge, but not the game's unique setting. (Interested parties may contact Atlas Games about licensing the setting separately.)
