Aberrant is a role-playing game from White Wolf Publishing focusing on the lives
and exploits of paranormal humans. Set 10 years after radiation from an exploding

Metaplot?:
Aberrant is the 'middle' game of the three Aeon Continuum games which chronicle
the activities of the Aeon Society. Aberrant, if taken as 'Da Rulez!', leads
to a war between humanity and 'Aberrants' in the mid 21st Century. The recovery
from this war is the 'backdrop' setting for the Trinity game - the third and
final Aeon Continuum game, set in the 2120's.
