Aberrant is a
role-playing game created by
White Wolf Game Studio in 1999, set in 2008 in a world where super-powered humans started appearing one day in 1998. It is the middle setting in the greater
Trinity Universe timeline, chronologically situated about 90 years after
Adventure!, White Wolf's
Pulp era game, and over a century before the
psionic escapades of
Trinity/Aeon. The game deals with how the players'
meta-human characters (called "novas") fit into a
mundane world when they most definitely are
not mundane, as well as how the mundane populace react to the sudden emergence of novas. The original
Aberrant product line was discontinued in 2002, though a
d20 System version was released in 2004.
Onyx Path Publishing has recently acquired the rights to the Trinity Universe and has announced its intention to release a new edition of
Aberrant.
