1	Edge of the Multiverse is a Forum RPG started in November 2012 by {{Tropers/Flanker66}}. A SpiritualSuccessor of sorts to {{Roleplay/TheMassiveMultifandomRPG}}, it follows the same basic premise; [[MegaCrossover various characters from different dimensions and realities]] wake up one day to find themselves in a mysterious place known only as "The City", with no idea how they got there or how to get back. All they know is that a massive tower dominates the patchwork skyline, and that strange phenomena called "Trials" frequently wrack the place, causing anything and everything from turning the people into toys or turning the City itself into a jungle. Supposedly reaching the tower will allow them to escape, but it will not be easy...

6	!''Edge Of The Multiverse'' has the following tropes
7
8	* AncientGrome: The theme of the first Trial
9	* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Very much in effect during the third day's Space Race Trial.
10	* BossSubtitles
11	* Myth/ClassicalMythology: The monsters from the Twelve Labours of Heracles make up the boss of the second day's Trial.
12	* InnBetweenTheWorlds: The City is this taken to its logical extreme, like Sigil from TabletopGame/{{Planescape}}.
13	* LoadsAndLoadsOfRaces: Not counting all the player characters, the City plays home to humans, elves, lizardfolk, [[Franchise/StarWars Mon Calamari, Sullustans]], [[Franchise/MassEffect hanar,]] [[TabletopGame/WarHammer40000 Tau]] and many, many others.
14	* MechaMooks: The characters end up fighting a horde of [[Franchise/MassEffect geth]] at the end of the first day.
15	* MegaCrossover
16	* OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: The three beings who reside in the tower at the heart of the City. They constantly monitor the characters' progress and are responsible for the Trials that affect the place; beyond this, almost nothing is known about them.
17	* PatchworkMap: The City is a bizarre urban variant of this trope, with medieval castles and taverns standing shoulder to shoulder with modern hotels and alien skyscrapers completely at random.
18	* PlayByPostGames
