Albedo is a science-fiction space-adventure system based on the "Erma Felna, EDF" comics stories.

All of the player characters are genetically constructed anthropomorphized animals, and are typically members of the "Extra-Planetary Defense Force".

Risking is for those times when you need to reach beyond your normal capacity because regular dice aren't enough and only necessary if you have 4 ranks or fewer.

The Albedo Role Playing Game was written by Paul Kidd with Steve Gallacci and first published as a boxed set with four books - three rulebooks (background and characters, technology and equipment, referee's manual) and an introductory scenario - and dice by Furball Publications (Aus.)

In 2004, Sanguine Productions published ALBEDO: PLATINUM CATALYST, which is unrelated to the original two editions of the role-playing game.

Most notable are its attention to details of small-unit tactics using near-future and far-future weaponry, in the same vein as Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six and other "techno thrillers", as well as using genetically-engineered people as a morality play for 20th century geopolitics.
