Description:

Al Amarja is calling you.	Over the Edge takes place on the
mythical(?) island of Al Amarja in the Mediterranean Sea.  Character
creation is easy and can be completed with few exchanges.  Several players
will be playing along the same time line, if not the same story.  Though
the game takes place in modern times, there are significant societal/
culture/ economic differences from Al Amarja and the rest of the world, so
be prepared for anything.
     Every conspiracy you've ever heard, every government cover-up, every
story you've ever heard about mind-controlling satellites, UFOs, vampires,
werewolves, superheroes, or any other thing you though was impossible is
happening somewhere on this island.  Some of it openly and with no
apologies.
     Maybe your character is a woodworker from Tulsa, OK.  Maybe she is a
ballerina in a Russian dance troupe.  Or perhaps he is the real Green
Lantern, trying to seek solace from the world, or seeking the root of all
evil.  Character choice runs the gamut.  Angels, demons, superheroes,
bubblegum salespeople, shape-shifters, ghosts, extraterrestrials, clones,
and, well, any character you might pull from a novel or movie that could
somehow fit into the isles of the modern Mediterranean Sea.
     Plot lines will be played in scenes and acts for some, with prologue
and epilogue (if applicable), and for some it will be noted as prologue,
chapters, epilogue (if applicable).  I will be using the Irony Games die
roller.    I may ask that you roll over from the IG site, but any roller
that I am able to use and can be checked for authenticity should be fine.
     If this sounds like something you'd like to try send me an e-mail and
we'll begin the character creation process.
