	Description Edit \| History

Welcome to Al Amarja, the mysterious mediterranean island that is home to all that is sinister and bizarre. If it troubles you in your dreams, if it scares you, if you hope Over the Edge, the roleplaying game of surreal danger.

Since its 1992 publication, Over the Edge has become a cult classic, with a core of devoted fans and a raft of critical acclaim. Its subject matter and its innovative approach to game mechanics still define the cutting edge of roleplaying games, with free-form character generation, an open game setting, and elegant mechanics that allow more time for character and story development, rather than crunching numbers.
