Over the Edge (game)

Over the Edge is a surreal tabletop role-playing game of secrets and conspiracies, set on the mysterious Island of Al Amarja. It was created by Jonathan Tweet with Robin Laws and published by Atlas Games. It departed from the model of predefined character attributes and skills in favor of player-chosen traits, and it was among the first games built on a dice pool, where the number of dice rolled is determined by the character's abilities. It has won critical acclaim, is acknowledged as a major source for the indie role-playing game movement, and was the basis of the On the Edge collectible card game.
