Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Over the Edge is a tabletop roleplaying game by Jonathan Tweet in collaboration (to a certain extent) with Robin Laws and Mark Rein·Hagen.note That's a large part of the team responsible for Vampire: The Masqerade and Ars Magica, if those names mean nothing to you. If Unknown Armies is the roleplaying game for the works of Tim Powers and KULT is the roleplaying game for the books of Clive Barker, then Over the Edge is the roleplaying game version of Naked Lunch. It also had a short-lived trading card game incarnation under the title On The Edge.The game is set on the mysterious Mediterranean island of Al Amarja, which is ruled by Monique D'Aubainne and various members of her extended family. The D'Aubainnes have most of the laws of the U.S.A. (or something like them) on the statute-books but basically only enforce them if you attempt to mess with the status quo, making Al Amarja effectively a Libertarian despotism. As a result, it is home to every conspiracy imaginable (no, seriously, one splat-book has a table to determine whether any given housecat is an alien and part of the huge Conspiracy of Cats) as well as a haven for all sorts of freaks and malcontents.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The native Al Amarjians ("'Marjians" or "Martians" in local slang) are a mongrel and polyglot population, given to self-expression largely (but not exclusively) in the form of drinking, drugs, public weirdness and violence. And they wear nooses instead of neckties.The rule system used was released separately as the Wanton Role-Playing System (WaRP System) under an Open Source license; a few adventures for the WaRP System were published.A third edition was released in early 2019, moving Al Amarja to the Atlantic Ocean (off the coast of Africa) and making many other changes to the setting, both large and small. It also changed the rule system to one built around rolling two dice (called "lots") and rerolling based on relative ability levels. |

Mythology Gag |

comment |
Mythology Gag: Many important characters and places from earlier editions reappear in considerably different circumstances. Throckmorton's Exterminators is a globally-recognized brand. The head of the local franchise is Clyde Blanche, who feels like he Missed the Call somehow. Ms. LeThuy is a charming woman who fits in everywhere and seems to get along with everyone. Total Taxi, formerly the epitome of discreet travel, is now short for Totalitarian Taxi, the only taxi service allowed on the island. Tiffany Trilobite, the cartoon character, can talk to people, and had an infamous episode that triggered epileptic seizures. This was part of a plot by the Stitch. |

The Man Behind the Man: Monique d'Aubainne, President of Al Amarja in the previous editions, did not take over after the death of her husband Jacques, "Our Martyred Leader". Instead, her son Jean-Christophe is now Head of State, and his sisters, Sister Cheryl and Sir Constance, actually run things. The book's index indicates that Monique is the secretive figure known as "Mother", leader of the Presidential Guard and likely power behind the throne. |

High Times Future: Most drugs are legal in Al Amarja. Drugs must be taken for a medical condition, but exactly what it is isn't relevant. Any mood-altering substance is considered a drug, including alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, and nutmeg. Fantastic Drugs like MDA-cubed are technically illegal, but the State doesn't care except for combat-enhancing drugs like SloMo. |

Shout-Out: Al Amarja is basically Interzone on even more drugs. One of the cards in On The Edge is The Centipede, a shout out to the film version of the The Mask (which took place in 'Edge City'). Assorted members of the Cut Ups are shout outs: Doctor What, the Andalusia Dog, Terry Gilliam and real life RPG designer Doc Cross. One of the forms of Public Execution in third edition is sharks with laser pointers attached to them. |
