Interview with Jonathan Tweet about Over the Edge

Jonathan Tweet, designer behind such iconic titles as Ars Magica, D&D 3.0 and 13th Age talks to us about a game near and dear to his heart that’s being reborn for a new generation and kickstarting now.

“With simple, story-forward rules and an intense, edgy setting, Over the Edge broke new ground in roleplaying games. When it was released over twenty-five years ago, it influenced a generation of game designers and spawned countless campaigns on Al Amarja.

Today, we’re bringing Over the Edge back with a new vision, new era, and new stories. We want you to be a part of that effort.

Return to the island you only think you remember.”
