WELCOME TO THE EDGE
Welcome tourists, sight-seers, entrepreneurs, seekers, sybarites, and
you terminally misguided; welcome to the Edge. May your stay be pleasant
or eventful, whichever you wish.
To make your stay in Al Amarja more enjoyable, kindly keep in mind
the following facts about our fine island.
FIREARMS-Firearms of all kinds are outlawed since there is no
wild game to hunt. Only the Peace Force may carry firearms. If you have
smuggled firearms onto the island and are caught with them, you will face
sever punishments.
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES- Al intoxicants generally illeagal in the
civilized world are illegal in Al Amarja. Do not be deceived by appearences.
THE TEMPLE-Social and spiritual needs may be met at the Temple of the
Divine Experience on D'Aubainne Avenue. Celebrants of all faiths and sects
(except Satanists) are welcome at the services. Please note that the high
proestess of the Temple is Chery D'Aubainne, daughter of Her Exaltedness
Monique D'Aubainne, Historic Liberator and Current Shepardess of Al Amarja.
Utmost respect is therefore due to the Temple, its celebrants, and its
creeds.
CURRENCY-Al Amarja uses the US dollar as its currency. Exchanges of
other curencies, as well as valuable substances in general, may be made
at Swaps on the Plaza of Gold. Please not that Swaps is run by Constance
D'Aubainne, daughter of Her Exaltedness Monique D'Aubainne, Historic
Liberator and Current Shepardess of Al Amarja. Utmost respect is therefore
due to it Swaps, its employees, and its policies.
MEDICAL SERVICES-Should you find yourself in need of medical services
during your stay (and may the gods forbid such a calamity) you may seek
medical attention at the D'Aubainne Clinic on D'Aubainne Avenue. Dr.
Nusbaum and his staff are eager to ease your suffering. Special programs are
available for those who are unable to pay for the services they require.
HISTORY-Al Amarja was liberated from the Italian fascists on October
7, 1940 by Her Exaltedness Monique D'Aubainne. Since that time she has
brought stability, excitement, peace, security, and prosperity to Al Amarja.
It is she who saw the wisdom of adopting the language and currency of the
ascendant nation and thus us put in our enviable position among Mediteranian
islands. Al Amarjans continue to enjoy a healthy mix of cultures and
languages, while relying on our connection to the USA for unity and
stability. And we freely offer the delights of these cultures to visitors.
WELCOME AND ENJOY
Welcome to Over the Edge. Who wants to give it a try ! Respond here or email

Here's some more info on the island itself, next will be character creation.
We can handle that in the item itself, or if you want (and probably should)
take it to email.
Al Amarja is a small island in the Mediteranian, south and a little East
of Italy. It's a rough oval, about 60km by 80km, volcanic in origin (no
longer an active volcano). Temperatures are moderate year round, dry and
sunny in the summer and occasionally rainy in the winter.
It is a democratic independant nation. The current President is Monique
D'Aubainne, the woman who liberated the island from Italy in 1940.

Yay! I'll see if I can't come up with an interesting char in email.
Did you type in the AA info or steal it; I may do the latter.
And yes, Jamie, it's a lot simpler to learn than D&D, and the urules make more
sense.

Ok, everyone who wants to play: I can't handle a horde, so please
eamil me a request to join the game. Please don't send the request
until after 8pm Friday April 26th. That should give everyone who's
interested a chance to ask any other questions they have. I'll email
the basic character creation process to any one who asks for it.
You can get that email anytime, don't wait. I'm not setting a limit
on the number of players, I just want to see how many are realy interested
before I do that. (If it's even necesary)
