On this note because I'm in the UK I've only just recently seen Dark City by the same man who did the Crow. Now theres an idea for Over the Edge, Oh Spoilers Ahead... Aliens kidnapping people to their fake space city, messing with peoples memories, everyone falling asleep at midnight and living the same few hours again and again. Oh and the Villians bald blokes in leather named Mr Book and Mr Hand it's just crying out to be ripped errr borrowed off :-) Mark Wilkin [O] You received this message because you are subscribed to the-edge [0] To (un)subscribe, send a message to majordomo@robin.ml.org with body of [O] (un)subscribe the-edge ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 06 Jul 1998 13:01:51 -0600 From: "Carl L. Congdon" Subject: [The Edge] Other Places, Other Worlds Sounds like I wasn't the only one to see "Dark City." Good! I borrowed a bit of it for my (as-yet-to-be-played)campaign. In it, I theorized that the human race had evolved itself into a dead end. Realizing what was about to happen, the descendents went back in time and created a little island known as Al Amarja. This island is supposed to be a testing ground for their ancestors, so that the descendents can isolate and understand what it is they lost during their accelerated evolution. These beings are known as the Watchers. They are the uber-Conspiracy from which all of the others originate. Although they are only supposed to watch, some of then discreetly interfere when they want the "experiment" to go a certain way. How do they keep from being discovered? How do they keep the experiment from destroying itself prematurely? The answer is that they have two powerful and secret allies on Al Amarja: the Cut-Ups Machine and the Throckmorton Device. Both of these machines, while keeping both the Chaos junkies and Control freaks occupied, respectively, make sure that the Experiment flows smoothly and that the Watchers aren't discovered. I mean, c'mon, you don't think that those machines were brought into being by mere accident, do you?

Harassed by their neighbours in Pajaten, reportedly, "the girl and her family went to the village of Uycampa," on the eastern side of the Cordillera Central, "where they are now living."
