One of my favourite shots from the last few days, and hadn't see a Willet for a while, and managed to get quite close with ok lighting. #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin #Photography. Also #BirdoftheDay #OntheEdge contender too!

For Alan H's #BirdoftheDay prompt of #OntheEdge, I've gone with this Surfbird, with the waves of a strong Pacific swell breaking behind it, clinging on to mussel covered rocks. #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin #Photography

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #OnTheEdge, so here's a black stork at the edge of a lake. 🪶 📸📸 🌿🖌️ #Birds #Photography #nature #jungle #safari #EastCoastKin #BirdPhotography

Throwback: On the Edge

Remember those heady days just after Magic: The Gathering came out, when all of a sudden any TTRPG related publisher decided to push out their own trading card game?

Well, so does Atlas Games it seems, who have been sitting on unopened “On the Edge” boxes for the last 30 years and are still selling them, for pennies on the dollar by this point.

I’m not sure why I thought it was a good idea to order them, but now I would have enough to I don’t know, run a draft tourney or build a cube or something.

On the Edge is the trading card game for Over the Edge, a rather surreal conspiracy RPG set on an island somewhere in the Med. It’s basically X-files crossed with Burroughs’ Interzone.

Now Over the Edge was a popular but definitely niche RPG in the 90s, but it hardly was what I would have called ripe material for a trading card game. Back in the days it had 2 editions, and a few years ago they published and updated version for the 21st century. But back then was a weird time, and so trading card games popped out from everywhere. There was a Deadlands TCG after all, there even was a Das Schwarze Auge one which seemed to miss the whole point of what made Magic work so well.

Still, the On the Edge game managed to get a main set and 4 expansions. Unfortunately it never seems to have sold all that much, but unlike other companies Atlas Games seems to be unwilling to let go of a good idea that easy (and I didn’t say the game wasn’t good, just that the property wasn’t all that ready for a TCG and it definitely got lost in the shuffle). So they are still selling it. In 2025!

Quick calculation: I bought the big packages for 20 bucks each. They sold in 1995 for $117, which equals about $247 in 2025 money. Which means they were basically marked down to $10 in ’95 money.
At one point you have to wonder if AG isn’t losing money storing these things for three decades.

“The object of the game is now to arrange 6 or more cards in a row so that the first letters of their first names spell out an English word. First player to do so wins, […]”

This is from the The Cut-Ups Project expansion, which tries to gamify surrealism.

Now of course the issue is that I might need someone to actually play this game with me. At least thanks to the low price I have enough cards to actually do that, something I can’t say for my unsuccessful ventures into the Star Trek: TNG and Babylon 5 Trading Card Games.

Thriller europeo ben recitato ma che dopo una buona prima parte si affloscia su se stesso.

A 2nd visit to the High Schells Wilderness, this one to the high point, the highest Schell. I made it a quick overnight trip, finding a tiny flat spot high on the ridge and out of the wind (at least for the evening) to spend the night.

@alisca it stings like a bastid. One is never not surprised. And we howl in the waiting room every time a newbie comes puffing up the 4 flights.
The clinic is in Enniscorthy which as a Wexfordian born & reared is in my DNA to call "Scalder" from sunup till sundown.
We go to Scalder for the scaldy stuff.

On another note entirely I've put your review on Twitter tagging Padraig Naughton from ADI whom I met at the #ontheedge theatre forum in 2019.

I used the ALT text.

Today I'm building an app with Hanami 2 and Phlex. Maybe I should test it with sus to add even more spice.

Just saw the raspberry pi password was still the one by default. Had to change that and will add a login by key with fail2ban. #hardening #ontheedge
