Oblivion's Edge, Jeremy Strandberg
Lawrence University Honors Projects
Oblivion's Edge is a role-playing game. It is a manuscript which provides a fictional setting and the methods for group storytelling within that setting. This is not a typical academic project. It is not a board game, a card game, or a computer game. It is a creative work, more like a novel or collection of short stories than a traditional paper or thesis.
