A Universe Split by Time. A Story Shaped by You.
Dark Veil is a cinematic tabletop roleplaying game where fractured timelines collide, melding medieval fantasy, Victorian steampunk, space era tech, and the magical realms of Eon within the Veil itself. The game is built for high-roleplay groups who love character-driven narratives, exploration, and emergent drama, but doesn't shy away from real tactical choices that matter.
With a unique success based die system, players decide their own fate.
Dark Veil uses a fast-paced, success-based skill system. Every skill is tied to two of the seven core attributes, determining how many dice they roll for every action of their turn. Increase skill successes for a single skill by using all three turn actions or spread out your three actions across multiple skills to do more. Every dice roll feels meaningful and part of the story. Every character feels distinct and grows organically.
​
Build the character you want to play without limitation.
​
Whether you're persuading an era faction into a peace treaty or wielding raw Veil energy in combat, the system keeps the focus on storytelling, choices, and tension. The game balances the different era gear with gear points, effectively allowing characters to wield and wear more as they advance classes. Power exists, but choices determine how that power is wielded. Every player has the potential to wield the Veil's magic, wear armor and wield weapons from any era.
Advance, study, or steal Magic and Combat Traits.
Characters can learn, steal, or mimic monster and enemy magic and tactical combat traits. A mechanic that rewards players for conflict, exploration, and class advancement. Rolling the skill spell thief to steal magic, the skill tactics to steal combat traits, and the skill linguistics to learn languages, players grow from their experiences in real time.
