Find Truth

1/9

A unique setting that makes options real.

Dark Veil is a cinematic tabletop roleplaying game where fractured timelines collide, melding medieval fantasy, Victorian steampunk, space opera fantasy, dystopian cyberpunk, and the magical realms of Eon. The game is built for high-roleplay groups who love character driven narratives, exploration, and flexible options. This is a game where all dice rolls matter and Storytellers can make it their own with just 1 book.

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.

Explore a Universe Torn by Time

The world of Dark Veil is a shattered tapestry of overlapping timelines, where medieval kingdoms, industrial empires, neon-lit cyberpunk space cities, and the Veil realms of Eon coexist. These sectors, fractured by a cosmic phenomenon known as the Veil, are stitched together by mystery, conflict, and discovery.

The Veil divides the surviving remnants of time into distinct sectors. Some call it sanctuary. Others call it a prison. Factions rule these sectors, but allegiances change.

One year after the shattering, the Veil gates have opened. Massive constructed portals allowing travel between sectors, between time itself. This convergence has blended cultures, histories, and agendas into a new, volatile world. Across this unstable reality, adventurers, exiles, and power-seekers clash under the constant shadow of the Veil.

As a player, you’ll journey through lands ruled by powerful queens and kings, corrupted monarchs, sky pirates, and mechanized Veil-born goliaths. Your story will take you from diesel-fueled Victorian cities to war-torn fantasy kingdoms and sleek cyberpunk metropolises.

Each new sector comes with its own dangers, politics, and secrets. Each game is never the same; each story is always driven by the choices of those who play it. Amidst it all, an always looming Veil. A wall of magical energy only split by Veil gates and breached by powerful magi.

Within the Veil new adventures and dangers loom, for those brave enough to discover them. Will that be you?
