When complete, Beyond the Veil will be a Live Action Roleplaying Game. Centered around the politics and interactions of spiritual beings, including Angels, Demons, and Elementals, that exist in a Realm parallel to the material world. This place is separated by a "veil" which generally prevents direct interaction. These characters exists and gain strength, influence, and authority through the substance of the material realm and energy produced by material beings. These resources are collected and manipulated to create other game effects through various Powers. The system uses a turn based conflict resolution mechanic when characters clash in a way that is direct and non-negotiable.

Design Goals

This game intends to focus on active role play as well as conflict between player characters. By design this conflict will exist primarily in player driven trade and political action, largely lacking NPCs. To meet the goal of player interaction and conflict the game will be designed to provide a level playing field between characters and in-game incentives towards player vs player conflict and deal making via economic principles, while striving to avoid becoming Monopoly; the Role Playing Game.
