Frequently asked questions
Beyond the Veil is an investigative survival tabletop roleplaying game or TTRPG for short. You and your friends must form a team of investigators tasked with finding the truth about the paranormal, supernatural and the unknown from beyond the stars and resolving any issues along the way to complete the investigation.
Beyond the Veil utilises the Wrenegade gaming system.
A Tabletop Roleplaying Game (TTRPG) is a collaborative story telling experience. Usually there are two sides in play, a GM (see below) and a group of players who will act out the scenes put before them. Unlike many types of games there is no traditional ‘winner’ in a TTRPG, the aim is to improvise fun and exciting situations that are collectively entertaining.

The Game Master crafts the world in which the players will act. They embody the non-player characters (NPCs) and the entities the investigators will be interacting with. The GM also acts as the funnel through which the rules of the game are applied, the ability to make, break, or ignore rules also lies in their hands.
The main thing a GM needs is time and patience. Running a game requires preparation and knowledge of the rules found in the core rulebooks (or via the SRD, once available, for instant access to the basics). For new, or time limited GMs, you can utilise existing investigations published by Wrenegade Studios or other third parties. To create your own stories that chart the career of your group of investigators all you need is a basic narrative to explore and a willingness to improvise. A set of dice won’t hurt either.
It has always been our aim to release Beyond the Veil in Q4 2025. But we want to make sure everything is right before release so if there is are any changes to this we will keep you updated.

We recommend this game for 12+ due to the complexity and setting but as with many other TTRPGs they can be played and enjoyed by people of all ages.
With adult supervision and a GM who is responsible, Beyond the Veil can be adapted and played with younger children. Some of the more complex rules are marked as ‘advanced’ and are optional for your table enabling younger players to ease into the game.
