Beyond The Veil is run by the Bristol Live Roleplay Society , which also runs games in other genres. Check out the BLRPS site for more info!

We use Chaosium's Cthulhu Live rules, but we do not use the Cthulhu Mythos. This is not meant as a disrespect to either Chaosium or Lovecraft (the Master of Purple Prose); in fact, it's in keeping with what we believe he would have felt appropriate. "Man's greatest fear is the fear of the unknown," he wrote, and we agree. Great Cthulhu and his shambling minions are too well-known to gamers to frighten them any more. In order to keep things unknown and scary, we're not telling you what you're up against.

Tales from Beyond the Veil

Writeups of our games, with the chilling evidence of otherworldly terror presented in lurid prose and sepia-tone photographs (we're working on a cinematograph). Herein lurk nationalist cannibals, weird cults, madness and death and strange, silent conspiracies.

Players' Resources

To play Beyond the Veil, you need a character. The best way to create and advance your character is to buy a copy of Cthulhu Live, but for those of you who don't have a copy, this section should give you everything you need.

Referee's Resources

If you're thinking of running Cthulhu Live, or any live-action game, this collection of recipes, rule, props and tips might save you from reinventing the wheel. We particularly recommend our delicious stage blood!

Ephemera

This is our musty cupboard of ephemera, impedimenta and arcane knick-knacks. You'll find a gallery of the art we used in Thirteen Chimes at Midnight, a profile of the referee hive-mind, links and all sorts in here. Watch out for the spider; he hasn't been fed.
