Sean's Pick of the Day (113016): The Veil

Powered by the Apocalypse is a serious and growing thing these days, so I figured I'd best pick an AWE game as part of Cyber Monday Means Cyber-Week. A lot of fans know about The Sprawl, but here's a new cyberpunk playset you might want to take a look at.

THE VEIL

The room flickers in front of you for an instant like a PMP losing reception. You hear the hammer snap back on a cheap poly and you can almost smell the ozone as the bullet glides out of the chamber. The window flies apart in shatterproof shards the size of disembodied limbs. Your neurochip feeds you the trajectory of the unequivocal sentence of death speeding your way as your eyes swivel in their machined sockets. Juice crashes through your veins. You've only got a split second to make a move. What do you do?

The Veil is a collaborative storytelling game designed to tell cyberpunk stories of your own making. Use world building tools to come up with unique settings that look and feel like the cyberpunk you and your friends have always wanted. Put questions that drive your characters at the heart of heists, mysteries, and conspiracies. Break a near future world and then try to put it back together. Play to find out what happens.

First Post
What are the big differences between The Sprawl and The Veil? I literally had the Sprawl in my shopping cart, but now I am wondering if the Veil might be better.
