Moonveil is growing into something much bigger. We'll be keeping this here as a document to how MV started.
You can find the most updated PDF here on github.
And we'll try to keep the cleanest PDFs updated here on itch.

THE MOON IS FALLING TO EARTH, AND IT’S MAKING THINGS WEIRD. MOON SHARDS ARE BLANKETING AREAS WITH STRANGE MAGIC—THE MOONVEIL. SOME OF IT IS HARMLESS, AND SOME OF IT IS ACTUALLY PRETTY COOL, BUT SOME OF IT IS BAD, AND YOU’VE GOTTA DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
YOU’RE IN A CARAVAN OF SEEKERS INVESTIGATING THE MOONVEIL. YOUR VEIL GUIDE WILL TAKE YOU WHERE YOU NEED TO GO.
MOONVEIL is a tabletop dungeon crawler where you explore the ruins of a broken moon, face all kinds of danger, and use your Pocket dice to twist luck in your favor.
It’s inspired by a bunch of games and stories we love — things like ICRPG, Shadowdark, EZD6, FIST, 2400, Wizardry, Mörk Borg, and Dungeon Meshi.
What makes MOONVEIL stand out:
- Resolve uncertainties with two six sided dice
- Pocket dice! Swap in a higher Pocket die to guarantee success — or swap in a lower one to bank it for later
- Stats fuel rerolls
- Daily Moon Effects that mutates the game world
- 8 fold zine format to Print & Play

How do I download the updated PDF on github? I've no idea how to use that site.
You should be able to download the PDF from this page here https://github.com/rrazcueta/moonveil/blob/main/docs/Moonveil%20v1.1.pdf

Thanks!
I bought your complete set at Milwauke eZine Fest, and I just ran my Monday night group through The Gate Library. Lotsa fun! Everyone really liked the pocket die mechanic. Looking forward to really understanding the implications after more time playing. The one thing we missed was a Charisma-type attribute. Hard to know what to use for a reroll of a failed convince roll. Anyway, thanks for creating this!
Thanks so much!
I usually role play the conversations, but if you go for convincing people through rolls I would use Willpower for persistence. You can also use
- Arcane for presenting new unknown information
- Strength for intimidation
I am writing some more content about how convincing people can be more dynamic with gifts or secrets or other bargaining chips. I hope this helps!
OK, yeah, that's a good point!
Really interesting system that's rules light while still having plenty of depth. The pocket dice mechanics make every decision nuanced. Highly recommend!
