Thinly Veiled

Thinly Veiled is a hack of Good Society that extends the world of Jane Austen into the Victorian era, and includes the restless dead. It facilitates stories about ghosts, hauntings, and how human beings deal with societal oppression and repression. The game allows players to explore these themes by emulating contemporary Gothic fiction and ghost stories.

To enable this, Thinly Veiled includes two choices of temporal setting, situated in and around the same Yorkshire settlement of Meddon-in-the-Moor. In the Regency era, Meddon-in-the- Moor is a small village that has fallen from prominence as a weaving village and faces an uncertain future. In the Victorian era, Meddon-in-the-Moor’s fortunes have revived as new technologies enable iron mining, and the village has become a local industrial center — and home to a thriving community of Spiritualists.

For 3-5 players, one of whom should already have access to Good Society.
