Description

A fairly simple one inspired by a tangent on the Daz Slackers Discord about chipping spiders. Which I'm not sure is even a thing, but never one to shy away from introducing the mostly American members to the exquisite art that is British cuisine, I used it as an opportunity to enlighten them on the concept of "the cone of chips". (To translate into American: A rolled up paper cone, often newspaper or fake newspaper, that we then shove chunky fries into. This is commonly associated with the seaside for some reason. Yes, I can sense you are staggered by our culinary innovation.)

Also, I just kind of enjoy rendering these mundane familiar situations with less normal characters. (Well, relatively mundane, anyway. I'm not sure what Emma is doing with that volleyball). Much of the development of Fracturing Veil as a setting has been driven by questions like "Where do dragons go on holiday?", the kind of thing that makes it to me feel much more "lived in" than high fantasy settings where it's all the political affairs of royalty and nobility.

(Well, again, Emma manages to be the odd-one-out by claiming she is ancient Celtic royalty, but no-one's entirely sure whether she's being serious and ultimately she doesn't really seem to care either).

Fracturing Veil

It is 2018.

The United Kingdom is still arguing over Brexit, Vladimir Putin has been re-elected for his fourth term as Russian president, and a disillusioned AI super-soldier is failing to live a normal life.

After witnessing vampires attack a police officer she'd only just met, the pair are thrown into a world hidden from mortal eyes. Recruited by "Cerberus", they find themselves working alongside a sarcastic half-dragon, a distant arachne sorceress, and other paranormal denizens in order to try to maintain a 500-year ceasefire.
This is the Fracturing Veil.
