Once people have outlined their lines and veils, it’s up to the other players to respect them and not include them in the game. A Veil is a topic or action that the player is okay with including in the game as long as its description is vague. A Line is a topic or action that the player doesn’t want to be included in the game at all. Firstly, before play starts, the GM should ask the players to share their Lines and Veils. We considered putting these suggestions in the GM section, but because they’re so important, we instead put them here where everyone can see them. It’s always a good idea to have some safety tools in place to make sure that everyone is having a great time, especially with horror games. It’s about flawed, obsessive people making bad decisions and investigating a horrific undercity because they’re convinced that the answers they need might lie inside it. This isn’t a game about long-term exploration and growth. Each player character is fundamentally doomed, as most of the high-level abilities kill the user when triggered. Heart is a game of wonder, horror, tragedy and humanity in the face of inhumanity.
