Echoes of the Veil (EotV) is a fast, cinematic cyberpunk TTRPG about revolution, tough choices, and taking down corporate power. Drawing from leftist politics and Resistance movements, players take on the roles of Runnersrebelsmystics, and misfits, working together to fight for a future beyond extraction and control. 

The WEI̴Ř̴D̴͋, an ancient force capable of awakening radical transformation, hums beneath the concrete and neon. It calls on those who will listen, granting supernatural powers… at a cost. 

EotV is inspired by revolutionary movements and is for a Game Moderator and 2–5 players. It's specifically crafted for Long-Shots (mini-campaigns), but also delivers satisfying One-Shots.
//Powered by Forged in the Dark and a hack of CBR+PNK. //

The Shifter: You are a defier, your body no longer bound by fixed biology. Your very flesh is a canvas of endless revision, capable of rewriting itself at will. Bones liquefy, muscles stretch, skin reknits.

The Veilrunner: You don’t see the future—you see futures. Your minds exist just a few seconds ahead, catching glimpses of every possible outcome before they unfold.

The Channeler (remixed and pushed): You manipulate Eldritch energies through somatic, verbal/non-verbal and material components. You reject the term WE̷I̴Ř̴D̴͋, preferring to explain your power in your own way.

The Whisperer (remixed and pushed): You reach through the Fringes, the subliminal space between the material and the unseen, where Spirits drift like forgotten memories.

WHY MAKE ECHOES OF THE VEIL?

I was really drawn to CBR+PNK for its aesthetics and ultra-minimalist system, but as a neurodivergent (and new) GM, running games from just a handful of pamphlets with minimal explanation left me overwhelmed and paralyzed. I needed more. I needed art. I needed queerness. I needed texture and that extra sauce.  So I decided to create a TTRPG that is flexibleexpansiveaccessible, and deep.  Echoes of the Veil is a 208-page stand-alone cyberpunk RPG I hope you want too.
