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 Runners, rebels, mystics, and misfits, working together to fight for a future beyond extraction and Control.
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.

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 flexible, expansive, accessible, and deep. Echoes of the Veil is a 208-page stand-alone cyberpunk RPG I hope you want too.
And while we're here.
