Ep.13: Echoes of the Veil, a CBR+PNK Hack

Описание: On this special episode we bring fellow Philadelphia-based designer Raffi onboard to explore Echoes of the Veil, a new expansion that turns the


Forged in the Dark masterwork of design CBR+PNK into a quick-fire mini-campaign engine.


We jump straight into character creation, unpacking the new runner-growth track and “Weird" options, modular downtime boards, and other Veil-specific mechanics along the way—smart add-ons that deepen play without slowing the momentum that made CBR+PNK a cult favorite. Expect tight action, abrupt pivots, and a city that pushes back as hard as you lean in. After the session we dive into a far-ranging discussion of style, system, and all things RPG.


Listen now, grab free sample pages, and back Echoes of the Veil on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/... and and some sample content at https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/produ...) to keep indie cyberpunk thriving.


Heartfelt thanks for joining us, Raffi. Go support this fantastic creator!
