Description
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.
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.

The Ghostjacker: Through stolen bodies, you walk unseen, strike without warning, and speak with a hundred voices. You infect hosts within line of sight by invading their body with fragments of your Spirit like a virus. Once possessed, you control them like a marionette.
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.
