In contrast, <strong><em>Echoes of the Veil</em></strong> expands the game into a 100-page book. The expansion provides more detail, artwork, and a weird magic vibe. But why expand the rules? The creator wrote that “as a neurodivergent GM, running games from just a handful of pamphlets without much explanation? That left me overwhelmed and paralyzed.

Format is the driver behind [B][I]CBR+PNK[/I][/B], giving it the streamlined structure that puts the rules and the concept into a few one-page documents/character sheets. In contrast, [B][I]Echoes of the Veil[/I][/B] expands the game into a 100-page book. The expansion provides more detail, artwork, and a weird magic vibe. But why expand the rules? The creator wrote that “as a neurodivergent GM, running games from just a handful of pamphlets without much explanation? That left me overwhelmed and paralyzed. I needed more.” If you want to see the additional content the creator wrote as well as more information on this cyberpunk RPG using [B][I]Forged in the Dark[/I][/B], check out the [B]Kickstarter[/B] page for more details.
