The Hope Lab

TRIGGER WARNINGS

• Militarization of the Police → literalized through armored AI-driven cops.
• Techno-Emotional Warfare → using empathy as a weapon, or as a liberatory virus.

FAST RUN> RULES-LIGHT

The runners are hired to deliver a prototype by the Hope Lab. The sell? A device that boosts empathy—designed to short-circuit brutality in the police force and spark mass resignations. But the tech isn’t what it seems.

Inspired by and rooted in revolutionary movements, you may have a chance to ally yourself with the Bois Club (pronounced bwa):  Once, they carried the fire of freedom and revolution but that was before the betrayals. Before the power grabs.  Now, the Bois Club operates in the Edge District like warlords.

THE SYSTEM

Echoes of the Veil (EoTV) is a fast, cinematic tabletop RPG based on Forged in the Dark and hack of CBR+PNK, set in a world where Weird Magik never left—just got buried.

Players take on the roles of cyberpunk rebels, mystics, and glitch-born outcasts trying to survive (and rewire) a world ruled by corporate greed.  EotV is inspired by revolutionary movements and is for a Game Moderator and 2–5 players. 

EotV is required to experience the game fully.  Also compatible with CBR+PNK without EotV-specific mechanics, paths, etc.
