Welcome Back, Runner

CBR+PNK: OVERLOAD is the first official expansion for CBR+PNK. Make One Last /Run through megacities devastated by violence, exfiltrate strange cargo from high-security labs, and compete for glory in deadly virtual worlds.

OVERLOAD brings a mix of revised and expanded community-made material alongside brand-new content—bundled into a thematic three-pack collection.

In CBR+PNK (Cyber plus Punk), you are a RUNNER—a mercenary, criminal, or activist living on the edge and operating in the shadows of a gritty, ultra-violent world. Each game is a fresh one-shot featuring a new cast of characters making their LAST RUN.

CBR+PNK runs on a super-condensed version of John Harper’s Blades in the Dark, specifically optimized for fast-paced, one-shot sessions. Everything you need fits into eight-panel pamphlets: complete rules, a campaign framework, dry-erase character sheets, settings, and scenarios for low-prep play.

OVERLOAD: The Packs

CBR+PNK: OVERLOAD includes one-shot scenarios, gear catalogs, /Plugin rulesets, and complete settings—grouped into three sleek thematic packs with high-end packaging and content on the inside covers.
