Limited Edition Shirow Masamune Art | The Ghost in the Shell Tabletop RPG
about 1 month ago – Mon, Jul 27, 2026 at 06:22:12 AM

Welcome back, Agents!

We've said it before, but creating The Ghost in the Shell Tabletop RPG has been a huge passion project for the team. Game designer Alessio Cavatore first read The Ghost in the Shell in the early 90s, and 30 years later, started writing The Ghost in the Shell Tabletop Roleplaying Game. Three years later, it is almost here.

Today, we're all incredibly proud to reveal something we could only have dreamt of when starting this journey.



Shirow Masamune, the visionary creator of The Ghost in the Shell, has honoured us by creating a brand-new piece of art for this campaign. This stunning new piece features iconic characters from the series, paired with dice from our Tabletop RPG, inviting you to become part of the story.



Whether you are a longtime fan of The Ghost in the Shell, a collector of Masamune's work, or a newcomer preparing to dive in for the first time, this exclusive artwork is a new celebration of the series’ legacy. From the engraving on the firearms to the cybernetic enhancements on Batou's spine, this new realisation of The Ghost in the Shell showcases Masamune's continued worldbuilding and vision. 
 
Celebrate The Ghost in the Shell Tabletop RPG with the Limited Edition Shirow Masamune Art Print. Exclusive to this campaign, it is included in the Collector's Bundle pledge, or available to all backers as an add-on.




Tomorrow the campaign goes live! If you want to support the launch, be sure to share the campaign with any friends, family or community who might be interested.

Until then, thank you for joining us on this great adventure.

Recently, game designer Alessio and friends gathered to record their exploration into the world of The Ghost in the Shell Tabletop RPG! Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing their successes, mishaps and adventures in an Actual Play series!

For those of you looking to avoid any spoilers, be sure to stop watching at around 49 minutes, when the mission truly begins.
