The Ghost in the Shell: Tabletop Roleplaying Game

Welcome back, Agents!

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!



In Episode 1, the group are creating their characters, gearing up and taking the first steps into the 8-part story arc of The Lost Patriot, the mission included with all copies of The Ghost in the Shell TTRPG. For those of you looking to avoid any spoilers, be sure to stop watching at around 49 minutes, when the mission truly begins.



To find out more about character creation and game mechanics before watching this video, be sure to check out our designer diary series with Alessio.

Welcome back, Agents!

Welcome to everyone who has joined us over the weekend! Next week the campaign launches, but before then we've still got lots to share.

This week, we'll begin our Actual Play series, a YouTube series with game designer Alessio and friends playing the first few sessions of The Ghost in the Shell TTRPG, so you can see the game in action.

Plus, this Thursday at 4 pm BST, join us for a livestream with the team - watch out for an update with the link!



SECTION 9 MINIATURES

After a few teasers last week, today we're jumping back in to revealing the full Section 9 miniature range. Brought to life in MasterCraft™ Resin, these miniatures are designed to be centrepieces for painters, collectors, and gamers alike. Working with the team at Kodansha to bring the manga artwork to life has been a dream project, and if this campaign is successful, we hope to expand this collection with more figures.

Welcome back, Agents!

If you are just joining us, welcome! If you haven't watched them yet, we've shared a three-part designer diary video series in our previous updates to give you a deeper look at the passion and work that's gone into making this game. Next week, we'll begin sharing our Actual Play series, so you can see how much fun it is in action. 

For those of you interested in reading more about The Ghost in the Shell Tabletop RPG, the lovely folks at Tabletop Gaming Magazine interviewed Alessio and Zak for the July issue. Find out how to get the magazine in physical or digital format via the link.



SECTION 9 MINIATURE PACK

As we mentioned in our previous update, we've created six iconic 40mm miniatures available to backers as the Section 9 Miniature Pack. We're continuing to share these miniatures over the coming days. Let's take a closer look at the next character!



REVEAL #2 - TOGUSA

One of the few primary Section 9 agents without military experience, Togusa was recruited out of the police force. He grew frustrated with the corruption and incompetence he experienced there, feeling that no matter how good a cop he was, he couldn’t ever really help people. His strong moral compass continues to guide his actions in Section 9, and despite his relative lack of experience, he has proved a valuable member of the team. He often assists Batou with field investigations, providing street-level intel through his police network. Togusa has a young family, a responsibility which can make his dangerous role in Section 9 complicated.

Welcome back, Agents!

Here at Mantic, we're not just a publisher of award-winning games, but we also have a long history of creating high-quality, thematic miniatures.

Working with the team at Kodansha to bring The Ghost in the Shell manga to life has been a dream project, and alongside the tabletop RPG, we're excited to reveal the Section 9 Miniature Pack, a range of six iconic 40mm miniatures available as part of this campaign.

We'll be sharing the miniatures over the coming days. Let's take a closer look at the first reveal...



SECTION 9 MINIATURE PACK
REVEAL #1 - BATOU

Section 9’s lead field investigator, Batou, is a formidable soldier and a great asset to the unit. He has a long military history, and his considerable skills are enhanced by his advanced cybernetic eyes. He has a strong sense of loyalty to his comrades and to leaders who earn his respect. His time in the military left him with a great hatred for commanders who disregard the lives of their subordinates. As well as his role gathering intel in the field, Batou has been given supervision of Section 9’s recruit training program.
