Thanks to all of you for joining us on this adventure into the world of Section 9!
For the past three years, we've poured our time, experience, and passion into creating a game we truly believe in. While this campaign has no stretch goals, we are already busy creating additional content. We will be revealing the details on Day 4, Day 8 and Day 12 of the campaign.
Day Four Reveal
All Backers Get a Free Bonus Mission! (Digital PDF)
All backers of this campaign will receive a free bonus mission! This 8-part mission, Puppets on a Wire, is intended for a group of player characters who have played at least one other mission and can follow on directly from the rulebook mission Lost Patriot.
The Brief: Tasked with investigating a series of uncharacteristic and politically charged behaviour among ordinary citizens, they will soon discover that the greatest threat to a person's freedom is not always one they can see coming… or resist. Section 9 must stop a growing wave of forced political coercion, cyber-attacks, and escalating violence before the conspirators can unleash their ultimate plan.
Backers will receive the 'Puppets on a Wire' mission as a separate digital PDF as soon as it's ready!
Rulebook Mission: Lost Patriot
All copies of The Ghost in the Shell TTRPG contain the first mission, Lost Patriot, an 8-part adventure which is intended for a group of newly created PCs.
The Brief: A charismatic political fixer navigates high-stakes negotiations as powerful factions prepare for an uncertain future. Set against a backdrop of political tension, competing interests blur the line between maintaining order and profiting from conflict. The story combines intrigue, deception, and power plays in a world where perception can be as important as military force.
Sessions in The Ghost in the Shell Tabletop RPG are built around missions undertaken by Section 9 agents. These operations may last one session or several. Player characters can continue their stories through multiple missions to create an ongoing campaign.
GMs can either create their own missions, run published adventures or make their own adjustments as they see fit. The structure below provides a framework for running both custom and pre-written scenarios.
Missions are organised into five phases that guide the flow of gameplay from briefing to conclusion.
Instigation - The mission begins with a hook, usually a Section 9 briefing, introducing the objective and initial information.
Investigation - Player Characters gather intelligence, follow leads, question suspects, and uncover clues that move the mission forward.
Action - Infiltrations, chases, stealth operations, and combat encounters take place as the Player Characters confront obstacles directly.
Downtime - Characters rest, recover injuries, reflect on their experiences, and potentially adjust their Synthesis Gauge or gain GW points.
Denouement - The mission concludes with consequences, unresolved threads, rewards, and opportunities to set up future stories.
Thanks for all your Support
Once again, thanks for all the positivity and support since launch. The team really appreciates it. While we won't be posting any updates over the weekend, we will be checking comments and replying where needed. Until next week, 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!
During this campaign, we'll be sharing their successes, mishaps and adventures in an Actual Play series! Apologies episode two arrives a little late in day, it took over 5 hours for my small laptop to process!
Episode 1 - Meet the Characters
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.
Episode 2 - Hostage Rescue
In episode 2, the group jump head first into the mission contained in all rulebooks, "The Lost Patriot". If you want to avoid all spoilers, then consider skipping this video. If you want to laugh, shout, and question the actions of this team of new recruits, the below video is well worth watching.
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.
Try to keep the comments spoiler free, but on a scale of 1-10, how do you think the team did? Whose tactics had you cheering and whose had your face in your hands?
Tomorrow I'll be revealing something new, but my lips are sealed for now. Until then, thank you for joining us on this great adventure.
We’ve got a quick one for you today — an upgrade and an invitation to come hang out with us in person. Let's clip in and get to it!
Carabiner Sets - Now 3x the Carabiners
Samples of the base and colorful carabiners!
The Color Carabiner Set is getting an upgrade: instead of 1 of each color, you’re now getting 3 of each color in every packet.
Same deal as before — if you already claimed a set, this upgrade is already reflected. Nothing to do, nothing to change. If you haven’t grabbed one, they’re still just $4.99. More carabiners, more color, more Via Ferrata fun.
Come See Us at Gen Con — Booth #2113!
Booth #2113
Heading to Indianapolis? So are we (well, we are here already - I'm currently writing this from our hotel)! We’ll have a copy of Parks Europe at Booth #2113. We’d love nothing more than for you to swing by, check it out in person, and say hi. Seriously — come say hi. Meeting backers face-to-face is the best part of our job.
That’s all for now. Thank you, as always, for backing Parks Europe and being the best community in tabletop.
Congratulations, Leveling Up backers... you've unlocked Door 3, and have earned a bonus tassel bookmark! This free bonus item will be added automatically to every tier or add-on that includes a bookmark set. Now the only question is... what would you like on your bonus bookmark? We'll leave it to the fans! But please keep in mind, only backers get to vote, so if you'd like to participate, please back at any tier to make your selection.
Deathbringer here! Cast down your torches and howl, for the stretch goal has fallen beneath our blades! Deathbringer VTT is UNLOCKED, and the pits of hell themselves shake with digital thunder!
For those of you who pledged your coin — nay, your very souls—to the Core Box, the Deluxe Box, or the Everything But Your Soul tier: rejoice, for you need lift not a finger! Deathbringer VTT has already been bound to your pledge, chained there like a prisoner in the deepest oubliette. It's yours. It was always going to be yours. You simply hadn't earned the honor of knowing it yet.
For the rest of you wretches, clawing your way up from lesser tiers—fear not, your path to glory is not closed! March to the add-ons and claim Deathbringer VTT for your own table. The dungeon awaits, whether played by candlelight or by cursed glowing rectangle. Deathbringer cares not for your medium. Only your body count.
NOW A MATTER OF VANITY (YOURS, NOT MINE, I HAVE NONE)
My scribes have been busy in the shadows, and they've dragged forth a sneak preview draft of the Male Thief artwork! The stickyfingers, the burglar, the wretch who'd relieve a corpse of its coin before it finished falling. Two versions clawed their way out of the ink. Only one shall stalk these pages forever.
Look upon them. Judge them as you would judge a rival in a back-alley duel—swiftly and without mercy. Tell us which one deserves to live in the final book. The other is tossed to the thousand hells.
We have hit slightly above $1k unlocking TEAL! I'm so pumped to hopefully see these IRL!! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN!!
UNLOCKED COLOR THUS FAR!
Did you notice some of the surprise colors?
Once these get unlocked more secret colors will be revealed! To unlock these will be mainly free, so lets share the first 2 to get a headstart!
SURPRISE! - DARK BLUE PAW
UNLOCK: If we reach 30 Shares on Bsky we will Unlock Dark Blue Paw!
Hmm.. maybe a clue..
The Support means the world to us, we are currently doing pin orders for the other 2 campaigns which has been the final step, its been longer due to spec sheets and corrections. Thank you for your patience with us as we progress through this campaign!
I was going to make this update sooner but mental health was in the way,I deeply appreciate everyone's support!!
