K14R4 here! Good news from the Resistance network: work on TAZ is moving forward, and we're now about halfway through the layout.
This time, we wanted to give you a little sneak peek of what’s waiting for you inside the book.
Among the scenarios included in TAZ, you'll find one written by Grant Howitt, and today we're sharing a short extract from it.
“There is a creature, bound and broken, far beneath the blasted sands of the surface.
It is a vast and impossible thing. It is acres of flesh fastened upon a monstrous skeleton of echosteel, powered by vat-grown organs the size of armoured personnel carriers and filled with hundreds of kilometers of capillary. Shackled and bent as it is, obscured by siding and scaffold, it is hard to imagine what it could look like; naked and unburdened, it would look like a titanic human being melded with the sort of industrial equipment you’d need to hollow out a mountain.
They call it a BehemO₂th.
The collective knows its position, and they’re going to take it. Or kill it. Or free it. Or eat it? Whatever - this thing is so important to Subterrea that they’ve kept it hidden even from each other for centuries. And the TAZ is we’re big enough, and mean enough, to stand a chance of making an impact.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves.
Job one is stealing something that can punch a hole in the ground the size of a Sprawl neighborhood.”
There’s still plenty more being assembled behind the scenes, and everything is progressing well.
Here's another piece of artwork by Officina Infernale!
K14RA here! Important information has leaked from the Resistance network.
First of all, the operation is moving forward. Despite the constant surveillance of the Corporations, work on TAZ continues steadily. Lara Ongis and Officina Infernale are pushing ahead with the artwork and bringing the world of TAZ to life.
Here's a sneak peek at Lara's artwork.
Unfortunately, not everything went according to plan. During a demonstration in Subterrea, our network suffered a severe cyberattack. Between that and a few manufacturing issues, some parts of the operation have taken longer than expected. Nothing catastrophic, but enough to force us to revise our timeline.
Right now, we expect to send the PDFs in about three months.
Physical shipments should begin between October and November, barring further interference from hostile systems.
We have a question for you.
Have you attended any interesting protests, gatherings, or Resistance meetings lately?
Let us know in the comments.
In the meantime, here's a fresh piece of artwork by Officina Infernale.
Lara is creating some incredible art for TAZ, and we are excited to reveal the first piece of final artwork of a haunting environment that tells the story of the biological depths of Subterrea. Here it is!

For those wishing to explore the surface, a direct flight to the Wastelands of the Ash Plains is about to depart. Come and discover our enchanting landscapes, filled with battlefields that have long since turned to ice!

But whilst TAZ is really starting to take shape, another team of operatives is launching an incredible project with a completely different vibe – but just as weird!
