Project FAQ
If you followed or reserved before launch, these will automatically be added to your pledge. The £1 reservation is not applied to your pledge amount, but the Dust Jacket is automatically included in the checkout phase. As a reminder, the pre-launch offers are included with physical pledges only.
The Ghost in the Shell Tabletop Roleplaying Game can be played with two or more players. Each game needs a GM, but how many players you have beyond this is entirely up to you and your group.
All pledge levels above Follower include the full Rulebook PDF. This will be sent to backers immediately after they complete the Pledge Manager - long before physical rewards and the retail launch next year.
To thank you for backing this campaign, we've increased the number of missions from ONE MISSION to FOUR MISSIONS! We are currently writing the bonus missions. All backers above the Follower tier will receive a free Digital PDF of each bonus mission after they are completed and approved by Kodansha. BONUS MISSION 1: Puppets on a Wire BONUS MISSION 2: The Cruise BONUS MISSION 3: Cell Island Syndrome The Collector's Edition Hardback has now been expanded to include all three bonus missions, printed and bound within the book, available together in a single definitive edition. All rewards that include the Collector's Edition will now feature all three bonus missions, pending approval from Kodansha*. All bonus mission briefs are already approved by Kodansha, but the full missions are still being written. Although we have every confidence in the missions and the expanded Collector's Edition being approved, Kodansha can only officially approve them once these missions are completed and submitted in full.
While it isn't possible to back different pledges at the same time, you can build your own custom pledge via the Follower pledge level.
Yes! Back the campaign at the "Follower" pledge level, then add any ADD-ONS to your pledge to create your own reward bundle.
Not at the moment. We hope to expand the miniature line in the future. In the meantime, the Section 9 Miniature Collection features existing agents from Section 9, and you can use these as proxy avatars to represent your characters in this TTRPG.
Before the campaign ends, you can cancel your pledge at any time. After the campaign ends, we have two different policies, one for digital rewards and one for physical rewards. REFUNDS FOR DIGITAL REWARDS: Once digital rewards have been downloaded or accessed by the backer, this digital product will be deemed delivered, and no refunds, credits, or cancellations will be provided for this digital element of the pledge. Any eligible refund will exclude the value of the downloaded Digital Rulebook PDF or STLs. REFUNDS FOR PHYSICAL REWARDS: Upon request, refunds may be given within 14 days of the campaign ending, including fees. Following that time, refunds may be given minus crowdfunding and payment fees (10%). To request a refund, you must contact [email protected]. Please note, we cannot issue a refund once your order has been placed with the factory.
We’re happy to offer special terms for retail stores. Please choose the Retailer Pledge and get in touch with our trade representative in your territory — you can find their contact details here. https://www.manticgames.com/stockists/

BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
