Welcome back, Agents!

We hope you had a fantastic weekend. Since our last update, over 400 new agents have joined. Welcome all to the start of your journey as a fully trained recruit at Section 9.

While we're not doing stretch goals, we have already planned three daily reveals. On day four, we shared that all backers will receive "Puppets on a Wire", a new bonus mission, as a free digital PDF. Today, we're excited to reveal this was just the beginning.

We're incredibly grateful for your support bringing this project to life. To thank you, we're increasing the number of missions included in every pledge from ONE MISSION to FOUR MISSIONS!

All backers, from the PDF tier to the Collector's Bundle, will now be sent THREE BONUS MISSIONS as digital PDFs once they are finished and approved by Kodansha.

Sessions in The Ghost in the Shell Tabletop RPG are built around missions undertaken by Section 9 agents. These operations may last one long session or several. Player characters can continue their stories through multiple missions to create an ongoing campaign.

The Cruise 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.

Mission Brief: At the grand opening of a luxury high-rise hotel designed as an immersive “cruise,” Section 9 goes undercover to monitor suspicious activity.  When a sudden crisis locks the building down, Section 9 is cut off from support and must adapt to a rapidly escalating situation.  

Backers will receive 'The Cruise' mission as a separate digital PDF as soon as it's ready.

Crafted for fans and collectors, this premium edition hardback comes complete with stunning full-height cover art, silver page edging and an integrated ribbon bookmark. The page count between the standard retail hardback and the Collector's Edition was the same, until now...

The Collector's Edition 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*.

A note on approvals: 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 expanded Collector's Edition being approved, Kodansha can only officially approve them once these missions are completed and submitted in full.

Thanks to the folks at UniNerd, the free Character Sheet is now updated with editable text fields, allowing you to digitally create your characters without needing to print the file.

Once again, thanks for all the positivity and support since launch. The team really appreciates it. Until next time, thank you for joining us on this great adventure.
