GHOST IN THE SHELL ARISE - Tabletop Roleplaying Game

Created by Mana Project Studio

Welcome to the officially licensed Cyberpunk world of the anime GHOST IN THE SHELL ARISE to play your own Public Security Section.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Development in progress, Pledge Over Time issue and Pledge Manager ETA
6 months ago – Fri, Jan 16, 2026 at 10:27:04 AM

Hello, operatives!

We send you our greetings from the top of our Public Security Section skyscraper.

Our technicians are working hard to write, model, and modulate the best game possible. You will soon receive more exciting news, but nothing special for a few months. They are working hard, battling with many hackers who stand in their way, but they will certainly deliver the game you want to play. Remember that at the end of this development phase, editing will begin, followed by layout. After approval from our licensors, we will submit a first draft to your bionic eyes to gather all possible feedback.

We have heard that some of you (not many, actually, but it happens) have had problems with Pledge Over Time. Any problems of this kind should be fixed during the Pledge Manager phase, and we are quite confident that this will be the case. 
If you will encounter any problems during the Pledge Manager phase, please contact us, and we will resolve the issue manually for you. Please keep all receipts for payments already made.

And when will this Pledge Manager phase open, you may ask...

In a week's time, we'll give it a go! In two weeks at the latest.
This is a project with many players, and the opening of a Pledge Manager is never something to be underestimated. We ask for your continued patience.

Thank you very much, dear operatives. Stay tuned! 

The Mana Project Team

Thank You, Operatives! The Public Security Section wouldn’t exist without all of you.

Operatives, 

The Mission is not over yet.

You have unlocked a substantial number of mission protocols:

✅ Masterless Mode
✅ Solo Mode
✅ Quick Reference Playbook Cards
✅ Nemesis Archetype: The Full-Borg
✅ Character Tokens Digital VTT Pack
✅ Nemesis Archetype: The Hacker
✅ Printed Blank Character Sheets
✅ Nemesis Archetype: The Traitor
✅ Nemesis Archetype: The Bot
✅ Pregenerated Character Sheets
✅ Nemesis Archetype: The Loa

But we have something to add! 

We realize many of you have asked about the miniatures as a part of this game. 
As we said before, we have not prepared any miniatures for this project, as the tactical part of gameplay is not necessarily the primary focus of this RPG. 
However, as some of you may know, Don't Panic Games previously announced a Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex board game, which will feature a set of miniatures, including all members of Section 9 and some antagonists. 

We are happy to share with you at this time one of our miniature designs, as well as the visual of the box of the future board game. 

To know more about the game, stay tuned. We will keep you posted after this campaign ends.
