TAZ - A Roleplaying Game of Post-Cyberpunk Resistance

Created by Mana Project Studio

TAZ is a post-cyberpunk tabletop roleplaying game about resistance and loss of control. Set in a world stripped of all its resources, you play as desperate idealists searching for a place to build a free enclave far from the tentacles of the dystopia.

Burn the System. Now.

Hey Rebel,

This is $M4RT4. Thanks for the rescue — not that I needed it.

As you might’ve noticed, I sabotaged Subterrea’s system to send you some resources.

You should have received:








s3/VA is in recovery — her system overloaded and she nearly lost control.
The TAZ is vulnerable, and the System is pissed.
I’m about to hack the central computer and cancel the next enemy strike.

I’m handing the channel over to my comrade §AUR!, our trusted Living Tank.
I won’t say more — you’ll meet her yourself.

If you have any questions, write back. She’ll answer.

I don’t have time for chatter.

See you out there.

One last move. I destroyed their main control computer.

Now I’ve got access to a whole lot of stuff.

This might be the last time you hear from me, Rebel.

It’s still me — s3/VA.

Right now, I’m joining the recovery squad to bring $M4RT4 back to the TAZ.

She hacked the System just long enough to send us the coordinates.
Now we know where she is.

You’ve got a 3 hours left to claim your identification patch and join the squad. We need every rebel we can get to bring our comrade home.

Meet us at the coordinates:
  • GRID-Z3/∆SUBTERRΞ∆
  • COORD: SBT-R34.N2
  • NODE ∆404-SUB/SECTOR C
  • ZONE-ID: SUB-X09.FADE

If this works, I hope the next message you receive comes directly from $M4RT4.

See you on the other side. Maybe.

Bad day for us, Rebel.

We just received this transmission:
// INTRUSION IN PROTOCOL [SUBTERRA-03] 
<<$M4RT4 // SIGNAL LOSTStatus: UNKNOWN
Last Ping: 00:12:07:09[!DATA LEAK DETECTED]
SUBJECT CAPTURED→ Confirmed resistance: MAXIMUM
→ Final transmission indicates conflict at node [Z-A12]
CURRENT LOCATION TRACE: ∆SUBTERRΞ∆
Action: Surveillance locked. 
Rescue not advised. Risk: CRITICAL.
END //

It was $M4RT4. We don’t know what condition she’s in, but for now, I’ll be the one contacting you.

I’m s3/VA, graphic designer and art director of TAZ — and second-line Solar Engine revolutionary.

We need help building the TAZ. 
The risk is high. The pressure’s on.

You have 7 hours to get your symbol of recognition:
the patch that brands you as a Rebel.

We have a mission to complete: destroy the System.
And $M4RT4 is the best we’ve got. We need her back.

Will you join us?
Don’t reply. It’s not safe.
I’ll reach out again.
