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.

I don’t know where I am.

But I hacked the system — and now I’ve got access to their resources.

Sending this to you could cost me my life.

But what is one life, compared to the freedom of an entire people?

Grant Howitt and Chris Taylor combine together, mecha-like, to form a two-headed, eight-limbed entity that lives and works in Sheffield, England as a sort of games designer. The entity’s work to date includes Spire: The City Must Fall and Heart: The City Beneath; one of its heads (and two of its limbs) wrote Eat the Reich and, ages ago, Honey Heist. It enjoys smoking cigarettes, consulting thesauruses, and talking to itself. Read more of its work at rrdgames.com and follow their last project on BackerKit!

I have to be quick. They’ve tagged me. They’re tracking me.

The TAZ is successfully funded!
 
The resources I’m about to send could get me caught —
but you’ve earned them.

BOOM. TAZ is live on BackerKit. The System is under attack.

Hey Rebel,

Congrats. You’re now in the Resistance. You hit that button with us.

TAZ is officially live on BackerKit!

And now the System is watching you. 👁️

It’s time to build the Temporary Autonomous Zone.

If you do it within the first 48 hours, you’ll receive the symbol of the Resistance: a patch branding you as a full-on Rebel.

From this point on, we can’t guarantee your safety.

But hey — we fight for freedom, right?

This communication channel is compromised.
I’ll try to reach out again, but they’re watching me.

In the meantime,
Resist,
