Stand Along Complex - An Actual Play, Session 0

Please enjoy our 2025 Kampfer Special--the first of four parts of a wonderful GitS TTRPG Actual Play experience penned and game mastered by show scholar Ghost and featuring storied Year in the Shell guest Iris Jay! In this session: Alice, Brian, Niko, and Iris worked together to create a compelling if extremely socially malinged group of queer cops with VERY different motivations, but one unifying mission--bring "justice" to the streets of New Port City. You can find Iris here and here. You can find Ghost here. Content warnings for this episode: Poaching, abusive family dynamics, political assassination, genocide, mass violence, police violence, state corruption, and body modification.
