Sounds like the Shadowrun Online MMO for Offline-Gaming o.o

a series of graphs detailing the progress in the SR Returns funding.
NOT including PayPal Donations!

[ggodo]

Well, I want it. Also I'm curious to see how 2050 will work running in SR4A. It's something that comes up a lot here.

[Stahlseele]

And have you read what you get for the pledges?
Especially at 10k it's insane!
Might actually enable CanRay to play for once, if he is willing to pay 10.000$ for it *snickers*

[Blade]

Shut up and take my money!
(and make a fragging good game)

[Neraph]

2D, turn-based? Final Shadowrun?

[coolgrafix]

I was unaware the Microsoft licensed the interactive rights away.

But apparently JW secured the rights in 2007 after the MS's abortive FPS died a grisly death.

Outstanding! =)

[coolgrafix]

Kotaku is also covering this here. Woot!

[Neraph]

Kotaku is also covering this here. Woot!

Is... is that a troll with a green lightsaber?

EDIT: Oh, he's supposed to be lighting a cigarette on something like a blowtorch. Although it could be a lightsaber and he's lighting up on it...

[The Jopp]

I will most likely spend 115 dollars on this one.

Already did it for Wasteland 2 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

[Stahlseele]

Damn it, i wanted to pledge 150$, but they only accept credit cards -.-

[coolgrafix]

Damn it, i wanted to pledge 150$, but they only accept credit cards -.-

I don't think that's strictly true. They use Amazon.com's checkout mechanism, so presumably Amazon.com store credit and anything else supported by their mechanism would work. Worth a try.

[Stahlseele]

only gives 5 different brands of credit cards as payment option for this one though . .
i am not too savy with these things, i don't buy stuff online . .

[ggodo]

Shut up and take my money!
(and make a fragging good game)

They won't take paypal! They won't take my money!

[coolgrafix]

They won't take paypal! They won't take my money!

Kickstarter takes pledges, not payments. No payment is actually made unless their goal is reached.

To accomplish this they have to use a payment gateway that supports longterm payment authorization and optional cancellation.

Most don't. Amazon does. You can see why they went with Amazon. <shrug>

[JonathanC]

Well, I want it. Also I'm curious to see how 2050 will work running in SR4A. It's something that comes up a lot here.

Are we sure it's using SR4A? I'm kind of hoping it isn't...I like a lot about 4A rules, but erasing the difference between mages and shamans really destroyed a lot of the flavor. Besides, the 4A Matrix rules are intended for a world where wireless is ubiquitous; 2050 is a land of cyberdecks.

[Stahlseele]

For anything computer based, they should use the SR3 rules.
These were hell to do in person, but with a computer taking the work away, they have more merrit for the game than the SR4 rules . .

[almost normal]

It's taking place in 2050. Likely to use hybrid rules nearing 2nd ed.

[coolgrafix]

Who said anything about 2050? =)

[Blade]

Seeing the description of the 4 classes and the way they see the world, I think they'll use some custom rules.

[Patrick Goodman]

1. No, this is not a joke. Shadowrun Returns is a real thing.

2. One of the FAQs on the Kickstarter page specifies that it's in 2050.

[Stahlseele]

i liked the video on kotaku.
especially when the guy responsible for the SR2007 game got pelted

[coolgrafix]

2. One of the FAQs on the Kickstarter page specifies that it's in 2050.

Erf! Good eye. Patrick.

But why!? Why? Assuming it's an IP issue until otherwise informed. Because otherwise... why? =)

[Tyxe]

Yep, i think it's better to use custom rules even if it will be turn based.
Too complex for a cRPG, maybe not to play but to implement at least (especially for a low budget game).
Damn i hope it will be funded, very excited about this even if after my pledge for W2 i'm a "little" short.
I still remember of the SNES game,it was great (was not turn based though).

[JonathanC]

Who said anything about 2050? =)

The game's FAQ on Kickstarter:

We are setting the game in the 2050 era of the Shadowrun timeline. We chose this setting because it’s the one that we originally created and the one that the fans of the SNES and Sega Genesis know and love.

[Draco18s]

Assuming they use any rules from the table top game at all!

[JonathanC]

Erf! Good eye. Patrick.

But why!? Why? Assuming it's an IP issue until otherwise informed. Because otherwise... why? =)

Because the people who are doing the project are from the origins of Shadowrun; 2050 is the setting they wrote, so it's the setting they're working with. Plus, to be honest, 2070 isn't all that Shadowrun-y, IMO. Mages and Shamans are completely identical in 2070, which is a pretty major loss of the setting's flavor. The NAN are largely irrelevant by 2070, which is also very different. The shift from Deckers to Hackers also took a lot of the old flavor with it, from datajacks to splicing your way into an access line...by 2070, hacking is a much less specialized role, and much of it is done in AR. While this makes the game more playable as a pen and paper RPG, I'd much rather enjoy the more flavorful "old way" in a CRPG.


EDIT: To clarify, I am not dumping on SR4A, or 2070 in general. I'm just saying, there have been a lot of changes, and a lot of the "classic" SR stuff is gone, reduced, or irrelevant. It's been replaced by new, shiny stuff. 4th ed is almost more of a transhuman setting than a cyberpunk one, and the vision of the future is pretty different (it's based on extrapolation from the 2000's, rather than extrapolation from the 1980's, as the earlier editions were).

I think it's awesome that we're getting two videogames, one for the modern setting and one for the classic setting.

[ShadowDragon8685]

Is... is that a troll with a green lightsaber?

EDIT: Oh, he's supposed to be lighting a cigarette on something like a blowtorch. Although it could be a lightsaber and he's lighting up on it...

A smoking troll Jedi. Love it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)



I'm ambivalent about the 2050 setting. I've played the Genesis game and I liked it, and I've played SR4/SR4A and I love them... But, well...

As long as they have an actual character creator with all the options, I'll be happy. I didn't like being forced to play the one character they gave you in the Genesis game - I know, limitations of the system and all, but these days are much more advanced.

[coolgrafix]

Because the people who are doing the project are from the origins of Shadowrun; 2050 is the setting they wrote, so it's the setting they're working with.

Bah! =) I'm sticking with the IP reason.

I think it's awesome that we're getting two videogames, one for the modern setting and one for the classic setting.

Absolutely! =)
My day has been made brighter.

[Tyxe]

Well, shadowrun online is a browser game, it's really not the same thing.

[coolgrafix]

Well, shadowrun online is a browser game, it's really not the same thing.

Exactly! Two games... we totally win here! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[JonathanC]

Well, shadowrun online is a browser game, it's really not the same thing.

True; they're not the same game, but I like that. If both were in 2070, it'd be redundant.

[Murrdox]

I'm hoping for the success of both Shadowrun Online... and now this game.

I echo others who have said

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

[ShadowDragon8685]

Even so, I think 2050 is a little too early. You could go with 2060 when the weird things start to appear, like AIs and Otaku. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)


Still... eh. It'll be fun, unquestionably.

Also, I love the sense of the humor. The caveat on the $60 pledge cracked me up: Note: This is an in-game service only. No armed medical extraction team will actually arrive at your home.

Because shoot, I was really looking forward to that.

[Patrick Goodman]

Damn i hope it will be funded, very excited about this even if after my pledge for W2 i'm a "little" short.

We are at not quite $70K. The Kickstarter is less than 12 hours old. We'll see how things go.

Eh...I'm kind of okay with Otaku not being around yet. I think there would have been AI by the 2050's, though. Also, Dunk might still be alive.

[ShadowDragon8685]

We are at not quite $70K. The Kickstarter is less than 12 hours old. We'll see how things go.

Well, in a fit of completely spurious reasoning and wild leaping logic (but accurate mathematics,) I calculate that the final budget, at the Kickstarter's end, should be approximately $3,434,000, or over eight and a half times what they hope for.

I wonder what would happen with that much? Hell, you could fund a new edition of the game with that much money, couldn't you?

You gotta build up to things.

I suppose, I suppose...

Eh...I'm kind of okay with Otaku not being around yet. I think there would have been AI by the 2050's, though. Also, Dunk might still be alive.

Oh, shit, I completely forgot about that.

It'd all be worth it for a chance to change history and save Big D. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(Or even to know what exactly Lars J. Matthews did to piss him off bad enough to call him out by name and publicly put a postmortem hit out on him.)

[TwoDee]

What I would really love to see tackled in this game with more detail is the Crash virus and the resultant lostech. I feel like that's such a gigantic, fantastic plot hook that's kind of been abandoned in favor of newer, shinier digital threats, and moving the clock back lets them play with it again.

What I'm REALLY psyched about is if they'll cover the whole Universal Brotherhood arc, though.

(Or even to know what exactly Lars J. Matthews did to piss him off bad enough to call him out by name and publicly put a postmortem hit out on him.)

I've been fiddling around with ideas in my head for a while about old Lars. Nothing I want to talk about right now, because they're not even half-baked (hell, I've barely pulled out the flour to make the dough), but I'd love to take a look back and see what he did.

[ShadowDragon8685]

Even for a dragon, publicly declaring open season on a man is pretty extreme. I mean, I expect that about half of the "to X, I leave a token of my esteem, to be distributed by the Draco Foundation" is a coy way of saying that the token of Big D's esteem they're referring to is a bullet, and the distribution method will be a Shadowrun.

So, what did Lars do to cheese him off badly enough to give him a head-start (not much of one, but a headstart nontheless,) and invite every wanker in the Sixth World with an Ares Predator and a thirst for ten million (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) plus whatever Lars himself had to take a shot.

Plus, of course, he would run the risk that a court would declare that clause of his Will unenforceable (since it's in as many words a public call to have a guy assassinated and a promise of money upon the completion of that task,) and put in protective custody for the duration of the manhunt period. He is, after all, basically declaring that the government and others beholden to Lars' welfare - the government to which he owes allegiance, DocWagon, whom he paid in a lawfully binding contract to protect him - shall ignore their obligations to him and let him be hunted.

Even if the government decides it's not in their best interest, I imagine that DocWagon would have issue with it, because it's basically saying that if someone with clout tells them to, they'll ignore their obligations to you. That's kind of anathema to the point of DocWagon, and would probably cost them more customers than whatever bribe Big D allocated to be paid out to them.



So, what in the world could Lars have done to Big D to piss him off just that much, without putting him over the edge into just immediately sending Shadowrunners after him, or personally rubbing him out.....

Man, Big D's will is such an interesting document. I wonder if there's any facets to it (besides the open bounties on toxic/bloods and the ongoing magical/technological innovation contests) that players in 2072 could get involved in.

[Nath]

Actually, Lars Matthews and Dunkelzahn just had a discussion about which qualities were missing from Shadowrun Companion that spanned the whole night, and Lars finally accepted to beta-test any new qualities Dunkelzahn would propose.

Ends up Erased was Dunkelzahn's idea.

Search for "Dowd" at the Kickstarter page.

[Stahlseele]

if i had that ind of money, i'd be pledging 10k and tell them to go play with canray . .

Also:
did anybody actually read the FACEBOOK entry?

and here it goes: The second Shadowrun project to release in 2013 just got announced on kickstarter. And it is led by none other than Jordan Weisman himself! Both Shadowrun Returns and Shadowrun Online will work together creatively and we have some ideas how to connect both products, but for now let's go and support the developers of either.

This could well be the prequel to SRO!

[JonathanC]

Yeah, and the announcement on Shadowrun4.com includes a note that there will be a Shadowrun 2050 sourcebook for playing in the 2050's with SR4A rules.

[coolgrafix]

And thus begins The Great Re-release. I would love to take folks thru Harlequin, UB, etc. with the new rules, but too much work. Perhaps our friends at Catalyst intend to release updated classic modules to take advantage of the 2050 sourcebook. Otherwise, why bother? =)

Just a shot in the dark from someone not involved in that project.

Ok, i pledged my 150$. Or 115€. You know, REAL money . .
And it's already at 125k O.o

[Adarael]

Mitch Gitelmen gets pelted by vegetables for Shadowrun 2007.
(Mitch is a nice guy, AND a great sport. I am totally unsurprised he did this.)

[Paul]

I might be the only person who just doesn't care about a Shadowrun video game. Call me if they write an actual RPG, but I didn't play the first Shadowrun video game and I won't play this one.

[Stahlseele]

Hell, i'd be happy enough if this were on the Fallout Tactics Engine!

I mean for comming to my home town to run a game...

[CanRay]

Like I have US$10K sitting around. I wish I did... No, I kicked in a much more modest amount, but more than the minimum.

Let's just say that I'll never leave home without DocWagon ever again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[Stahlseele]

i wonder if somebody actually did the 10k pledge and told them to go to your house for a game . .
if i had that kind of money, i would have done that ^^ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

I went for the Doc Wagon Gold Card.

[Stahlseele]

There's an update:

You read the disclaimer, did you? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Having private insurance, I'm somewhat disappointed...

[Stahlseele]

I did.
But the disclaimer you mean is at the platinum card (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) ^^

If i thought i was any good with level/run-designs, i would have gone for the 250$ pledge too . .

And a second 10k pledge o.o

[binarywraith]

Erf! Good eye. Patrick.

But why!? Why? Assuming it's an IP issue until otherwise informed. Because otherwise... why? =)

Because Shadowrun was better before the bullshit AR stuff.


There. I said it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grinbig.gif)

Actually, this might be the one thing that gets me to take another shot at running SR4A. Give me non-houserules to bring back deckers and the mage/shaman divide ala 2050, and it might be worth switching up for the rules streamlining.

Either way, kicked in some cred on this.

[Stahlseele]

Because Shadowrun was better before the bullshit AR stuff.

You are a bit late to THAT particular party. You are right though ^^


Also: they are going to crack 200k on the first day if this keeps up o.o

[Patrick Goodman]

Current rate, they're going to crack $200K before I finish this post; they were at $198K and change when I started....

[remmus]

They won't take paypal! They won't take my money!

actually I asked them on the kickstarter page and they do plan to set up a seperate paypal option.

[Bull]

Mike Mulvihill and Co asked a few of us to help field questions for the Shadowrun Returns Kickstarter project. Note, I'm not involved with it at this point, and I can't actually answer any questions. Outside of getting a heads up this was coming a couple days ago, I know no more than any of you do so far (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

that said, look for the Questions thread, which I will be creating shortly. Questions may not get answered in that thread (I imagine they'll appear on the Kickstarter page as FAQ updates), and I request that you keep all conversation confined to this (or other) threads, and keep that thread clear so that it's easy for the Shadowrun Returns guys to find your questions.

Bull

[Stahlseele]

And they cracked 50% on day one!

[remmus]

wish i were rich enough to basically fund something like this alone . .
i'd have funded both this and SRO <.<
why are there not more nerdy millionaires into gaming? ._.

[Demonseed Elite]

I love this idea. Love it.

[Paul]

On the one hand I can't believe everyone is this excited about a video game,let alone an FPS. Then I remember everyone else likes video games. So the question I have is do any of you see this diverting attention, funds or investment from the Table Top Game? Because that's what I love, and if i were going to donate that's what I'd donate too.

I get everyone's really excited, so i'm sure someone will just be like "Jeesh Paul sure is a stick int he mud!" But all I want is the game I love supported, not the video game that pales in comparison to the actual experience of gaming. Why pretend to be a Street Samurai in your basement on your PC when you can sit at the table and do it with friends, some cold libations and snacks?

1. Why do you think that this is an FPS, when every time someone talks about it, they mention that it is an RPG, and the Kickstarter page describes it as an RPG with tactical combat?

2. Why would playing the videogame and playing the RPG be mutually exclusive? I run Shadowrun every week, and I still play videogames.

3. There is nothing stopping you from donating money to Catalyst if you want to support further pen and paper development (A Shadowrun product similar to Paizo's upcoming Bestiary Box would be awesome).

[Stahlseele]

This will be a 2D(no, not a typo) RPG with turn based game play . .
think fallout1/2/tactics here . .

[Paul]

I'm no video game expert, so forgive me if I'm mis-describing it.

I don't think that playing the video games means you have to exclude playing the RPG but if my experiences tell me anything it's way easier for people to play World Of Warcraft tan it is to get a D&D game together. This, at first glance, reminds me a little of that sort of scenario. I'm not saying this has to be the case, or that this is some hhow the doom of the industry-rather just pointing out something that kind of bugs me a little. Sorry if that makes me some sort grognard.(I admit up front my bias against video games-I just don't play them that much. I'm not down on people who do-how you use your free time is your choice.)

And finally if Shadowrun organizes a "Kick-starter" I'll gladly kick in. I buy pretty much all of their products-I'm even considering caving on my long standing bias against Missions stuff.

[Paul]

I've never played either of those games. Is it similar to Vice City? I don't PC Game. Hell, I don't even do gaming systems. So I'm way out of the loop on the lingo.

[Stahlseele]

Vice City . . is a 3D 3rd Person Real time game and . . wait a second . . wait . . just . . wait . . what . . back up . .
HOW CAN THERE STILL BE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THE ORIGINAL FALLOUT! @.@

[Paul]

I get all the real violence I need at work. The rest I get from movies and RPG's. Video games not that interesting to me, plus a few years back I had someone try to break my right hand at work. So now my hand is a little jacked up, which means when I do play video games it starts hurting after a while. (I don't do much hand writing these days because of it actually.)

But I'll look it up.

[DeathStrobe]

I've never played either of those games. Is it similar to Vice City? I don't PC Game. Hell, I don't even do gaming systems. So I'm way out of the loop on the lingo.

Think of it more like chess. A strategy game, you take turns, and the rules will be a little more complex and less abstract.

[Paul]

Thanks. I'll do some reading on this. I'm not trying to be down on the video game, rather just expressing my love for the RPG!

[Stahlseele]

Fallout is an post apocalyptic turn based RPG in isometric view. It has the meanest sense of humor you will find in the history of gaming. And so. many. nerdy. references!

[Elfenlied]

I hope the combat gameplay will be akin to Jagged Alliance 2 (not the new turd remake).

[Draco18s]

This game might end up separating me from a thousand of my hard earned dollars.

God damn them. *Shakes fist*

[Mirilion]

2 backers get to enjoy the 10000$+ reward...

It's been up on Kickstarter now for around 13hours.... and is now 65 % funded.... Took me about 10 second to justify a car payments worth of a pledge. This so makes my week..

[ShadowDragon8685]

You know, I wouldn't mind a Shadowrun FPS, if it were actually Shadowrun and not something completely different with the Shadowrun logo tacked on. I'd love to see AR in full first-person realization, the overlay of a Smartgun Link when I blow a hole some poor fragger's chest, or project into the Astral (the game will have Astral Projection, right?) and go toe-to-toe with a big nasty spirit armed with only my wits and my weapon focus.


Anyway, wow. Two people have already stumped for the 10K one? Wow.

[Bull]

Paul: From what i can tell, they're aiming to capture the style and some of the gameplay of the SNES game.

Since this has come up a couple times, Mike expanded on their comment from teh FAQ rearding paypal:

From Mike Mulvihill @ HBS:
First thank you if you have donated!

We cannot accept Paypal donations until we have reached our minimum pledge of the $400,000, simply because PayPal does not allow us to return money once collected (just incase we don't make our goal). Therefore the sooner we hit $400,000 the sooner Paypal turns on and the sooner international fans of Shadowrun can donate. We are sorry about the confusion. Continue to check out the Kickstarter page and check our FAQ at the bottom of the page for other common questions.

Paul: From what i can tell, they're aiming to capture the style and some of the gameplay of the SNES game.

AWESOME ! The SNES game atmosphere is terrific! (plus its Noir-jazz music rock! )

And dammit, I completely forgot I wanted to stat up Jake Armitage for the Spril Fools Street Legends book! Ahh well... next year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Once I had Jake Armitage as my pet mary sue NPC.

Holy crap, they are at around 80% of their funding and it hasn't even been a full 24 hours yet. As soon as I can scrape together some money I am going for the $60 tier. It is what I would pay for a console game, and I want this way more than any console game I have played.

Oh god... i can't breathe ... where's the paper bag??

Oh no! And two of the 'play with Mike Mulvihill slots are already taken!!! Who can I kill in the next day to get that sort of scratch? (Also, anyone know if he's planning to run SR4? I don't play SR4.)
