Do I need a Shadowrun messenger bag?

I think I need a Shadowrun messenger bag.

Looks like we're getting messenger bags.

 

[Stratosphere]

I wonder if they have any other stretch goal ideas beyond 300k. I have a feeling they will get there.

 

[Durante]

Looks like we're getting messenger bags.

At least it will be something I actually use, not like most physical kickstarter rewards which just sit on my shelf.

 

[Jag]

Pledged!

 

[mclem]

Mildly surprised there's apparently no tier that gives more than two sourcebooks.

 

[ArjanN]

Is Dragonfall really that good?

Yes. Oh, and play the Dragonfall Director's Cut version if you're going to play it.

 

[doubleplusgood]

WTF. It's the 13th and you already finished 2 RPGs? Now, they aren't the longest, but that's still a pretty good pace.

Since it was right after new year I had a lot of free time after work, not much else was going on .

You'll end up showing you messenger back in your shelf so it doesn't worn out with use.

 

[Snapshot King]

In the time it took me to watch the video and read through the page I saw it jump nearly 25% of its goal. Somehow I think this is going to be done before 3pm EST. On to the stretch! Now about that messenger bag...hrmm.

 

[Durante]

3/4 of the way to the initial goal now.

 

[mclem]

Pledged. Might change the values down the line, but for now, I'm in slightly higher than I was for the first Kickstarter.

 

[LurkerPrime]

I wonder if they have any other stretch goal ideas beyond 300k. I have a feeling they will get there.

If the last listed stretch goal is any indication, it will be companion quests.

No, it's a fresh campaign. The FAQ at the bottom of the kickstarter explains why.. basically for balancing and story reasons.

Having said that, I do think it's time they start to add more detailed references to previous titles in the story. Make the world more interconnected somehow.

Excellent. It's for the best.

IIRC there was some sort of reference in Dragonfall to DMS, but maybe I'm imagining it. HK campaign will probably acknowledge the previous campaigns happened without needing to be intricately tied to them.

That was fast lol

 

[Surbii]

Will the Windows copy of the game be on Steam?

 

[AbsolutBro]

Do I need a Shadowrun Returns messenger bag to go with my Shadowrun Returns dog tag USB key?

Bet your ass chummer.

 

[MrCunningham]

Will the Windows copy of the game be on Steam?

Steam and GOG, I would imagine.

Already up to $84k.

 

[Surbii]

Ok backing then.

 

[blackw0lf]

Is Dragonfall really that good?

In terms of writing, story, and characterization, I can't think of an RPG last year that was better.

 

[Dennis]

Those stretch goals are lame.

I want a more complex game with loot and inventory.

 

[5taquitos]

Will the Windows copy of the game be on Steam?

From the FAQ:

Will there be a DRM-free option?
Yes. DRM-free through GoG and the Humble Store.

 

[deleted]

I'm atm playing through Dragonfall and am enjoying it very much - I'm in. And the 100k enhancements are exactly things I'm missing right now.

15$ now, maybe more later...

 

[Lime]

Extremely happy with HBS and after backing with 125 the last time, I'll probably do something similar, although I don't need that messenger bag.

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

To what end? That's just not Shadowrun.

 

[ashecitism]

Almost there.

 

[Snapshot King]

Only backed 30 last time, and after how amazing Dragonfall was, I felt bad I didn't kick in more. 150 out this time.

Spoiler

Though cmon it's for the messenger bag you know it. You guys know how the pledge stuff works with international shipping? I pledge the 150 and shipping'll be a later added cost I guess?

 

[marrec]

I think I've paid more than $150 dollars for accessories that I wanted less and this one happens to actually come with a game which is nice too.

 

[Dennis]

wat

Shadow run is the setting. The CRPG can be as complex as you like. I like it complex.

In regards to looting and inventory. SR has never concerned itself with such things.

He means that looting is not part of the core ideas. It is actively discouraged in the game setting and tabletop because everything is tracked. Looting every run you do would be counter to the ideas of the property.

 

[Stone Ocean]

PC only? Oh boy! Can't wait to play this.

Wow, it's basically funded already lol

From their FAQ:

I’m not in the USA - How do I figure out my International shipping costs for the physical rewards?
You should be able to get a general estimate at http://postcalc.usps.com/. Our estimated weight for the messenger bag is 2-3 lbs, the collectible figures will be 3-4 lbs depending on how many characters are unlocked during the Kickstarter campaign.

And

Okay, I figured out my International Shipping costs. How do I give you the money???
After the Kickstarter closes, you'll receive a link to a tool that allows you to enter your shipping information and pay the shipping cost.

Spoiler

You have to show the bag in a video

 

[cirrhosis]

And it just hit 100K. I didn't anticipate it to climb so fast.

 

[ashecitism]

100k reached.

 

[Dennis]

In for $15 for now.

 

[kiyoaki]

Funded already. Wow.

 

[Stratosphere]

Goal reached in 2 hours. Amazing.

 

[Kenai]

I love Shadowrun and I love that messenger bag. Hmmmmmmmmm.

 

[Herla]

Well...that was easy.
1 million here we come.

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

Glad to see this was funded within a few hours coming out the gate. The series and dev's truly deserve it.

This will be my first Kickstarter (I'm generally against the idea but I have 100% faith in these guys). I haven't had chance to back it yet but will in a few days.

 

[E_Darkness]

Now to roll on those stretch goals. I just really want to see what Racter looks like. He has the potential to be the best looking character, though that is only because the cast in design doesn't compare to Dragonfall's Eiger and Glory. But when I say that I realise I really like Gobbet, Wu and Is0bel, it is just Dragonfall has cool looking characters.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Do I need a Shadowrun Returns messenger bag to go with my Shadowrun Returns dog tag USB key?

Bet your ass chummer.

Spent the extra to get the dogtags last time. They were borked. Got sent a new pair, also didn't work. Did some research and turns out they are a cheap brand. Gave up after that.

While I'd like one of those spiffy bags I have no faith in rewards like that. Still kicked in my $15 for the game though. That stuff is always quality.

 

[denshuu]

Awesome. Backed.

I hope Glory makes a cameo. Harrow would probably high tail it to Hong Kong at some point.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

I'll throw $15 or so at it before it comes to an end. Dead Man's Switch was just "okay" but Dragonfall was truly an A+ RPG experience.

 

[Zatoth]

Guess I'll stick with the 15$ level this time.

Messenger back looks nice and all, but at the moment I don't think I want to pay that much for it.

 

[5taquitos]

Funded in under two hours! Hope it blasts past the posted stretch goals, I'd like to see what else they can cook up.

 

[Twilight Princess]

I absolutely loved shadow run on iOS and dragon fall on my Mac. I'm tempted to drop 150 on the bag which I'll never use

 

[Sinatar]

Welp that didn't take long to get funded, stretch goals ho!

 

[ZoddGutts]

Had a feeling this would do very good on it's first day, only thing I'm surprise is the low funding goal, thought it would be around 400K. Anyways here's hoping they pass 300K soon so that they'll add more stretch goals/game content.

 

[-tetsuo-]

Fuck it buying Dragonfall right now.

The game is already funded, this is for extra features.
