Avatar thief!!!! lol
Cant wait till the first screenshots come out, im finding it hard at the moment to get a mental picture of their proposals. Although id be totally fine if it looked exactly the same as the SNES version but with new content!

Oh god. I want Physical Adepts to be in so bad. Might have to up my pledge...
I would be surprised if they weren't in, even if they don't make 1.75m

The last 48 hours are the most intense. I wouldn't worry just yet. If we're still far away at 24 hours left, then there's a problem.
Not worried at all. Hopefully things pan out well and we'll see more FASA stuff down the road.
After playing some Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 and how the kill shots work I got to thinking about how Renegade Legion: Interceptor would work really well with such damage modeling. Seeing a visual of how the damage rips thru the ship. Renegade Legion has intresting damage overlays in the boardgame version and it would probably work well in a video game version done in the style of Ghost Warrior 2.

That's highly dependent on the kickstarter, some will get a boost, others not so much. It would be great if it gets a big push at the end and hits 2 mil, and they unveil some new info as a result.

I can't think of any successful gaming Kickstarter that didn't get a boost at the end.
This goal is kind of lackluster, once again though, imo. I hope it does reach 2 mil.

What else could they really have added? They've already said they weren't really going to add major new gameplay features or anything. The most they could do is promise expanded content.
Anyway this is huge for me. Physical adepts was the one thing that was missing for me for this game.
They said it's going to be a turn based rpg in the vein of the old X-Com games.

Am I the only one who things they've been intentionally trying to constrain how much money they receive? The additional content since the second city was added have been no where near as expansive. Why not a third city instead of a special mission or an extra class? Why not extra classes?
It's on track to barely pass $1.75 mil do don't get your hopes up.
My prediction for the final 24 hours of Wasteland was about right, so my prediction for the final 24 hours of Shadowrun will be... $150k.
Edit: Wait, I was basing that on incorrect information. $180k.
(If someone could nab a screengrab with 24 hours to go - It'll be early in the morning for me - I'd like to see how wrong I end up!)

$15 is pretty negligible in this day and age. Plus, it will probably cost $20-30 upon release. So, I would splurge now, save later.

They haven't said how long the campaign will be, have they?

Edit: Wrong thread.
Until they know how much money they're working with that's a pretty hard thing to estimate.

Minor update posted, looks to be the last one before the final bell rings. Just some of the dev team + friends going over what Shadowrun means to them, yadda. They all seem to care and appreciate it so I imagine we should get a very nice game out of it 
I finally forked over $125 their way.

They just put up one last update. Wondering if they can get to 2 million in the last 15 hours. It's not going to happen, but they have crossed 1.75 easily now.
That exclusive backer content aside, which was fixed quickly, this has been hands down the best managed Kickstarter in my opinion. A lot of it comes down to the passion that Jordan has shown in his videos. I really hope this turns into something special.

I'd like to point out that they said they need 233k to get to 2mil, yet on the KS page they are only at 1.721. This means they have about 45k or so in PayPal.

New Update:
Hopefully, the Wil Wheaton bump happens. He has quite the following.
Also, I'm looking forward to their final update; I expect some tears... and a surprise thank-you.

I half expect their final update to be them all huddled around, shooting the shit in general and giving thanks, while running a P&P game session of it---at least that'd be nifty and appropriate all considered.
Agreed on this being one of the better managed examples yet despite the shortcomings alongside the likes of Banner Saga.
Hell, if only geography and various other inconvenient facts of ownership and such were not a thing, I'd like to think seeing the success of a "niche" P&P entity like Shadowrun compared to the likes of D&D would stir up folks at the other comparable projects/outfits, like The Dark Eye, to also take a crack at a pitch and get in on the reasonably budgeted action.

Chipped in $30 as well.
I want to hear a specific 2 million goal. If it's something really cool we might still get there with a big last minute push.

They are. Roughly 1.807mil or so, based on their last PayPal number.
