This looks highly promising, and when I saw it, I could only think about the crew here at FtB.

Looks like the original guy from FASA, Jordan Weisman, got the rights back to Shadowrun, and wants to make a turn based RPG out of it. They will also be making a level editor, so you can design your own runs and use other people's creations.

I think the one thing that got me most interested was the specific mention of the Sega Genesis version, and using that as an inspiration.

I just saw that as well. It looks very intriguing. I get the impression they want to essentially create a very specialized and purpose-built VTT for Shadowrun. I'd love to see this succeed and see other game makers follow suit.

It sounds more like Neverwinter Nights for Shadowrun. Which is a good thing. I backed it. Pssst. It's also a KickingItForward project. Which I know is getting a lot of "buzz" around here.

Looks interesting but I am probably going to drop 35 dollars on the Parsec kick starter soon. So lets see how much money I got left over in the next few weeks.

I was going to support it, but then I was like, "THAT'S COMMUNISM!"

Of it were d20 ShadowRifts, then maybe...

Interesting.

Looks like a cool project! Too many great kickstarters and not enough cash...

I'm not going to get back into the KickingItForward debate, if you want to rail on one side of that or the other, there's a thread for it.

It is in the 2050s part of the timeline. Hope that they are able to support later parts of the SR timeline in the level editor. Kind of want wireless matrix and AR.

The original tech in SR is well, obviously based on 80s trends as so gets portability amazingly wrong.

Maybe...but the idea of plugging your head into a terminal never gets old.

I wish one of the rewards was the iOS version.
