Greatest Turn-Based Tactical RPG Of The Day

It's getting that way, isn't it? And isn't it wonderful?

Anyway, today it's Shadowrun, for PC, iOS thingies, and Android thingies.  They've only got 1.5% 4.5% 58% 79% of funding so far - but then, the project launched about an hour two eleven sixteen hours ago.*


* I checked, and at the time I spotted it, it had been active for an hour and had raised nearly $4000.  In the following hour, it's raised another $14,000, and is still accelerating.

1 Shadowrun is not nearly obscure enough.  When and if either Traveller/Classic Traveller/MegaTraveller/Traveller 4, Twilight/Merc: 2000, Renegade Legion, Space: 1889, or 2300AD gets a Kickstarter project for any of them, then we will know that the tipping point has been reached.

2 I want to see some of the older TSR games come across as 2D tactical RPGs - Gamma World, Top Secret, Star Frontiers.  I loved Star Frontiers.

If they'd just kept right on making those Infinity Engine games (Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Planescape Torment) I'd still be buying them today.

3 Dork Tower is riffing on Kickstarter. (3 comics so far)

4 The first two are disturbingly accurate.
