You should be able to, I registered mine when I got my key last week.
Maybe the server is just down? (Yay, DRM)
Don't have it in front of me, but if this fellow is correct
then it's kbm.
I'm usually not very good at learning this type of thing, but I'm motivated for this puppy.
Aw yeah.
The FPS was an offical MLG game. To get such a good high quality game should make a true Shadowrun happy. To think that Shadowrun should only be represented as a strick rpg is small minded. The general concept of J.R.R. Tolkien mixed with Neuromancer are there. Fantasy races, magic spells, cyber-technology are represented.. A manabolt spell wouldn't work...it is sort of like when a book gets made into a film...some changes need to be made.
I think it's great Shadowrun is selling on Steam. I'm guessing 5 year deal between Microsoft and Jordan Weisman hasn't been renewed? With 5th edition of Shadowrun rpg comming out and the sucess of the kickstarter the Shadowrun license has got to be more expensive.
Urge to purchase rising...
We already have a few of those
I hope it only keeps rolling, especially with RPG's. Between this and the potential of Torment and Eternity I'm in hog heaven.
This was mentioned in the first reply to this thread with adj_noun's excellent aggregate of useful links, but in case someone missed it, there is a lengthy Shadowruns PDF handbook that seems to cover basically anything you'd want to know about the world (or get a refresher on if it's been a while).

I'm about to delve into it myself.

Great news about the writing quality, that's fine by me. As an avid adventure gamer, I really think this will be the big appeal for me. The fucking art is beautiful as well. Can't WAIT to see what the community will do. I predict this game will live a long life full of fantastic mods.
What about the embargo?

With Gianna Sisters, Kentucky Route Zero and Chivalry they already had a good record. For the record I have a soft spot for LSL even though it's a fairly mediocre game.
I didnt know Knetucky Route was a kickstarter.
Holy shit my mind is blown. Was funded in 2011 for 8503$ with 205 backers. What the hell. Did they get picked up by a pub or something?
Nobody who has played through it has spoken about the length. People are assuming a certain length based on the dev time, budget and studio history. They could very well be correct, but they are assumptions.

8/10 from EuroGamer is a mighty fine score. Even more pumped for this now.
I'll take quality over quantity.
It's (less than) $20 dude.
I've heard 12 hours or so.

Why are people worried about the length of the developer's story Dead Man's Switch?
You do know there will be a lot campaigns on Steam Workshop that are much longer.

Depends on the game. For something like this that doesn't have as many systems in place as like a Project Eternity or Cyberpunk presumably do, absolutely.

Heck, Rhapsody was about 6 hours long, and it's fantastic.
I honestly have such low standards for kickstarter projects i feel like 12 hours is an impressive length. There might come a day where we expect a lot from a KS game but im not feeling that. Ironically they might end up more exceptional because of the pressure to deliver to the fans that invested more than usual.
Ditto, and good pacing is a significant part of narrative quality. That's not to say a relatively lengthier game can't be well-written (Planescape: Torment), but that's comparatively more difficult to execute properly, and its rarity demonstrates that.
A shorter, leaner narrative is more likely not to suffer any unintentional lulls and misfires.

No offense to you in particular. But this is the attitude that confounds me. It was a really awesome shooter, as as a Shadowrun AND FPS fan, it was exactly what I would have wanted.
That game is so severely unappreciated.
Exactly. The game was shit on because of the genre. Nothing more. As a shooter it had some really great ideas, and they were actually pulled off well. It's a shame. It really, really needed more maps.

How long will it take for the modding community to put out epic campaigns?
Couldn't resist after seeing MrCompletely's post about keys for $13 on ebay.
