This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Shadowrun Online.

Shadowrun F2P MMO in the works. It's not what you would expect.

See here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODTXH63Hcbg&feature=player_embedded

Two ways to play. There's a kick starter for it.

They are working with the previously funded Shadowrun: Returns as well as the PnP crew at Catalyst Games. Tom Dowd is associated with them. Heck he approched them.

MMOs suck and shouldn't be kickstartered.

Quote"I played Dungeon World once, and it was bad. I didn\'t understood what was happening and neither they seemed to care, but it looked like they were happy to say "you\'re doing good, go on!"

My character sheet was inexistant, and when I hastly made one the GM didn\'t care to have a look at it."

Thanos

LOL. Here's the flip side. There should be no single player games. I had a bad experience once with one so they all must suck.

Look. I like both. There are things you can get in one you can't get in the other. Check out the links and if it's not for you it's not for you.

I hope it turns out well. I'm cautiously looking forward to it.
High Valor REVISED: A fantasy Dark Age RPG. Available NOW!
Hearts & Souls 2E Coming in 2019

It definitely intrigues me.
Don\'t mess with cats we kill wizards in one blow.;)

Latest Update.

Info overlays. Different characters see the world differently.

Ghost Whistler

I'm guessing this is a pc game with typical pc game specs :(
"Ghost Whistler" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Parental death, alien battles and annihilated worlds.

Thanos

@Ghost Whistler. NO.  Go look at the kick starter. OUYA supported.

That will mean having to buy an ouya, an unproven console that will probably retail for silly money. Ok, not as much as a brand new pc but still a significant sum of money. Could they not have done this on existing consoles, even factoring in how shit Microsoft is?

And unless my maths has failed me they are barely half way to their goal.

A little over half way. It has picked up an amazing amount of money in the last couple of days but still needs help. If your console only then this isn't for you but you should actually check it out to see if it's for you.
