Shadowrun Comes To Linux, MMO Planned 51
New submitter junkrig writes "After a highly successful Kickstarter campaign, Jordan Weisman, creator of Shadowrun, has returned to bring the series back to the screen as Shadowrun Returns; an old-school, turn-based tactical RPG. Their successful initial fundraising (over $1.8 million) allowed them to commit to developing a native Linux version of the game. A second team, working closely with Weisman, now hopes to bring a similar, turn-based Shadowrun game to life: Shadowrun Online. To be built with the Unity 4 engine, Shadowrun Online will be massively multiplayer and have native Linux support from the start — assuming, of course, they manage to fund their project. Both games are expected for release in 2013."

Linux is not your SeKrIt KLuB.
Also, you must be one of those people that stops liking a band that becomes popular.

I thought I'd never actually use that word here, but there it is, Linux hipsterism.

I always take about 100 to our Shadowrun gamedays, and it never seems to be enough for my friends.

I'll take my cyberpunk without the magic, please. Really, Shadowrun is little more than D&D with guns.
