Alright, so I just got off the call with HBS. They don't want to overcomplicate things, so this time my job will be a lot easier. We'll have a newspost about this later, but for now:

  • Everyone contributing $15+ will receive a Steam key for Shadowrun: Hong Kong. Note: This is different from KS $15 tier, as you will not receive the soundtrack. Unfortunately. However, that's okay, as we'll get something nice instead.
  • $2500 tier stuff stays the same for us.
  • At $3000, we get to add a bunch of references to the Shadowlands BBS that will need to fit in with the Shadowrun themes - and, of course, to glorify the Codexia. We are free to do as we like with our entries, but they will of course be proof-read and edited (if necessary).
  • No further tiers have currently been discussed, but if we raise a larger amount than the proposed $3000, they would be open to suggestions - as long as we can keep these ideas easy to implement without them going off the rails with the timetables.
That's them TL;DRs. They're pretty cool guys, by the way, had a pretty good talk.

Getting a copy of a game via codexia is always glorious, that was the good news I was waiting for, once more into the fray!

Wait, can I get a GoG copy through Codexia? Or only Steam copy?
Should be possible, forgot to ask about GOG but seeing their other games are there, and it's just down to sending a different system key, shouldn't be a problem.

This must be the reason the kickstarter raised a bit more this night.

Wondering if I should cancel my KS pledge in order to sink more into the Codex drive. Thoughts?

i made a cool backer icon for this so i might actually pledge. it's not a direct KS pledge so i'm not breaking my vow of ever backing a KS again. a bit like a fair maiden taking it up the ass to circumvent losing her virginity.

I dunno. Maybe wait and see how the fundraiser here will go? I'm pretty sure we should gather 3K easily enough with our affluent and enthusiastic community of RPG affecionados.

Maybe there should be a newspost about the Codex fundraiser? I'm sure some people aren't even aware that we're doing one.

Great deal you got with HBS Angthoron, I will put some money in the fund-raiser in February.
