I very much doubt it since there are 2 paths which can be taken when it comes to Harrow.

I'm so going to back this. Dragonfall was awesome.
Technically, the initial $100'000 are a stretch goal already

Right now it seems very likely that they'll end closer-than-not to a million donationbucks.
It'll be very interesting to see what the strech goals are beyond companion quests.

Best part about this project...people know what they're getting, and they want more of it.
I'm still blown away by how great the two campaigns were. I enjoyed Returns / Dragonfall more than most AAA titles I played last year.

Backed at the 25$ level. Game + OST + novel sounds like a great deal to me. I hope the novel is at least as good as the stuff we got out of the Wasteland 2 KS, even though it seems like I was the only one on the face of the planet that actually read them and enjoyed that they put the effort out to do something like that =\

Almost halfway to the second.

Completely understand HBS is dropping the tablet version but still disappointed. I much preferred playing on a tablet for Dead Man Switch.
Maybe, if the kickstarter keeps going at this rate, HBS could add a stretch goal for controller support or a console port.

I am guessing those stretch goals are "lame" on purpose. I bet you that they probably expected this to do a lot more than $100k but went with a low initial goal on purpose.

At least it wasn't a $1 goal - that's just wrong.
Here's an interview RPGamer did to Mitch Gitelman, co-founder of Harebrained Schemes:

For me I'm most excited about the VA stretch goals. While I don't mind reading, I think some voiced exposition will add to the immersion on the story.

Pardon the Chummerspeak, but Slap my Hoop and Call me JetBlack!
I feel like taking out a 15k loan to grab the 10k Pledge, fly to Seattle, and play SR with the greats..
That $500 level is big, big news for older players.. we haven't had an opportunity to get into the lore since Super Tuesday and Dunklezahn's Will..
Think about it, that's an opportunity for one of your runners to appear, even in passing, in the Canon lore of Shardowrun. That's insane and amazing.
And on top of that they're making a tabletop sourcebook for the campaign!! I've been wanting to run my players (I GM a 2050's campaign) through something like Dragonfall since it came out
EDIT: Time for a Celebratory Avatar Switch, methinks.

That's Shadowrun Online. Different Developer, they did Jagged Alliance online, et al. Had a reeeeeeally rough start, but it's shaping up to be a really fun (If brutally difficult) Online StratRPG.

I like that they kept the goal reasonable.
I backed the original Kickstarter for $125 (physical box tier), but I only did $55 this time. I'm just not ever going to put the sourcebooks to good use.

At 1 million, the graphics go from awesome to orgasmic.

If we assume they end the first 24 hours with about $250k and that the first day accounts for about 35% of the total, they'd end up with around $700k when they're finished.

Well thats 150k now chummers, this is easy gunna hit 300k
A little late, but dang funded already. I also forgot to mention how glad I am they dropped mobile support as the UI and other things in the first two were clearly designed around it to the detriment of the PC. The PC sales must of just blown it out of the water for them to just completely abandon support like that.
Nice that should allow them to add a few more stretch goals.

I'm in for $25. Full size digital map could come in handy and the ebook novel could be a fun read. I missed the original KS campaign so I jumped onto this one straight away. Both previous games are some of my favourites of the past few years so there's no way I'm missing this one. Hong Kong is a perfect setting for cyberpunk and the new additions like better controls and animations sound great. PC only is good to hear too, better scaling and even prettier.

I can't back until I get home, but I think I'm in for $55.

They haven't even updated the image for passing $150K yet.
I love when devs underestimate Kickstarter and have to scramble.

It's updated. Hit refresh.

Second goal reached. If this continues at this pace they're going to have to come up with additional funding goals fast
It might even be an additional side mission to ones that are already part of the main game. Maybe its a second one.

You know it is a new year proper when you can see a great game project on KS and just grin and nod to yourself at the monitor as the totals tick up...and up...and up throughout the first day of getting launched well past the initial goal.
Every other team or individual that comes back to KS after a successful first round within this last year or 2 has got to be taking some notes while having their own hopes bolstered that it can indeed be alright---2015 is going to be such a crazy year on Kickstarter.

I'm looking forward to the inevitable first "OMG, you guys are awesome!"-update. Love those.

Here's a stretch goal I'd like to see: much more varied (both aesthetically and functionally) Matrix!
Probably. Or maybe it's just an extra mission on top of the regular side missions since Dragonfall already had special missions for each of your crew members.
