More Ghost in the Shell?
Hello everyone! If it isn't already known, I am the creator of the GITS campaign made in Shadowrun Returns. Although it was a project spawned from a design challenge, I had a lot of fun building this content for you guys to enjoy. To tell you the truth, I was very concerned that it would be rarely played and disliked (for good reason, totally different universes and audiences!).

Now, only a month after its release and with over 2500 subscribers, I can say that at the very least, the SRR community interest was piqued. Thank you for playing and trying it out! Feedback has been generally positive so I feel like I hit some fun nails on the head.

Seems the main piece of critique was that "It was too short!" to be called a campaign. After a little while, I came to agree with them. It is very short, and despite meeting my original objective of an immersive GITS experience, I crave more. Members of the community crave more.

Even while I was working on this small stand-alone module, I toyed with the idea of a Three Act campaign (Though I would prefer to release them altogether), with your character rising from nothing to become a member of Section 9 and save the country of Japan from more than one big bad. Of course, the scope was too large so I held off and focused attention elsewhere. I tried to build a variety of other Shadowrun-centric campaigns, with varying levels of progress, but nothing had the same spark I had from working on GITS.

So, I've come back refreshed from the break and I feel reinforced by what response I've received from the UGC players.

Now, I want to pose the question to you: would you like to see more Ghost in the Shell content on the new Director's Cut editor?

Some quick facts about the campaign itself:
-Would take place from 2029-2030, before Stand Alone Complex with unique storyline.
-Mostly linear with the possibility of hub-investigation areas.
-Actual character creation allowed (But Samurai and Decker will be the only recommended classes)
-I want to experiment with Advanced/Prestige Class (Mostly for narrative purposes, but could have bonuses involved)
-Some focus on lore cybernetics would be cool!
-Mix of Actual and "Fake" Matrix sequences.
-A focus on solo play: I want the main character to feel like a badass who can stand on their own. Of course, being part of the Section 9 team gives them backup when they need it.

Let me know what you think. I'd love to play around with this in my free time even if no one wants it, but if others do, it always inspires me to work a little harder.

I've been waiting for someone to do something besides Shadowrun with this engine, and this is just perfect. GITS is sorely lacking in good games.

As a GITS fan, I would LOVE more content of it in Shadowrun, it gives the game a new spark and playability.
