Now as a stand-alone campaign!

Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut, a fully-fledged expansion pack becomes a stand-alone campaign set in the legendary setting where cyberpunk meets fantasy, is available on GOG.com for only $14.99.

Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut, transports runners to the Free City of Berlin, a thrilling Shadowrun setting full of gorgeous new hi-res environments, a diverse new cast of characters, and a new soundtrack by Sam Powell, the composer of the original Sega Genesis Shadowrun game. You'll lead a small team of shadowrunners, each with their own outlook and backstory. The members of your team are designed to play unique roles during missions, and each has a distinct set of skills, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses.

The Director's Cut edition adds a host of new content and enhancements to the original game: 5 all-new missions, alternate endings, new music, a redesigned interface, team customization options, a revamped combat system, and more - making it the definitive version of this one-of-a-kind cyberpunk RPG experience.

Important notice: Owners of the DLC version of Shadowrun: Dragonfall will receive the Director's Cut version FREE. Please check your game shelf for a code for Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut.

If you are looking for one of the best cyberpunk RPGs ever released, then you need to grab Shadowrun: Dragonfall, for only $14.99 on GOG.com.

skinandbones13: I think that Dragonfall Director's Cut is the only version you can buy now and it doesn't sound like it comes with the original Dead Man's Switch campaign.
"Shadowrun returns" (including DMS) is still available on GOG (I just checked the store). The Berlin Campaign is now a full game instead of a DLC, but the first game is still there.

inc09nito: Well, if you say so. I've got to admit that I haven't given it a try yet. At the moment all I can say is that I am really confused which of the two I should buy, because it seems they are sold separately. So again:do I have to buy both to get the "complete" experience? or just one?
"Shadowrun returns" includes the Dead Man's Switch campaign, while Dragonfall includes the new Berlin Campaign. Both are comlete games. The 2 campagns are completely independant (different story, different city, different characters), so you can get either one without losing out. Or get both if you want both campaigns.
It would be a little more complicated with amateur content (a big part of these games), since it's unlikely the same content will be developped for both.

Almost makes me regret I played through both DMS and Dragonfall not so long ago...
Thanks, GOG and Harebrained Schemes!

This is the problem.

They should have updated SRR with all the new features seen in Dragonfall Director's Cut. This would've happened if they'd released this in dual form as DLC and standalone, which they should have done. Instead, it's like a middle finger to those that like to GM their own scenarios in SRR.

People are confusing Shdowrun Returns with Dead Man's Switch. DMS was the campaign that came with SRR. The main game was like an RPG rulebook (using old pen and paper RPG terms), which is why it's so puzzling for GMs as to why HBS chose to only put the upgrades in, what was, a DLC campaign. Releasing it as a standalaone game and not giving SRR players the extra tools.

The problem might have been that updating SRR would break compatibility with older saves (and older fan content) if the update is thorough enough. Not sure it's that, but it's possible. Updating an older program without breaking something becomes increasingly difficult with time. It was probably simpler for them to make a clean restart.

Nevermind, problem solved
