CalFree in Chains

Description
The California Free State has fallen. Only the People's University and a handful of allies dare to challenge General Saito's tyrannical reign, but how can so few hope to stand against the brutal power of the Protectorate and its megacorp backers?

Welcome back for one final run in the San Francisco Bay Area Sprawl! This campaign picks up shortly after the end of The Caldecott Caper.

Music

I strongly recommend downloading the Shadowrun Music Replacer, a standalone utility that updates the Hong Kong music. You’ll need to do this from a full Web browser, not the Steam one.
Quick download for Windows: Google[drive.google.com] or Nexus Mods[www.nexusmods.com]
Quick download for Mac: Google[drive.google.com] or Nexus Mods[www.nexusmods.com]
Music FAQ / More info / where’s Linux?

Status

This campaign is complete, and most players have been able to play from start to finish without encountering major bugs. If you run into any issues, just pop them into the bug thread so I can fix them!

More Info

See the FAQ for more information, tips, and hints.

Please be considerate of your fellow players and use spoiler tags when discussing plot. You can mark spoilers like this:

Was anyone else surprised to learn that [spoiler]Audran was working for Vauclair[/spoiler]?

Last but not least, if you like CalFree in Chains, please tell someone else about it! I have a Decking of 4 but a Charisma of 1, so I could use some more runners to help get the word out in Shadowland. Giving a thumbs up also makes the campaign more visible in Steam, which helps other players find it. Thanks in advance!

I played the first two (enjoyed them both) and started this one. My word is this a huge step down. The author has a huge character assassination of a long standing character. It pulled me out of the game early. The slow dribble of gear offers is very annoying. The companion characters are pretty much garbage and some of the least fun builds I have ever seen. I mean that, they are terribly unfun to play. Almost every fight is the exact same; spam grenades and come in waves (normally 2). I won't finish this I don't suggest anyone start it. I am very surprised this has such a high rating.

This may get better.

Such an incredible finale for the trilogy. So many touching, rewarding moments. You'd be lucky to get this level of character and story writing in any triple A game.
I could go on and on with flowery words, but for anyone thinking about playing this : Do it. If you liked the vanilla Shadowrun campaigns, play this trilogy, because it is better. As much as Harebrained schemes made awesome stories, this is even better.

A great game that stands the test of time.

For anyone still here I wanted to share a "trick" that you can do to have -1 essence (only possible thanks to your gills)

1) Cyber up (down to 1 Essence)
2) Change gills to inteligence boost (costs 2 more Essence but still possible) -> have -1 Essence

Now the interesting part is that the game starts to treat you differently. I guess some spells only work on things with at least 1 essence.

In short some spells don't work on you anymore like "Manaball"

On the down side you are also immune to most buffs, like aim or the active effects of at least some adept powers

But don't worry, "heal wound" still works

And most importantly you can finally play as a cyberzombie!

I just wanted to comment that I played this during the pandemic and still think about this often. The depth of the characters and writing were unmatched. I hope you're doing well and still working on games, Cirion. This campaign really touched my heart and torn it to pieces while also being incredibly fun to play.

Astonishing good, longer and higher quality than at least 2 of the official campaigns. The mod description really doesn't do it justice, sounding like a short lame "power of friendship" cliche campaign with army-tier enemy waves, but it isn't like that at all. Hits every mechanic (including adding a few new ones), has a variety of mission types (ie. combat only, full stealth possible etc. etc.), dumps an enormous amount of lore, has interesting characters (mechanically, personality and interaction options), choices made in dialogue have SERIOUS consequences, level design is varied and delightful and overall there is just a huge amount of polish. Ho boy I loved my time playing this.

Screw this. Sounds like it would have been fun to play but the fact that I can't easily download and install it means it was designed wrong.

Not working!

Subscribe to it... And then open hong Kong? The "updating UGC" flashing at the bottom of the main menu.

Seriously how the hell do I install this thing!
