The Caldecott Caper

Description
The lowest form of life in the Sixth World is that of the corporate rent-a-cop. You are paid a paltry wage for the privilege of defending the megacorps' ostentatious wealth from the desperate gangers of the Orkland Sprawl. Enter a world of turmoil, greed, and violence, as you struggle for survival with the help of a few hand-picked allies.

Return to the San Francisco Bay Area in this campaign for Shadowrun: Hong Kong, set between the events of Antumbra Saga and CalFree in Chains. Features include:

  • Story-driven gameplay. Your character’s personal tale will develop as the plot advances.
  • Recruit a small core of talented mercenaries and gain their loyalty. They will pay attention to your words and actions, and won’t always agree with you.
  • Make meaningful choices throughout the course of the campaign. The story is semi-linear, but you’ll find sometimes-surprising consequences to the decisions you make.

Ganbatte kudasai, and enjoy your return to CalFree!

Status

This campaign is complete and running smoothly for most players. If you run across any bugs, please report them to the bug thread so I can squash 'em!

Finally, if you enjoy The Caldecott Caper, please help spread the word! I'm awful at marketing, so I'll greatly appreciate any tweets, posts, or other forms of signal-boosting. Even a simple thumbs up on this page will make the Caper more visible within Steam and help other players discover it. Thank you!

@DrMcCoy: Welcome back! I'm glad the campaigns were memorable for you. I'm pretty sure I'll do something new eventually, but don't have any concrete plans at the moment. Most likely not another Shadowrun campaign, but you never know. I'll let folks know if and when I have something to share!

@Xadhoom13: Haha, thanks! I am in debt to HBS for releasing the editor and all the assets for use in community campaigns. I can't draw, so having all those images was a huge help in making this. Cheers!

@Mr Bobblehorse: Wow! Dragonfall is one of my favorite stories, I'm honored by the comparison. Thanks for playing!

@MajimaKing: Welcome back! It's great to see some veteran runners returning for One Last Job. I appreciate the endorsement!

@The Fool: Cheers for the endorsement!

@El Pollo Loco: Aw, thanks! I didn't set out to create a multi-protagonist arc from the start, but I'm pleased with how it turned out, glad you enjoyed it. Also glad that you were able to get the music you were looking for. Most of the tracks used to be available on Jon Everist's Bandcamp page, but I think Microsoft or someone forced him to take them down. Other tracks, including vocals, are available from Invocation Array's Bandcamp.

@hi3r0ph4nt: I appreciate the note, cheers!

@Kabalan20: Thanks for checking - no, Antumbra Saga is only available for Dragonfall. Many of the models it uses are broken in SRHK, as well as all the music being removed by HBS.

@nocez89: Thanks for the report about the insta-kill space in Baghdad By The Bay. That sounds like a bug, I'll investigate and hopefully release a fix!

@Chacho: That's kind of you to write, I'm glad you enjoyed the experience all the way through! I really enjoyed writing it.

@Korv: Oh, totally, Invocation Array has always felt perfect for Shadowrun, I feel really honored that they let me use their music here and for CalFree in Chains. I liked adding the little Antumbra cameos here, glad you clocked them!

@Pandemonium: Thanks for playing! I definitely learned a lot while making Antumbra Saga, pleased to hear that you felt this was a step up.

Shucks howdy! It's been a while, so I just wanted to pop in, say "Hello", and thank y'all who have continued to subscribe to, play, and recommend this campaign! I'm so pleased to see new people discovering my mod after so many years.

@Ara54 #Linux: Welcome back, I'm glad that this felt satisfying on a replay! I appreciate the offer of support - I don't have any plans to make a fourth chapter, but will let people here know if that ever changes!

@zio.faust.goddog: Thanks for playing!

@L4z3r: I appreciate you sharing that you liked the story and the design. Cheers!

@spaceninja80: Aw, thanks! Honestly I'm not surprised most modders haven't brought their expansions forward to the HK engine, HBS removed a lot of things from the SRR/DF engine that makes porting older mods very challenging. Thanks for checking out the other entries!

just replayed this mod after your initial release a few years ago and I love the opening and ending of this story! 10/10 for anyone who has not tried it yet.
Mr Bobblehorse 4 Jun @ 10:51am 
Amazing campaign, especially considering that this is basically one person's work. It's comfortably up there with Dragonfall in terms of writing and story. Really, really impressive.
Xadhoom13 28 May @ 9:46am 
I just completed the mod: it's really a good job! I can barely believe you did all of this, an entire story almost on par with the vanilla campaign, by yourself... it's astonishing! Congratulations and many many thanks for making and sharing this awesome mod!

I've been listening to the Shadowrun soundtracks again recently and remembered your campaigns and how much I loved them. I really need to replay them one of these days, but are your planning to do anything new, maybe?
El Pollo Loco 29 Oct, 2024 @ 10:21am 
Nevermind, I managed it with Game Extractor!

Now I will go and listen to HongKong-Combat-Kowloon-Int2 20 000 times on repeat.

Hello cirion.

I recently finished the Saga, and just started Caldecott Caper, and I just wanted to say how much I love your campaigns. This all must have been so much work, and you provide it for all of us to enjoy for free in the fantastic game Harebrained developed for us. I am very grateful, I am absolutely entranced with the story, and how I can experience one big event as it develops through the years, through eyes of multiple protagonists. You deserve an award of some sort.

I have one plea for you: I am currently playing the Caper with your music replacer, even though you don't recommend it. Could you please somehow provide the tracks so I can listen to them outside the game? I am absolutely in love with so many of your replacement tracks. I tried to extract the resS file with Audacity as some users suggested but keep getting an error. I tried other ways, and I just can't work my way to extracting the tracks :(
