Might as well chime in with another Kickstarter in progress for a spiritual successor of another famous RPG: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/torment-tides-of-numenera http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/torment-tides-of-... Kickstarter has been really great so far for people, like myself, who were and are very fond of the "old school" type of RPGs.

Yeah, I'm surprised the Torment KS didn't appear on HN after it ended up being the fastest KS to hit 1 million (8 hours).

  According to HN Search, several people posted it but none of them got more that 5 points.

Kinda happy this seems as bad as it does, prevents me from backing yet another project so shortly after Torment.

  I backed Torment and Project Eternity but I'm also backing this. I spent a good chunk of the 90s immersed in games by Origin and I'm now interested in seeing what Garriott can do without the shackles of a publisher (EA, back in the day).

    I don't believe that an online game can be a quality RPG until I see a finished product and reviews.

      I understand. I'm not expecting this to have the story depth of a single player RPG. I'm expecting more of a sandbox MMO like Ultima Online or Starwars Galaxies (pre NG).

I have backed it (and did link it on HN), but let's see how this and Wasteland 2 turn out before rejoicing.

If you're a fan of adventure games, there's Dreamfall: Chapters too. Only a few hours to go! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/redthread/dreamfall-chapters-the-longest-journey?ref=live http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/redthread/dreamfall-chap...
