    Pillars of Eternity

    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...oject-eternity

    They're going to make an old school RPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, and of course, Planescape Torment .

    Their goal is 1.1 million dollars, the site launched today and already has $583,000 dollars pledged.(By the time I post this it will already be more)

    I'm definitely ponying up some dough. No publisher, like Sega, EA, Lucas Arts or even Bethesda, to muck things up.

    I'm absurdly excited about the potential of this game.

    Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

    Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

    Ha, I was just checking them out over at Kickstarter. For sure has potential.

    With this, Wasteland 2, Dead State, and a bunch of other RPGs already FUNDED over there, it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

    New age of RPGs? Color me excited....

          This, as it sounds like I'll get a digital copy of the game, according to that rewards page. That's one hell of a genius way of using Kickstarter, seeing as the game will probably cost more than $20 at retail. It's limited though, about 6000 left, so if you want in at that price you'd better hurry (otherwise there's a $25 tier).

          Oh...and they're almost there already.

            Not bad for just starting, the demand is definitely there especially after some sub par 3d RPGS (Dragon Age 2!).

            Wonder if they will keep adding incentives like they are with Planetary whatever it is called from the Total Annihilation crew.

                A lot of times gamers just talk the talk, but this time they walked the walk too.

                  Hellz yea.

                  2013/14 could very well be the great RPG renaissance.

                  Haven't had much interest in the genre the last 10 or so years with all the action elements, and cinematics taking over.

                  Screw the publishers and bring back the traditional style RPGs !!

                      Re: Project Eternity by Obsidian-KickStarter Project

                      Get a load of this...



                      Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart has revealed that an unnamed publisher tried to use his company to exploit an Obsidian Kickstarter project:

                      Feargus - "We were actually contacted by some publishers over the last few months that wanted to use us to do a Kickstarter," he revealed on his teams own kickstarter page. "I said to them 'So, you want us to do a Kickstarter for, using our name, we then get the Kickstarter money to make the game, you then publish the game, but we then don't get to keep the brand we make and we only get a portion of the profits.'

                      "They said, 'Yes'."

                      I would of loved to see his face at that moment. Should of told them to f*** right off.

                        Linux version confirmed (it was initially a stretch goal at 2.2. mil, but they decided to do it anyway)

                        They also met the Mac version goal quite a while ago, as well.
