Kickstarter: Cool Stuff

[Tadanori Oyama]

I thought we could use a thread dedicated to cool things people find on Kickstarter or other pledge services, or for alpha buy-ins, things like that.

To start things off I found a cool looking Kickstarter: The Banner Saga. It's only got a few days left but it's well over it's target amount. Nice looking little RPG that's supposed to be ready in November. They've gotten some nice additions to their team with their overage money so far.

Project CARS, a AAA crowdfunded multiplatform racing simulation game, good part is that at the end of it you get a piece of the profits, and can play the game as its being developed, and help shape its features. Currently in pre-alpha status, with a release date ~March-May 2013.

Cristoforo: A digital revival of the original Call of Cthulhu game title Font and before that a Classic example of Victorian-Americana Typeface. I backed it because I really like the font style and am a fan of the classic Call of Cthulhu cover art and graphics, also being a graphic designer helped.

Here are two I'm supporting
Desktop Ballista.  17 Days to go.  Shoots toothpick sized botls

And Dungeon World RPG. 27 hours to go.  The story game answer to the old style DnD renascence.
