I did my pledge and retweeted it to all the people I know. Now we wait ;)
We always hear people say they wished some one would make an old school RPG, time to put your money were your mouth is.

Isometric? check
Turn based? check
Party based? check
Made by the guys responsible for some of the greatest RPGs ever? check

Ever since the Double Fine success I've been waiting for some one to do this and after the direction Bioware went with Dragon Age 2 these Kick starter programs are probably our only chance to get a game like this

PoSSeSSeDCoW: I think it's pretty safe to say that it won't reach its goal.

OmegaX: It's at $200,880 right now and it's been less than a day since it started. It may not be a huge success like the Double Fine Kickstarter but I don't think it's doing bad at all.

goral: That's why we need to advertise it everywhere we can so that people will know about it.
I knew I should have marked it as sarcasm after I posted. Since it got $200k in less than a day, I think it's pretty clear it'll exceed its target.
This is the most I ever paid for a game!

And I might spent another 50$, if Andree makes the poster. But I still have time to decide...

Grrr I hate them! I already spent a ridiculous amount in the Double Fine one and now this... and DRM-free... and Wasteland 2...

Good thing there is only 2 "standard" games that interest me this year otherwise my gaming budget would have gone through the roof.
There, I did it, and I'm gleefully proud.

Don't count on it!

I was actually saving up for a bunch of vintage Computer Gaming World magazines I saw on eBay, but then with the Tim/Ron adventure game Kickstarter coming to an end, I had to make a decision...
available through Steam and other DRM free digital distribution methods.
I hope this is just bad wording, because it makes it seem like they don't consider Steam DRM. If they don't consider Steam DRM, what else don't they consider DRM? =S
It seems that the devs understand us better since every kickstarter project I funded will give me steam or DRM free copy of the game for multiple platforms. Also, this is the only way to actually play games we want without compromises put on by the publishers. It may be niche gaming but I can see a great potential in this.
More power to the gamers and developers :D

Tim (and Ron?) will be getting one more Ben Franklin to wipe their arses with.

The most disturbing thing I saw while glossing over RPGCodex's W2 thread was a quote of someone from the Kickstarter comments asking if he could get the Steam version rather than the DRM-free version, because he didn't want the DRM-free version. O_O

You obviously do not know what sarcasm is and how to use it.

Now all people that know about Wasteland and visit sites such as RPG Codex and NMA are donating but these will eventually run out. The rest who doesn't care won't even know about it until they read it on Kotaku/Reddit or some other site and even then they might think that some no-name company that makes only 'sucky' games wants to steal their money by making an archaic game for mere 900 000 $ (that's actual comment from some retard on Polish site, paraphrased). Can we gather 1M $ only from people who played Wasteland and/or who do not like Bethesda games? Because otherwise I'm afraid it will be difficult.

The rate at which the amount of money increases has already dropped drastically after reaching 220k $. In comparison in the same amount of time DF managed to get $400k.
$50 from me. HURRAH!

One man's waste is another man's treasure.
30 days is plenty of time to get to that number. Also, Tim&co had a headstart by being first to start this trend. They might not repeat Tim's success but I can safely say they'll reach their target funds :)
Also, why do you care what some people say? Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, no matter how flawed it is and you are entitled to enjoy wasteland 2 after all these years :D Life is good!
