Frankly this seems like spending $48k to bail water and $0 to actually plug the leaking hole. The hole could have been plugged in an hour. The hole should have been plugged years ago. Instead the developer wants $48k to bail water and STILL is making no commitment to plug the hole.

Note that pledges are more like donations as new version of ADOM will still be free for everyone on release.
Sooo who wants hard bound printed version (around 10 big tomes) of ADOM source for 50 000$? :-p
48K is a tad high for donating to what will essentially be a free release for all....

Music: http://www.indiegogo.com/dftd2012
I discovered this band when browsing bandcamp a few months ago and think they're awesome. You can check their music out on bandcamp: http://danceforthedying.bandcamp.com/
So I really hope their fundraiser takes off. Note that it is Flexible Funding campaign meaning they will receive all money pledged regardless whether they make their goal.
(Yes they can have my money regardless... :D)
Cheers

Since our kind host hasn't updated the front page, I'm not sure if this was posted before:
The Silver Cord -- A Techno-Epic Graphic Novel
This is for book #2.
Book #1 is available for free in pdf and cbz format on their website.
Go check it out, well worth it, imho.
And if you can, back it - they're struggling to make the $40K goal with only 12 days to go.

PC Games:
The Realm of Thyïlia - A revival of classical Role-Playing (Aug 6)
RPGs:
Republishing, Synnibarr: The original Scifi-Fantasy RPG (Aug 1)
Board Games:
Dragonmage Warfare™ (Aug 1)
Bootleggers -Prohibition Era Board Game (sorry no Zombies!) (Aug 3)
The Great Fire of London (Aug 18) *US/Canada backers only!*
Also a quick heads-up - Hoplomachus finishes in a few days (Jul 10). It's funded so it's now about stretch goals which have changed (2 higher-level ones are now included with the game). Anyone fancying a close encounter with a (cardboard counter) lion should find this better value than any safari!

Isn't that the game with giant flying fire-breathing clams?

Wikipedia knows more than I do about it - on the other hand given the rancid reviews its received (courtesy of RPG.Net and SomethingAwful) it may be better to drop it from the list. Sorry for not checking it more thoroughly - I saw Richard Garfield's name and my eyes glazed over...
As recompense, here's something justifiably awful!
The Horror In Clay Cthulhu tiki mug production run (Jul 12)

Yeah I saw Richard Garfield, then Synnibarr, and I was like "now why haven't I heard of Synnibarr before?"
I'm really pissed that Retrovirus didn't make it though. I lost another ounce of faith in humanity today - not even half the amount was raised. This is why we don't get nice things like Descent 4 or Terminal Velocity 2 anymore.

I just noticed this one called Moon Intern:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/larrypixel/moon-intern?ref=category
It sounds quite curious....I like the sound of the game having dynamic events. The focus on days and having a sort of day report reminds me a little of Pikmin too. (even though this game is nothing like Pikmin otherwise)
Aside from this and Jack Houston and the Necronauts there hasn't been many video games launched on kickstarter that caught my eye in any way. Most of the interesting ones have finished now or are just about to finish.

On the other hand Dressed to Win has still only received 1 pledge. Could it really be that a game offering the chance to "pay for parking, speeding tickets, or may get stuck a in traffic jam" for such a popular platform as the Nook fails to reach its (probably realistic at $160,000) target?
