Game News "What can change the nature of a game?" - Torment: Tides of Numenera Kickstarter is LIVE

troll on a board other than rpgcodex? you sir are a heretic

 

What the fuck, fastest growing kickstarter ever?

 

Heh, so does this mean Torment is the most popular IE game?

 

Now MCA will have to withdraw His blessing, or T:ToN will break Obsidian's record.

 

Who would've thought, I've always regarded Baldur's Gate as the most known IE game.

EDIT: Ninja'ed

 

Well damn, I do wonder if the Numenera core book is worth going for the 250$ pledge...

 

I don't know how much you're already pledging, but you can pre-order the Numenera core book for $70 from the official site.

I wonder how well the Numenera rules (however they work) and world would translate into a boardgame; my friends aren't too keen on PnP anymore, but engaging boardgames still go well.

 

Yes, but in order to get a signed one, you need to go for the $500 tier (or be already a Numenera contributor).

 

I'm at the 110$ already, so it's 140$ for the book, the novellas, the player guide and alpha & beta access.
Damn

 

Updated my bank balance. (lower)

I was actually fairly lukewarm on this until the pitch. Clearly a lot of work went into it... and it shows.

Might be time to make it rain - I could see this setting allowing for some pretty far-out npcs. It would be fun to write up some possibilities.

 

I am hate.



This time around, I won't contribute to RPGGaydex fund-raiser, though...

 

$250 from me. I might convince myself to go for $500, especially if they decide to do phased combat instead of RTwP. (I have lots of zero interest credit right now...)

 

Should I enslave myself to pitch the project and bring incline to the galaxy at the cost of this fragile tsundere body?
Or should I close my rotten heart and face eternal damnation with the premise to live another day?
Such a depressing dilemma.
The value of dollars is still too expensive for the people of my poor country.
At least I can still enjoy my hard earned W2.
Oh well.

 

Brother None said they aren't deciding on the combat system until the kickstarter is over.

 

Perfect trolling.

 

Hey, guys, what's going o--HOLY FUCKING SHIT

This thing shot up from $577 K when my Internet decided to cut out, and now it's EIGHT HUNDRED FUCKING THOUSAND DOLLARS. In an hour and a half.

Christ.


I'm going to set aside the snarkiness, jokery, and general assedness with which I usually conduct online affairs and, in a moment of rare and non-ironic sincerity, say:

Thank you. Seriously. I'm humbled and just mildly terrified.

Seriously, we couldn't have gotten this far without your input and support.



Now I'm back to being a jerk.


(thank you)

 

You're welcome - and no pressure, it's only the perfect cRPG we're waiting you to deliver.



(And... congrats for a succesful campaign - I think it's safe to say now.)

 

Yes yes, sit back and relax, good Sir.

After all, in the odd eventuality that the game should not satisfy our meagre expectations...

We'll just merely extinguish each and every you and yours, so that not a trace of your existence remains on this Earth.

 

Now, in the coming months, prepare yourself for a bit of codex love

you will be found guilty untill proven otherwise


But the fanbase did good. I wasn't expecting the goal being reached today.

I think the sun will be a bit brighter tomorow

 

Yeah, four hours in front of a camera, repeating the same lines again and again, pretending that I was only talking to the people in the studio, trying not to have stupid facial expressions... piece of cake, man. Piece of cake.

(also, thank you. )
