Wow, this game is way more deserving of a fundraiser than Pathfinder: D&D Reheated.
The people making the Pathfinder game are established pros, and I'm sure they will produce a better-than-decent game despite their extremely generic setting and rules, which should not be encouraged.
But this crazy thing deserves a chance to happen. It's good to see someone take a risk and execute on an unusual idea.

Thank you so much for your generous support!
watched the video, the pitch sold me so i pledged.
also agree in these kickstarter time, you pretty much have to spam your social media sites and comments and stuff like you have no shame. what are you doing sounds absolutely insane and i love crazy stuff. the level of creativity in the pitch is trough the atmosphere and the game is oozing great ideas.
would be a shame if this don't get funded due to lack of exposure. i personally don't use popular social media like FB or twitter or whatever, but they really are useful for companions, corporations etc. don't neglect it. this should have been done pre kickstarter campaign, but it's probably not too late too start.

I think it is already too late. The best course of action as of now, would be to cancer the campaign and start a new 2 months from now. Most people who have already pledged are from Codex or are a friends of the creator, so getting them to pledge next time will be relatively easy. Especially that after cancelling the campaign Daniel will still have a mail base of all people who pledged.
Daniel has a LOT to learn about kickstarter campaigns. He pretty much fails at every single step of crowdfunding. Zero marketing, no support from other devs, journalists and the community. I understand his objections about spamming, but the fact that he even did not engage with the backers that much after the launch and makes no updates is a disaster.
Daniel Bill I can write you a step by step guide on how should you run your campaign, want it?
But with a proper preparation the 20k stretch goal is doable. Would say that even 30k could be reached.

Writing a guide is honorable display but don't get too optimistic on the predictions, Radek.

Small kickstarters can get about 20-40 k if they are good.

Greeks are not into science, more like endless debate. Of course the best inventor in history had to step in.

Has anyone noticed that among the hundred or so people who have so far backed this game, now there is Warren Spector, one of the great(est) game developers (ever)? And he hasn't exactly blanketed Kickstarter with his magnanimity, either; he's backed fewer projects than I have. It's pretty cool that this game has the support of the guy who made System Shock, Deus Ex, and a couple of the better Ultimas. Not to mention Epic Mickey.
Now someone just has to convince him to tweet about it.
(EDIT: Oh, I see it's mentioned in the Kickstarter update :-P)

That's actually really awesome, Warren is definitely a legend. By the way, this game looks super-cool, I just backed. *thumbs up*
