So, yeah, was looking for a generic Kickstarter thread, but only found a new thread was made per project. Hence me making also a seperate thread, hope it's okay. It's not even my game, but it does pique my interest.

Game in question;
http://www.kickstart...ns-conquistador

So why does it interest me (and would probably do many obsidianites)?
* RPG. Always good
* Tactical combat. I personally prefer that over a button mashing of a Witcher II. Resembles Jagged Alliance or a hex-based turn-based Baldur's Gate. Several movies are on that site to show off how the combat works to see for yourself if it's something you like.
* Stories, choice, consequence. Always good to have in a RPG.
* Randomness makes each playthrough slightly different. More replayability in my RPG? Sign me up.
* Several of the people of Off Topic Production (The Nameless Mod) work on it. Fortunately, this wont take 7 years. But it assures me that I most likely get quality.
After all TNM was the one of 2 games I actually found good enough to make a fixmod for (the other being TSLRCM obviously).

So yeah, I would suggest everyone to check it out and see if it's "their thing". It seems the goal hasn't been reached yet in the slightest, so every little bit helps. Hence this thread. In the hope to get a decent RPG again after being dissapointed so many times by the AAA developers these times.

Already backed. Hope it delivers. The premise seems interesting.

The graphics and gameplay remind me of Age of Decadence. I might back this. How are they handling the actual exploration? I imagine they aren't going to lock you on a hex grid the whole time when you aren't in combat.

I was, well, am thinking of backing it, but there's an element of trust that is lacking with this team in particular, so I'll have to think carefully about it. I *do* hope it succeeds though, because the project is interesting.

Once upon a time when Electronic Arts made/published awesome games, there was this little gem called "Seven Cities of Gold". I always wondered why the Americas has been so underused as a setting. Looks more like a CRPG than an exploration game though. Still 25 days to go and follow it a bit closer.

I loved Seven Cities of Gold. Good Times. Really basic by today's standards, though, but great times!
