Dead State, which I've been watching develop for quite awhile now:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/70755535/de...-zombie-survival-rpg
...and Cult: Awakening of the Old Ones, a completely insane design by one guy.

Oh, and also, Haunts:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/2066438441/...ts-the-manse-macabre
...which looks like a fun little tactical RPG for the iPad.

I love Android, but I strongly question whether the decision to mimic Android's most revilved game mechanic - that of 'framing' suspects by placing clues on them - is a wise move. It's that mechanic along that's responsible for Android languishing in bargain bins to this very day.
I really, really hope that someone revisits the Android design at some point, but (from what little info I gathered), Ace Detective seems to be the worst design decisions of Android minus a lot of the backstory and plot plus a lot of drawing and rolling ala Arkham Horror. Despite the brilliant artwork and theme, I'll pass.

Backed Dungeon World (Fantasy hack of Apocalypse World RPG). Thinking about backing Crystal Catacombs (video game) and Trial of the Clone (choose your own adventure book by the SMBC guy).

I'm backing Pixel Lincoln, because it looks so Nintendo (8 bit, not 16 bit, SuperSquirrel), and I'm considering getting the expansions for Flash Point. They look good, but I haven't played that in a while, so maybe it would be a fool's errand.
I just dropped 150$ on Strange Aeons stuff...I'll let that shit empty out first.

Just wanted to post a reminder:
Hoplomachus has less than a day to go. And it's close to it's next stretch goal.

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I'm on the fence because it's the "double our goal stretch goal" that interests me the most. I found a boxed version of the Rotary set in perfect shape languishing on the shelf in Cleveland a few years ago, so my copy is damn near new. My "Powerhouse Series" set, though, is battered. That's the set I'd really like to get a new version of...
