At the time of writing this, Monte Cook's Kickstarter project for his new RPG, Numenera, is at $425,000 with 32 hours to go. It would be pretty incredible to see it reach the half million dollar mark.
Over the last month, Monte has been continually adding to stretch goals - additional PDFs, t-shirts, adventures, bestiaries, mobile apps. The "REAL DEAL" pedge level (which is the one I went for myself) includes a hardcover rulebook, three adventures, three supplements, a GM's screen, some fiction, character sheets, and a mobile app.
The project has hit the news recently, too. Check out Geekwire, ICV2, MTVGeek, iO9, and G4TV and Kickstarter itself proclaimed 2012 The Year of the Game. Indeed, Kickstarter itself interviewed Monte a few days ago.
I wrote an article recently on the most-funded RPG Kickstarter projects, and Numenera is rapidly climbing that list. The only things higher are Reaper Miniatures Bones, Order of the Stick Reprint, and OGRE Designer's Edition.
So. Anyway. 32 hours left. Don't miss out - you get so much more by backing this now rather than buying the products afterwards!
As an aside - anyone got any idea what large companies like WotC budget for a hardback core rulebook release?
[UPDATE - this is close! A mere $3K and 2 hours to go!]
[UPDATE - and it's done! Over half a million dollars!]
