Monty Python's Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme, the offical licensed Monty Python roleplaying game, just went live on Kickstarter!
It's $25 for the PDF, or $65 for the hardcover ($95 for the special edition). You can also pick up a whole bunch of accessories -- dice, tokens, a screen, even a dice catapult!
The game is a rules-lite system (with spam!) and, while set in mediaeval England, draws on Monty Python's entire catalogue.
You can choose to play a Cleric, Enchanter, Hermit, Knight, Monarch, Monk/Nun, Ne’erdowell, Noble, Peasant, or Troubadour. You'll also have up to five Traits like Valour, Wisdom in the Ways of Science, and so on.
The dice appear to include d18s, d16s, and d14s. There's also a d30!
The Kickstarter has a high funding goal of $200k, which is made in the first hour. Currently it is racking up a thousand dollars every few seconds — chances are this might be a new million dollar campaign, after a lull in them these past few months.

I mentioned this Kickstarter to them and made some Flying Circus references. Then I caught myself and wondered if they even got the jokes, because I wasn't sure if folks in that age group even knew about Monty Python. I quite often show my age by making reference to popular culture from the 80s that goes over their heads.
