For anyone who hasn't heard of these...
Tom Hall of course made Commander Keen and Anachronox, among others. He's working on this game with Brenda Brathwaite, who was a designer on Wizardry 8 and some other classic RPGs. It's going to be a first-person RPG with turn-based combat. It's at ~$180,000 now, so it's got a ways to go before it gets funded. It better be, Tom Hall should be making real games again! Commander Keen's one of my favorite games ever, of course... and while I'd rather see him make a platformer, honestly, an RPG from the designers of Wizardry 8 and Anachronox? Yes, I will be getting this. The only question is, which tier... it's hard to decide.

Obsidian needs no introduction, I think... Chris Avellone's studio, and makers of many RPGs now. This one will be more traditional than any of the ones they've made since founding Obsidian, even more so than NWN2 I expect. It's going to be isometric viewed and with pausable real-time combat, like that game or Torment/Icewind Dale. It's already got several million dollars, so the question here is just if you want it... but if it's anywhere near as good as it should be, it'll certainly be worth getting!
