Torment: Tides of Numenera kickstarter started yesterday, funded in 6 hours, now $2m

[A Black Falcon]

They've said that like PS:T you will have a precreated character background, but yeah, you will be able to choose gender this time. Apart from that though, I'd expect few options, except maybe for class or skills or something. The idea is that you are playing as this character, whose background you can read about in the Kickstarter.

Also, 2.5 million reached! George Zeits is on the project now, among other stuff. Colin McComb's 2nd Edition AD&D Official Book of Elves "apology" video was also entertaining stuff... :)
