Greetings gang!

I've noticed a good bit of Kickstarter support and chatter here and was wondering if you guys could help me out. See I've been interviewing lots of different Kickstarter projects for my blog (which I'll post a link to if asked) to get the word out about "lesser known" projects.

I was wondering if you guys had any you'd like me to interview? Ones especially that are remakes or continuations of some classic GOGs. Thanks in advance!
I have a hard time imagining remakes of classic GOGs falling under 'lesser known' projects to be honest.
Sure I'd like to have a look at your blog.

As for projects that I'd like to have interviewed, what about the Ars Magica guys? They really deserve more attention. Very disappointed that they're only at 25% of their goal.

Spud's Quest also looks good.

Last but not least, Solenttar, if only for the very sexy toolset.

And yet, no link for us lazy people! :)
Do already finished KS count?
And Do they need to be gaming KS or can they be gaming related?

Because I really, really, really liked this one

phr00t seems like a guy whom it would be good to interview, he just finished 3089 kickstarter -

he also tried to do a kickstarter on 3079 (I think, don't remember on which site), but it failed. Could make it interesting to ask about each.

Chris Hunt is another developer (LoFi Games) who may be a good subject. He tried to get some funding for Kenshi on IndeiGoGo, and it did not succeed

and personally I like CodeHatch, developers of StarForge, also seems like decent guys to interview.

You can try to interview Dodo Games about Divine Space. It's going to fail soon, but they had interesting things to say on Update 12 about the world, and what they want to achieve. It's for backers only, so just pledge $1 to be able to read it. By the way their English isn't perfect, so it would be good for someone to post on their behalf and edit out the more glaring mistakes.

I second S&C.

How about Bare Mettle Entertainment's Sui Generis? I suggest them for two reasons: one, because it looks like they're going to need all the exposure they can get, and two, because from an interview perspective they could be quite interesting, since they're handling their kickstarter much differently than most other indie RPGs. They've announced a lot of "niche" features that are unlikely to appeal to a wider audience (no save/reload, a world they intend for you to get lost in, no loot-farming, etc), but are sticking to their guns in the face of heavy criticism, and are refusing to use "stretch goals" to dictate what goes into the game. They're also being quite tight-lipped about setting details, and have said that they don't care if this costs them pledges. Could make for a neat conversation.
I'd like a link, please. I lik checking out other people's blogs.

In my defense, I back DRM-free/Linux projects for the principle so I am somewhat avoiding Kickstarter..

Also, the magic system is very similar to the one a friend is using as the default system on her roleplay forum. Hers is a little more flexible though from what I understand (admittedly not much about Ars Magica-side).

Well here's the link and thanks for be interested.

Yes finished Kickstarters count because I like to ask them about what went right, what went wrong, and try and SHARE that info. I think we've all seen great projects die on the vine for doing the same stupid mistakes that others have done that are easily avoided. (Like no updates! ARGH!)

All these projects are now in my Que. Thanks for the suggestions gang! :)
