Reinmar: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/storybricks/storybricks-the-mmorpg-storytelling-toolset

This is shaping up to be cool. It's a bit hard to explain, but essentially it's a toolset for creating...adventures... stories? in a game world provided by the developers. It has an eclectic mix of people supporting it, like Chris Avellone, Don Bluth or Steve Meretzky.
There are some familiar names in the team like Brian Green. Good stuff. I may back this one.

Also, Legends of Eisenwald now has a boxed copy. $75, includes shipping!

Cleaned up the list and added: Storybricks, An Article of Hope, Kinetic Void, The Antler Boy, Plugable Thin Client, Battle Chess, Uktena. I'm only adding Uktena because it's going to be freeware and the developer sounds like the kind of guy who deserves to get a little more money, though the game at this point looks terrible.
This is weird. Kenshi is or was being Alpha funded on Desura *i think* ???

Oh yeah forgot to add Kenshi.

nijuu: This is weird. Kenshi is or was being Alpha funded on Desura *i think* ???
Yeah, and as the dev says, he can work alone full time on this game thanks to the current sales, but he can't run a team.

I'm already alphafunding Kenshi, and I would make a pledge too (even though cash starts to be low level) as well as Rimelands, but for what I can see, Indiegogo is not a good choice.

Both games would easily reach their levels at kickstarter, so this is a real shame.
Problem is, Kickstarter is US only. There've been some non-US projects there, but they need a US address and someone in the US, far as I remember.
Just read about this one. Eh, too many interesting projects!

Well it's more of an international version of Kickstarter but there are other differences like you can try to get funding for pretty much anything in indiegogo. There's also the Fixed (same as kickstarter) and flexible (project gets funds even if goal is not reached) funding models. I don't really like the idea of the later especially as indiegogo takes 9% cut if project does not reach it's goal.

hedwards: I'm not sure if anybody has mentioned it, but Ogre looks pretty cool. I don't have money to back it, but perhaps some people are interested.

It looks really cool and BTW, it's listed in the first post at the bottom of tabletop games.

Yeah, I saw it linked on Penny Arcade today and just took a look, I can't believe I almost missed it...

Anyway, this is one of my favorite games, I still have my copies from years ago (though not quite as old as that first edition one in the video). I almost feel bad, the amount of shit they'll be shipping due to my pledge is going to cost them a small fortune...

It looks like a cool game, but I'm getting enough stuff off KS, even if Dark Meridian and Spate don't get funded, I've still got a ton of loot coming from KS pledges. I'm really excited to see the new content that LSL is going to get as we do now get a new female character and it looks like the people are demanding more story and more scenes as priorities.

I think the only thing of substance I get right away is the Carbon Grey book. I'm not sad about that, I think my KS backings will get some cool stuff and this type of funding for creative stuff by normal folks is something I've wanted to see for a long time (because I deeply believed it was possible).

With that said, it would take a rather extraordinary project at this point to get me to back something else for a few months...
