Who's the fourth developer on the right? Fargo didn't tweet it.
Shanna Germain - she works with Monte Cook on the Numenera RPG

I sent you a PM and I hope you managed to get my previous place at the $20 tier ^_^
edit: seems I'm not the only $20 tier person that upgraded at the last minute, two more spots just opened up
edit 2: and those spots were quickly filled
A spiritual successor to your favorite game of all-time doesn't come along every day, after all, let alone one with such an absurdly talented team surrounding it and no publisher interference. I'll happily open my wallet up for that. :>
I kinda want to get in for the Numenera player guide, but I can't rationalize that if I don't know if I'll ever even play it with other people, it's been years since I played a P&P RPG and that was only via online. But that can be bought separately easily if that comes, so whatever.

I really hope with paypal donations it was at $4.25 million
edit: oh just noticed on the stretch goals that they already marked that as achieved
yay for more storyThis is just the beginning.
Yeah, I know that feeling (managed to stretch it to $152). It's really, really amazing. Possibly the best event this generation.

What a ride this has been! When I step back and think about it, I still can barely believe we're getting a full on, feature packed bona fide Torment game with all this talent involved. It's gonna be a long couple of years.
Well over $4.25 million.
Easily, the last number we had was 125k. I hope the Paypal gets it closer to 4,5M and they decide to include the 4.5M tier nonetheless
Why? I dont think it would detract from the game. Its just a player hub with your guys hanging around and some extra quests.a
Now that this is over go help fund Divinity: Original Sin, inspired by Ultima VII.

Yeah in 480p+ i can almost see everything. Probably Brian's wife. Being wealthy must be nice.

ain't nobody got time to wait for ks to update, yo
Oh that undoubtedly happens a lot - that and pledges which aren't fulfilled in general due to faulty CC info or empty balances or whatnot, and nobody will know the ramifications of that for another week or so since I think Kickstarter gives people that much time to get the money through.
What do you think of crafting in a Torment game?

Maybe they will add it later. They could say something like "we were $200k short of the stronghold at the kickstarter, so if we sell $200k worth after the game comes out it will be added as a free update". Here's to hoping.

$397,805, almost 400K for last day pledges.
Then there are the PayPal donations brought in today as well. They mentioned that one backer from Singapore donated $10k to PayPal, so there was more than $10K in PayPal donations today.

$4,188,927+$127,505 (paypal, that was 5 hours)= $4,316,432
If they were to count that 200k, we'd hit the 4.5 million tier - perhaps they'll change their mind?

I'm feeling ok at my final $110 pledge. i went back and forth so many times to the 275 one. All off the extra stuff would of been nice, but i really just was interested in the Corebook and printed player guide, but i couldn't justify 100+ more for it.

I'd prefer that over useless ass crafting, but honestly, I'm glad we hit 4.25 just for the codex. Can't wait to hear "Updated the codex" repeatedly.
Even more useless than a Stronghold, unless I'm crafting words. Then that's a different matter!

mh they'll probably introduce preorders just like WL2 and maybe maybe they'll use the money they raise from this to make the stronghold come true after all?
I guess the party's basically over now?
look at YSG with all his friends now. some faith in humanity has been restored today. actually a lot.
