Why don't I just put my bank details on the net and let them take it all? 

Legendary, award-winning RPG designers and game industry veterans Brenda Brathwaite and Tom Hall are teaming up to create a classic, old-school RPG reminiscent of the true masterworks in the genre!

Brathwaite got her start on the classic Wizardry® series of role-playing games, having worked on every award-winning game in the series, before moving on to work on Dungeons & Dragons®, while Tom Hall's visionary design on Commander Keen™, Anachronox™ and DOOM™ set the standard for character development, world design and over-the-top immersion. We want to get back to our roots and create an old-school game worthy of 30 years of RPG fan devotion. 

Gather your bearings and belongings, leave town, and embark on a journey in a world that seems at once welcoming and friendly... until you meet its dark side!

THE CHARACTERS

• Characters: Create a group of up to 4 characters, choosing from multiple races and professions.
• Skills: Balance your characters' strengths, weaknesses and skills, knowing each of them affects play.
• Progression: Gain experience and gain levels to hone your characters to your exact liking.
• Recruitable Characters: Hire NPCs to work with you, if you trust them, or allow them to hire you to be their guide.
• Character Extensions (Stretch Goal): Wrestle with the old-school favorites from back in the paper days - alignment, age, rank and randomly-rolled temperament.

THE WORLD

• Exploration: Explore a richly detailed world, home to unique, dangerous and sometimes crafty creatures who may be friend or foe.
• Treasure: Loot castles, caverns and dungeons and defeat hordes of creatures in a world where your skill and cunning are key.

• NPCs: At least five known NPC races call this world home. Forge alliances with them and do their bidding - or be their undoing.
• Quests: Solve hundreds of quests on your way to discovering and uncovering the secrets of the world.
• Multiple Endings: The smallest of intentions sometimes matters far more than you know. It is a world alive with memories. 
• Multiple Beginnings (Stretch Goal): The endings in one game affect the beginnings in another. Import your characters from one world to another.
• Combat: Turn-based combat harkens back to the days when spells and swords hit hard and last-second healing spells saved the day.
• NPC Enemies (Stretch Goal): What once was a relatively peaceful world becomes much more dangerous not only for you, but for those who live there. New NPCs come complete with an expanded game area and quests.

... AND MORE

• Super Hardcore Mode (Stretch Goal) : Challenge yourself with Permadeath mode, no-save option and some optional but barely beatable bosses with the loot to prove their worth.
• Pen & Paper RPG ($60 Reward Tier): Gather around a table and enjoy playing Old School RPG the seriously, really old school way.
• Two Games, One Kickstarter ($1.9M Stretch Goal): Brenda and Tom make different, separate RPGs with unique worlds, quests and characters.

It's exactly the type of RPG we love to make and to play! We’ll put into the game all the passion we summoned for the award-winning RPGs we've worked on, and take you along for the ride. Even the mere mention of “old-school RPG” fills you with ideas, and we can’t wait to hear them!

• You gain exclusive access to our forums where Tom and Brenda will chronicle every phase of the game’s development and invite your feedback into the game’s design.
• You vote on design decisions when the team needs your input.
• You receive regular video updates.
• ... and all the Kickstarter rewards to boot!

All our stretch goals add up to an epic kick-axe game experience, but none more so than the $1.9M mark. If you're kind enough to help us reach this amount of funding, we'll create TWO FULL games - one designed by Brenda Brathwaite and one designed by Tom Hall. Not only will you cast, smash and slash your way through two full games, the endings of each game provide exclusive NEW game beginnings in the other! Import your crew from Tom's game into Brenda's and vice versa. The ending you create affects not only your new game beginning (if you choose it), but also provides unique advantages that you earn no other way.

In addition to two full RPGs, at the $60 level, you will also enjoy the Seriously, Really Old School pen & paper version of Old School RPG! Two d10s, a table and some friends, and you're ready to go!

That's very cool for the fans of the genre. Eternity project and now this. The end of the video with Notch was funny as hell.

But... (looks at various indy games) the old school RPG never went away...

2 D10's eh. So it's a percentile based game.

are you trying to say that this will never get made?

Also I think I would have prefered a new Commander Keen game lol
