Being a long-time fan of the BG and IWD series, and just D&D and RPGs in general, I thought this upcoming game looks really promising:

Honestly, I think it looks really awesome and can't wait to hear more about it. Here's a screenshot:

    Looks like its combat design is turn-based, just like The Temple of Elemental Evil. Well, plus a whole bunch of hexagons.

    Honestly, most turn-based cRPG's tend to bore me. As I'm really not patient enough for combat in large groups battling waves of enemies one after another. Almost makes one wish for a SKIP function to avoid wasting so much needless time.

    That being said, depending of how well they'll develope their game world and of how distinguish it becomes from other cRPG's it could still become interesting for me.

    Edit: kind of reminds me of the old gold box games

    Thought there already was a thread here on this game.

    I'm watching this game too even though I don't like turn-based combat. FYI, this used to be Chaos Chronicles before that got canceled some years ago.

    The environment art looks pretty nice. :) Lot of detailed touches on the tables and shelves. I really like the look. I think it reminds me of some Ultima games.

    Yup. This game is oozing with nostalgia. It makes me feel like classic baldur's gate meets the old school gold box games

    Yeah really looking forward to both this and Black Geyser. So happy to be getting a 3.5 edition D&D rules game even it is set in a homebrew world. Their dev team is very small, though, so they're gonna' need a lot of luck with the project. My understanding is they're hoping to do a Kickstarter this October.

    They're also including supplies for travelling. I've always liked exploration most of all. :)

    In one of their posts, I think they were mentioning starting a crowdfund campaign around October. I'm pretty sure I'll be backing it.

    Oh yeah, I'll be backing this one

    Really need this game to succeed, because it will be our only hope for a D&D cRPG any time within the foreseeable future.
