As predicted from the Great Old Discord Ones: Riddles of Areshkagal is next!
This one is the stretch goal I look forward the most! Heck, if need be I'd pledge my toon's soul to the demon lord Areshkagal to make this a reality.

Sounds like the Spellhold dungeon in BG2.
If you guys are trepid about backing the project, you can always wait for full release. The game is being made and unless the next stretch goal really interests you I think there is nothing wrong with doing so.
It’s not like you miss out on playing the game if you wait.
Ok I backed it. I hope I will not regret it. I really want it to be fun and memorable (unlike PoE1/DoS1 - not fun/not memorable or PoE2/DoS2 - fun bot not memorable).

I don't think it will hit this stretch goal within 37 hours, but since there is a slacker backer option, I wouldn't worry about it. Yeah, if it would be something akin to Ravel's maze, that would be awesome.
They also posted a music video from one of the composers for the song Ode to Armored Armadillo. https://youtu.be/ugYTJNSzseU
If the rest of the music is up to this quality, it's going to be fantastic.
Man, Dryante is just killing it. He had amazing covers for other games' tunes (another argument that people in game development support and admire each other).
Lilarcor comes to Golarion?! We're doomed I tell ya. DOOMED!!!
There better be a pacifist weapon. Hmm, maybe a war hammer.
Everytime you hit something it screams “owww!”
“I think I got a concussion”
“maybe, use less force next time...”
“oh good a mustard jelly, this won’t hurt”
“I use to be a cleric, want me to heal the next thing you hit with me? I can do that!”
$52k still to go until dinosaurs making it in. Gonna say, we won't make that kind of sum within the remaining 37 minutes. But there are always slacker backers to the rescue! ?
I caved and backed it too despite my distrust of kickstarting (first time here as well). I guess they already proved they can deliver a game once, so I don't have to be too suspicious.
Let's just hope they haven't oversold the game. They've promised an awful lot.
An awful lot it is: 20 met stretch goals, 8 met social goals. And even the not reached last stretch goal will be ours in no time thanks to slacker pledges.
In other news: Wrath of the Righteous has beat D:OSII in overall kickstarter fundings.
I guess, judging by all those stretch goals, my main concern (apart of the overall story and writing quality) is if the game doesn't turn to a strategy game more than rpg. Tactical battles (ala HOMM3), global effect spells and I guess also kingdom management could easily tip the balance too much to the sim part of the game, which I'm not sure I would be pleased about. I admit I did not progres that far in Kingmaker to see how kingdom management is handled there, but I fear it might be the least interesting part of the game for me. Don't get me wrong, I was practically raised on HOMM3, but I would like an rpg game to actually stay rpg, not turn into a mix of two genres.
@Dev6 Slacker backers are basically those who either pre-order the game via paypal on Owlcats own site. Or pledge for one of the coming slacker tiers. The pledge amount gathered from them will then help to unlock the last stretch goal (dinosaurs and the Hunter class).

I asked this exact question in the KS forum and a dev assured me: "[by skipping the optional tactical combat part] you will miss nothing important."
I an not brigning this data to create another "game A vs game B" discussion, only to show how successful the new campaign was. Even those who doesn't like dos2 can't denny the success of the game and i wish success for Wrath of the Righteous

May or may not broke countless hearts. Especially since it doesn't align perfectly.
But at least the dollar amount seems to be spot on.
Take two.
@deltago I was more thinking about Ravel Puzzlewell's Maze: a moderately sized demiplane.
I don't think it will hit this stretch goal within 37 hours, but since there is a slacker backer option, I wouldn't worry about it. Yeah, if it would be something akin to Ravel's maze, that would be awesome.
Got myself a sphinx demon lord to pet!
Next up is Magic on the Crusade! We well enough got this within the last 11 hours! Probably the hidden one too if things go well.
Lets hope that it will reach 2M

I like that thought.

Ya, but that Bard Sword from the show Tigtone was the best take on it I ever saw.

Taking notes Owlcat?
Will raise 25k/hour for the last 4 hours?
I've literally never pledged on KS before. First time for everything.

So how does this "slacker backer" thing work?
