What KICKSTARTER(S) are you BACKING and WHY?

I'm almost tempted to back that new Ace Detective game from Launius. It looks like a noir/pulp detective combination of Once Upon a Time and Android. I love that artwork from Black Mask magazine, and the mechanics look decent.

The art is great for that, Shellhead. I think I might back it too.

Yep me too. I've been looking at it since the ad showed up on the Fort. I have Once Upon a Time and Android and Tales. I'm always up for a new take on the storytelling genre.
I like the artwork and the period too. When LA Noire (videogame) came out, I bought it. Unfortunately as a game it kind of sucked.

I'm currently backing two PC RPGs:
Dead State, which I've been watching develop for quite awhile now:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/70755535/de...-zombie-survival-rpg
...and Cult: Awakening of the Old Ones, a completely insane design by one guy.
www.kickstarter.com/projects/dhagar/cult...ning-of-the-old-ones
Oh, and also, Haunts:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/2066438441/...ts-the-manse-macabre
...which looks like a fun little tactical RPG for the iPad.

I love Android, but I strongly question whether the decision to mimic Android's most revilved game mechanic - that of 'framing' suspects by placing clues on them - is a wise move. It's that mechanic along that's responsible for Android languishing in bargain bins to this very day.
I really, really hope that someone revisits the Android design at some point, but (from what little info I gathered), Ace Detective seems to be the worst design decisions of Android minus a lot of the backstory and plot plus a lot of drawing and rolling ala Arkham Horror. Despite the brilliant artwork and theme, I'll pass.
