For those looking for 'more Quest for Glory', not only do we have the mentioned Hero-U, but there is Infamous Quests' 'Quest for Infamy', also with their own funded Kickstarter.

Hey.  I know that guy.

It's insane!  I'm in for one of the all-digitial tiers, but having never played the first Torment game I just have to know why it funded so quickly.  Good thing I picked it up cheap on GoG during a sale.   

The game mechanics are nothing spectacular, although they are very easy to work with- the same as Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale.  But the story is fantastic, and is overall one of my all-time favorites.

It starts off with you waking up from having been dead, and gets better from there, including the now-infamous question "What can change the nature of a man".  The characters you meet along the way are also among my most favorite of any I've met while traveling in the Otherworlds.

I hate to say it, but I just viewed their kickstarter video and their game seems quite boring.
The one thing that differentiates QFI from Mage's Initiation is humor and originality. The raunchy style of Infamy is far more entertaining than a predictable, vanilla G-rated generic fantasy game.

Just my opinion.

Even if it didn't look like I would like the game itself at all, I would still plunk down my pesos because I think they are a fantastic team, and do incredible work (same reasons I did for IQ), and I want to see them continue.  This one may not be my thing (which, it totally is, by the way but as an example), but as long as they're around, the next one might.

Besides.  Cloth map?  How does one say no to a cloth map?

My favorite parts are always experiencing the story, then going back through it a second time and making maps.
