If The Bard’s Tale IV reaches its Kickstarter stretch goal of $1.9 million, industry veteran Chris Avellone (Planescape: Torment and Fallout: New Vegas) will join the team and design an all-new area called the Cairn of Horrors.
And at just $1.7, Colin McComb (Planescape: Torment, Torment: Tides of Numenera) will join the team and design a new Realm of the Elves area.
Chris Avellone: “I owe my career to seeing Bard’s Tale II on a Commodore 64 at a friend’s house. When I saw the streets of Skara Brae up and running (gasp – in simulated 3D! And in color!), I suddenly realized I didn’t have to be the game master all the time in order to get my RPG fix, there was finally someone out there who had done the formidable job of creating a digital dungeon master for RPG aficionados with the same amount of lazy players as I had. So I have Brian Fargo to thank three times – first for the game itself (and all the Interplay RPGs I played to follow, including Bard’s Tale 1, Bard’s Tale 3, and Wasteland), second, for hiring me at Interplay, and third, for asking me to be a part of Bard’s Tale 4 – with your support, I hope we can make it happen!”
Brian Fargo, CEO of inXile: “I’m pleased that both Chris and Colin may come aboard Bard’s Tale 4 for extra design. We are in the final weeks of the campaign and have assembled an all-star cast of writing, design, art and music. Now it’s a matter of how many more people join our campaign to build these glorious RPGs.”
