Maybe they are looking to kickstart an MMO with no publisher involvement, so that Obsidian gets to keep all those sweet monthly fees/microtransaction payments?

They're not going to Kickstart an MMO. 
Am I the only one who is starting to get really excited about all these recent Kickstarter updates. W2, P:E and D:OS...We are truly living in extraordinary times!

I don't necessarily disagree, but I also don't share your certainty that Kickstarting an MMO is somehow worthy of an
. There is nothing about developing an MMO that puts it outside the realm of a Kickstarter, imo.imweasel

Problem is, Wasteland has the whole "Western" vibe covered as well, so that's probably not a good choice.

True, but I think spiritual successor to Arcanum is pretty good possibility.

They should kickstart an MMO and then have a vote on TB vs. RTwP combat. It would be glorious.
They should team up with Nicholas Games and finally deliver the Afterfall RPG

Although it's probably Star Wars.

Isn't Star Wars in EA's hands now?
Although they did allow Fargo to use the Wasteland license, so I dunno, maybe.

I'm pretty sure it won't be a licensed franchise.
The license for Star Wars probably costs more than the entire budget for PE.
My bet is that they will KS an old-school RPG that's not really old-school, but a dungeon-crawler that is definitely not a dungeon crawler called.... FIREDEATH!
I'd be all over this.
Seriously!

I'm kinda hoping they'll go for something a bit different this time around. I'd actually pay good if they made a noir style scifi adventure that plays a lot like B.A.T. 2 and other similiar old school adventures (like Dreamweb and it Came From the Desert) with highly beefed up reactivity (c&c, story branching), interactivity and RPG mechanics that focus more on interactions with the world and less on combat (combat could well be akin to Wasteland with some simple visual cues, I wouldn't mind). Storyfaggotry, in some ways, but with great adventureRPG feel.

Megadungeon sounds great, fingers crossed the new kickstarter is the Time Travel RPG. I fucking love time travel.

Not Backspace. That was Jason Fader's baby. Other team members have also moved on, so I'm thinking chances are very low.
Also the MMO thing is Skyforge. (the already announced russian mmo)
And the next-gen thing is an unannounced publisher project on Cryengine3. Signed last december.

I'll pledge if I can get a t-shirt made that says, "I'm only here for the Megadungeon".
