Perhaps yea, though I guess they needed more money than the original goal to fit in all that extra work. Which they easily got anyways so whatever, WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE!

I do doubt it'll beat the highest funded video game project since a console has a much more wider audience

Still I think with this momentum it'll overtake Project Eternity

I think it'll overtake Eternity. It's already collected more in its first two days than Eternity did in its first two days.
Amusingly, Kicktraq has Torment trending towards $29 million. Of course, that only uses the current data, as we all know the pledges will start to drop off a bit.

Well if it makes $10.3mil then it will be the most succesful kickstarter project

Yeah, and without any optional add-ons for the 40,000+ backers to blow extra money on, I doubt we'll see any more massive increases, but just a steady flow of new pledges day by day.
Perhaps they should get together with GOG.com and offer the original Planescape: Torment at a reduced price as an option. Maybe custom dice sets, coins, and other trinkets.

Also a great idea; was planning on going on GOG.com to buy Planescape Torment anyway, getting it NOW for free/even cheaper would be pretty boss.

Agreed! "Play this while you wait!" an add one for the Numera rule book, or perhaps a "no rule book required" campaign in the setting would be pretty cool too.

Trucking along nicely here. I wouldn't say any of the $4mill+ goals are out of reach here.

They said they are going to count Paypal donation made until the end of April towards the last strech goal.

So there is still chance the stronghold would be reached.

Through April 5th, our donations via PayPal came to $160,495, yielding a total of almost $4.35M (and just over 77K backers) through the end of Friday! As we mentioned over the weekend, we will include all donations through PayPal through April 30th in determining whether the $4.5M Stretch Goal was met.

An additional $19,575 was donated since the Kickstarter ended, and we are currently at $4,368,997 as of the end of Sunday. Through the end of the month, we’ll be posting new totals on tumblr on Mondays and Thursdays, so please follow us there if you are interested in tracking our progress toward $4.5M. New pledges, pledge upgrades, and add-ons will all count toward whether or not this Stretch Goal is met.

No, they aren't. They said the stretch goals for Kickstarter were set with those money already accounted for.

(btw. only 100k is from Brian Fargo, the another 100k is from Steven Dengler, fan of PST).
