This game seems to be very popular on Kickstarter. It looks well-designed, though the video was pretty terrible quality. They have a Kickstarter bonus and a stretch reward at $30k. There are 50 days remaining and the project is almost 100% funded.

It was originally designed to be played with an enormous Encounter Book with lots of reading. They've simplified it down to an Encounter Deck of cards, which is still a lot of reading. (The Encounter Book is available for those who want it for an additional $20.)
I'm not personally getting involved in this one, but maybe some of you guys enjoy this type of game.
