Their initial goal is $450,000, but they have not posted stretch goals at this time. They also offer a release window, saying the game will come to Windows, OS X, and Linux next year. Here's an announcement accompanying the launch of the campaign:

The glory days of "Gold Box" fantasy role-playing games are about to make a huge comeback, as Tactical Simulations Interactive (TSI) has today announced a release date for "Seven Dragon Saga" for PC, Mac and Linux. The TSI team is comprised of veteran developers and alumni from Strategic Simulations Interactive (SSI) who worked on fantasy RPG classics including "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Pool of Radiance", "AD&D Curse of the Azure Bonds" and "Wizards Crown."

Seven Dragon Saga is a classically styled RPG based upon an original pen and paper role-playing system designed by Strategic Simulations Interactive (SSI) alumni Keith Brors and David Shelley.

Self-funded for most of its development, Seven Dragon Saga has launched on Kickstarter today to fund the final round of production. The Kickstarter can be found here.
