inXile Entertainment knows how to crowdfund, and to that end, they announce a new stretch goal for their Kickstarter for The Bard's Tale IV, saying Chris Avellone will design an area for the game if it passes the $1.9 million funding mark. They also dangle the promise of an area designed by Colin McComb at the $1.7 million mark, giving Chris permanent bragging rights. The game is already funded, right now standing at about $1.35 million in community pledges. Here's word:

inXile Entertainment is excited to announce industry veteran Chris Avellone (Planescape: Torment, Fallout: New Vegas) is set to join The Bard’s Tale IV team as a writer and designer if the ongoing Kickstarter reaches $1.9 million, designing an entirely new area called the Cairn of Horrors. This all new dungeon will contain the worst things that live in the imagination of Chris Avellone.

But inXile is putting more of the Planescape: Torment design team back together, as Colin McComb (Planescape: Torment, Torment: Tides of Numenera) will also be joining the team at $1.7 million, designing a new Realm of the Elves area.

Chris Avellone has worked with inXile before on both of their Kickstarted titles, Wasteland 2 and Torment: Tides of Numenera. Wasteland 2 was released to critical and popular acclaim last year.
