MASSIVE CHALICE is a single player turn-based tactics game within a multi-generational strategy campaign built for replayability.
As an immortal King or Queen, you must unite your kingdom under a powerful dynasty, eliminate the demonic threat, and reforge the MASSIVE CHALICE!
The game is structured into two main layers: strategy and tactics. In the strategy layer, you oversee your kingdom, arrange royal marriages, conduct research, and make the far-reaching decisions that will determine the fate of your legacy.
In the tactics layer, you fight brutal turn-based battles to defend your kingdom using small squads of customizable heroes.
Permadeath is inevitable: your heroes will grow, age, and eventually die. You'll have to choose between keeping your favorite heroes on the battlefield or retiring them from combat to foster a new generation of warriors.
Drawing from roguelikes we love, content is modular and randomized. Each playthrough begins with a random assortment of male and female heroes from various bloodlines, guaranteeing that each game is unique. Your knowledge and skill will increase over multiple playthroughs, but the details of every game will change based on your decisions and the whims of fate.
....sounds pretty interesting. Yet another Kickstarter I may have to get in on...but some game footage would be nice. At the rate their kickstarter is going (already at 30% in just a couple days), I don't think they will have any trouble hitting the goal...and then some.
Sounds cool.
Like Crusader Kings 2 and X-Com style tactical battles mixed together..
Does it also have MASSIVE GOBLETS?! MUGS?!
Perhaps a massive armored codpiece as well.

One with lightening bolts cast in pure electrum pointing to the 'fun zone' perhaps?
We'll need more electrum. This armored codpiece is massive, remember.
Did someone say, "Massive Jugs"? I'm in.

Gus, you're overcompensating again.
There's nothing worse than not having enough electrum.
Electrum?!
Damn near impeached um!
^No you're thinking of the other guy.
