Here are some that looks very interesting to me and please share more that I might not have heard of yet.
A "first-person post-disaster survival simulation set in the Northern wilderness," where Earth is basically in total blackout, which sounds stupidly cool. It's less about action ("Combat is rare, and highly lethal.") and more about the introspective, contemplative things people endure under duress. Developer Hinterland is looking to bring it to PC/Mac/Linux next October
Explore a beautiful, vast and ruined world riddled with unknown dangers and lost technologies. Inspired by nightmares and dreams alike. Hyper Light Drifter is a 2D Action RPG in the vein of the best 8-bit and 16-bit classics, with modernized mechanics and designs on a much grander scale.
Mighty No. 9 is an all-new Japanese side-scrolling action game that takes the best aspects of the 8- and 16-bit era classics you know and love, and transforms them with modern tech, fresh mechanics, and fan input into something fresh and amazing!
Project Phoenix is a JRPG with a squad based RTS game design, brought to you by veteran developers and creators from the East and West.
Project Awakened is a genre-defying game that lets you answer the question: "Who do you want to be?" For the first time in a modern AAA action game, you will have the opportunity to completely define your dream videogame character, from abilities to aesthetics, all while playing in an action-packed world that responds to your personal playstyle.
Planet Explorers is an open world voxel based sandbox adventure RPG game set on a distant planet. The game uses a new OpenCL system based on the Unity 3D engine to allow players to change the terrain in anyway, create new objects in any form, and do it anywhere.
"Picture a modern version of a world not unlike that of Ultima VII, explored either alone or with a friend, that sees you engage adversaries in tactical turn-based combat reminiscent of the great turn-based RPGs of the past. A world that is filled to the brim with choice and consequence situations, reactive NPCs, and a considerable amount of surprises. A world that captures the feeling of playing pen and paper RPGs with our friends. Then add the new stuff..." - Vision statement for Divinity: Original Sin
Project Eternity is an isometric, party-based computer RPG set in a new fantasy world developed by Obsidian Entertainment.

I am very happy you showed me Hyper Light Drifter, I had no idea about this game and it looks very promising.
It is already successfuly funded, but I guess I could mention that since they still take donations:

Thanks, that game looks and sounds like everything I look for in a rpg.
Most of the games I'm waiting for are crowd funded games.
Some are probably well known to you:
I'm slavering over Starbound at the moment. It's shaping up to be like a Terraria, with a lot more time and resources devoted to it. Also, the devs post updates almost daily and discuss things with the fan-base. It's nice to be appreciated. ^^
I am looking forward to Star Citizen and Shroud of the Avatar a lot in terms of mmos, really could use some taste of old school for mmos. Also Maia and Starbound looks really fun too, havent seen those before.
Almost forgot about one more I should have added to OP is:
Planet Explorers

I've been following many but the only two I've actually pledged to are Star Citizen and Planet Explorers. Both seem like they will be just totally amazing open sandbox experiences. I'm also keeping an eye on Elite: Dangerous and Shroud of the Avatar. I also bought FTL after it released which is an amazing Rogue-Like.

Imagine games like Elite and Star Citizen with Oculus Rift support, now that would be an amazing experience.
Another worthy kickstarter title I found added to my list
Divinity: Original Sin
The only ones that really have my attention right now are HEX MMO, Planet Explorers and The Repopulation.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

I'm such a sucker for these kinda things ... after so many years of trying to justify the word "Potential" you would think I have learned my lesson. Not quite the case ....
~Castle Story: Castle Story is a voxel-based creative strategy game about building castles brick by brick and defending them against enemies.

~Star Citizen: Reclaim the stars in the exciting new Space Epic from legendary game designer Chris Roberts.

~Divinity: Original Sin: Divinity Original Sin is an old-school cRPG with new ideas & modern execution, will release this year.

Star Citizen has gotten it's hooks in good. By far the bulk of my donation cash has been given to that one. I have seen some interesting ones that I missed in this thread however.
I did draw a line at the "Occulus Rift" I'm thinking one of the later models will be better than the developer prototype they we're kickstarting. As usual, time will tell with all ...

I am waiting for Star Citizen, a game that fit my PvP gamestyle.
Waited for Shroud of the Avatar but the house fiasco -
http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/396471/Seriously-I-was-a-devoted-fan-of-all-ultima-until-this.html
together with PvE players dictating how PvP should turn out lowered my interest.
Don't know who all watches Royal Pains, but VR goggles got a nod.
I had no idea until I started researching that they are now using VR goggles for health and wellness, and as well as a pain distraction during and after surgery.
I really like how they are giving quadriplegic's a full mobility simulation, swimming, walking through parks, even competing in sports.
With all the companies pushing forward hard into revitalizing VR I really think we are once again sitting on the edge of a explosive leap in technology.
I've backed many of the above, of current campaigns I thought Sunless Sea looked quite interesting :-
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/failbetter/sunless-sea
Quote "Sunless Sea is a game of exploration, survival and loneliness set in the award-winning Victorian Gothic universe of Fallen London. Take the helm of your customised steamship and set sail for the unknown! Light and darkness are your greatest allies, but a stout set of cannon and a gunnery officer with a grudge will come in useful too."
I am a bit cautious regarding any crowd funded game. My fear is that they will take the money and run. Also, concerned that they will not come anywhere close to delivering the game(s) as advertised. That does not mean I am not supporting any as I do support Star Citizen and a couple of others from what I consider reputable developers.
Recently, the crowd funded game "Clang" devs reported they were stopping work on that game due to LACK of funds. This was even though they reached their funding goals. That does not bode well for other such projects as the possibility of others. It is extremely risky putting up you money for something that may never come to pass or something that falls far short of promised expectations.
Let's party like it is 1863!
