This is a sort of remake of the original Bard's Tale and the web site is halarious! I still love the original though...
Check this http://www.thebardstale.com/
You need to hover and or click on each person a couple of times to get the full effects
The two at the back made me crack up...
Also http://www.thebardstale-thegame.com/uk/ which also is sort of funny and has a demo download of the game. - I couldn't run it though as my video card couldnt run it.
More info on the maker/designer here http://www.gamebanshee.com/interviews/thebardstale1.php

Yes, I also was at a first glance a bit disappointed because I had expected something based on the original Bard's Tale series (which I only started to play on Amiga AFTER I was through with Dungeon Master, although it was available on my C64 years earlier).
But on a second glance I found that the new Bard's Tale game is bloody brilliant. It is not a classical mixed-classes-party game, true. You play a bard, and you get other characters in the course of time when you learn more and more summoning songs.
What's making the game bloody brilliant though is its zynical humour, and the total lack of any moral on part of the main character, who is far more interested in wine, women, song and gold instead of the epic quest to save the world. I just love the way the game plays with role-playing-clichées. Have you seen the undead dancing contest? I nearly laughed tears when I saw it.
Oh, and the game has three different endings which are also quite funnny.
