Re: Market Manipulation Playing Cards - Live on KS on May 10th

I really like the design and effort that's gone into this fully custome deck even with one-way full bosy courts. Have backed but it does look like will struggle to fund. Challenging times I fear. Thanks for the support Strag :) Quick note in case you missed it: the Bull Edition is full one way figu...

Thanks for posting and good luck :D Thanks for fixing the post! :) I just finished my second year in finance, might have to get these lol It's a very fascinating world! We did kind of go with a bit of a hyperbole in the deck though, don't want to set excessive expectations :D Make Ken Griffin a Jok...

NOW LIVE: Guns, Jazz & Whiskey

Hi forum! Sharing our project, now live on Kickstarter: Guns, Jazz & Whiskey. Those of you who have a good memory will remember this from last year -it is indeed a relaunch. We are very close to the goal (actually, we had hit the goal, but someone backed out). The project tries to portray our vi...

Re: Guns, Jazz & Whiskey in Lower East Side - KS

The backgrounds on the spade courts are definitely an improvement. Much better than having them standing in a void. Thanks! That was a frequent feedback here on the forum and elsewhere. We actually also reworked the other background deck, both by making the golden background bigger and by cutting o...

Hi all! I hope it is ok to bump this thread, it feels like a better idea than creating a new one - please feel free to delete if it is not.

Re: Guns, Jazz & Whiskey in Lower East Side - KS

WHITE SPACE: I cannot disagree here either. Here the designer took a quite strong stance when I brought the issue up (you can see in the Custom Deck Drafting Board section the topic). She thinks that figures needed to be airy, because that was the style back then, and any more background would have...

Re: Codename Project Cleo - feedback welcome!

I am more confident I can sell 400 decks at $17-18 than 500 at $14-$15. Interesting. I would have though vice versa but that is solely a guess from my site. I didn't do any market research so take it with a grain of salt. I feel like some collector's might be turned of by a higher deck prize. I agr...

I guess I don't feel like thinking too hard or crunching all the numbers, but if foil is $2 per deck, why does it add $5 per deck to begin the campaign with it?

Alright! I would like to pick your brain on a topic that is not usually discussed by creators, price - since I'm here asking for feedback, might as well do the whole thing. I am pondering whether to release a tuck with or without foil. Here the situation: foil costs north of $2000 on 1000 decks, so ...

So, as said, the idea is a 1920 art deco themed deck. The name will be Guns, Jazz and Whiskey. Originally I wanted to ...

Re: Apology

I'll give you my two cents as a new designer. Asking for feedback on the internet is always scary, because you pour your heart out on a project and nobody but you knows the amount of time and energy and courage it takes. This is why it is so hard to accept what you think is undeserved criticism. On ...

Re: Codename Project Cleo - feedback welcome!

How did I not see this yet? It could be excellent. Definitely don't cut any of the body, art deco was very much about full elegant figures. The issue with the first draft wasn't so much the detail as the detail being disjointed, like separate elements rather than a cohesive whole of different parts...

Thanks a lot to both of you! That's why I do this, when you spend too much time on something it becomes hard to be objective in judging it :) So, from both messages, what I understand is that the background needs to have a more horizontal orientation. I agree that white space is a bit too much, we w...

Re: Codename Project Cleo - feedback welcome!

I like the court figures and the background designs alone. I am not sure the low detail figures quite fit with the more detailed background. I am also not a fan of the harsh line separating the 2 halves of the court figures. Of course that could be just because they are early designs. I also don't ...

I would also advice against declaring a lower price than the ticket price, especially if you are a professional seller.

Re: sending cards internationally

Generally speaking, import fees are a buyer's issue, you are not supposed to care. In the future I would state that clearly, though, if not already specified as for example it is on eBay. Most European countries can charge custom fees if the item value is above 22 euros (with some differences among ...

Hey collectors!

After a long, long month, last night we hit 100%! Thank you to everyone that was there with positive or negative comments!

I'll leave the celebrations for when everything is set in stone. Now the mission impossible is trying to hit the first stretch goal!
