Hi All, Less than a month until launch! I am just waiting for final costs from Cartamundi for 1000 and 500 decks, additionally I am adding final touches to the campaign draft on Kickstarter. I have uploaded a few pictures of the 4 Kings below, they lay out the illustrative style for the remaining co...

Too many problems: - Tuck is reminiscent of a Nicolai Aaroe deck. - Single-color courts suck. - Back design looks like a combination of 2 deck designs combined (can't place my finger on them). - One-way back design does nothing to enhance this deck. Id never seen the Aaroe deck before (Dominus Obsc...

BAPHOMET V6 BLACK 5 L.jpg We have a provisional launch date for Baphomet, the feedback RE the design and launch date has been mostly positive. It is looking like Cartamundi will be the producers of this deck, I am just waiting for final quotes and time frames. I have spoken briefly to S11 over Inst...

Hey guys, Belated Happy 2020! As discussed last year on the development message board I am looking to launch my Baphomet deck on Kickstarter this year. Printed be EPCC or Cartamundi - priced 'around' $15 depending on final cost of production, postage, fulfilment and tax. The deck will be a black and...

This is solid work and great interaction! Good luck on this one! Thanks so much :D Ive spoken directly with Stockholm17 and I think Cartamundi will be my producer of choice as they do beautiful cold foiling. Fingers crossed this deck ticks some boxes for people in the community and they get behind ...

This is IT. Baphomets by BrightDesignHouse. Hopefully launching on Kickstarter April/May 2020. Black & Gold foil tuck, card backs and Ace - Fully illustrated courts and Joker. The red version would be a potential stretch goal. Thanks to everybody who gave their input. B8E5701C-863E-491C-AC95-708...

I vote Black as the standard deck and the orange as a stretch goal? Thoughts?

As a result of everyones feedback - RED! This is where we are now. I think this looks fantastic. Additionally, we have an amended Joker design, a Jack concept and gold foil detailing on the back of the cards.

I think both versions are fantastic, though I am getting more of an orange vibe from your new color option. I did a very quick-and-dirty color swap just to show a dark red vs. the orange. I think your entire design works well with almost any color. If you are going for red, I think the deeper/darke...

V5! I have been working hard on this tuck; and card designs, to try and accommodate the suggestions I have been given regarding the design while retaining the initial idea I had. I have now split into two colour schemes and I really want the feedback of those that are interested. Which colour scheme...

Amazing response from the community on UC and Reddit, lots of great feedback that I have implemented in the V4 below. I’m feeling like the tuck design and the cards I have done so far ‘ready’ - Just the custom court cards to do now. (The Joker Illustration is NOT the final illustration, it’s a first...

I don't personally have a 1ST deck, but it seems to me his monogram appears only on the tuck flap and back design. Which actually works really well because it's a quite nice monogram to begin with and it's used like monogram patterns on luxury fashion labels. Not just randomly strewn about everywhe...

You're truely attached to your logo, right :) ? I wouldn't put it on the back, just my 0.000002492 BTC. Middle tuck would be my vote. The back could need some more details, imo. A nice pattern instead of the plain black with the white stripes. The frequency of my logo on both the cards and the tuck...

Based on the feedback so far I have arrived at V3, I'm prepared to go to V100 lol. Please see the 3 variations below. I like all of them, but I am wondering which one most excites the community. I would like to gold foil the reverse of the cards; and the Ace of spades, like Chris Ramsays '1st's', Go...

Agreed, the art looks good so far! But don't rush to get a deck together as soon as possible - take your time and really make it shine :D We're not going anywhere and honestly everyone's bank accounts would probably appreciate it too :lol: Thanks. I am doing this all for fun at the moment. I am a p...

I think that is definitely an option, I was also thinking a priestess?

I really like the craft tuck direction and that caduceus design is BADASS. I think it might serve you better to eliminate the checkerboard background on the card backs. It is wreaking havoc on my eyes and I am losing the distinction of those awesome snakes. Perhaps just a crosshatch pattern? The ch...

Going off only what is shown, the top tuck is getting closer to the mark for me. If it were this with standard courts though it would be a pass, but the design presented isn't bad even in just black on a paper bag colored tuck. I am assuming the tuck is a little plain because of it being a prototyp...

Still thinking that this progress update should be moved to the Custom Deck Drafting Board section because it's pretty frequent As requested I have moved my exploratory prototyping to the drafting board, please see link below:- https://unitedcardists.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=15194 Hipster Santa...

After the failure of 2 Kickstarter campaigns I decided to throw myself into prototyping for fun; and not take myself too seriously. My first 2 completed prototypes are ‘Baphomets’ and the self indulgent ‘Gold Baphomets’:- Baphomets - https://www.instagram.com/p/B45fre4BUXn/?igshid=ie1fy441kiwj 132CD...

The prototyping and experimentation continues unabated.

Also, there is already a tuck, and then this product is adding a secondary cut-out tuck to it for... what reason? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irIxkjXOp5M Card clips are not only for protection but also adding pressure to the deck to flatten it out. This doesn't fulfill that purpose :?: Thanks f...

I think it is great that you are part of this community and are partially open to suggestions. You are obviously an incredibly talented person. But, I really think you need to get past having to include your branding on everything. I guess you can either maintain the stubbornness of having your log...

I have continued the development and prototyping and I have arrived at a new tuck design. Please see pictures below. This is just a rough prototype ‘for fun’ at the moment; just wanting feedback from the community. If this were a deck I would put 54 different illustrations on the faces (and the numb...

I will take this into consideration if I decide to design any further decks.

Agreed. The community have spoken, a fully illustrated deck looks like the only way.
Maybe in 2020.

I agree there are a few things that are not how I would prefer it. If I had a gripe, it would be to fully customize the deck because those jokers are freaking awesome. Anyway, glad the shipping (for me anyway) is included. I'm in just for the jokers. I sure hope to see a fully custom deck from you ...
