Re: The problem with Kickstarter

Did you include that level of detail with your write-up? I perused your article but since I'm not planning on running a KS any time soon I didn't read the entire thing. Not exactly sure if this comment was meant for me, but if it was, there really would be no reason to do that for your Kickstarter ...

Re: EMPIRE Playing Cards - Built to Conquer now live on KS

I see what you're saying, Ortho, and I do somewhat agree. But do you really think all kickstarter projects should be viewed like that? Like volantangel pointed out, there really is no risk with this type of projects. Funding a movie is very different from funding something as simple, tangible and e...

Re: EMPIRE Playing Cards - Built to Conquer now live on KS

These look great but I have to limit my simultaneous KS card funding, will probably try to pick them up later if they are available through a distributor.

Re: Federal 52 Part 2 - A NEW Bicycle Playing Card Deck now

Yea pretty hefty price. I nabbed 1@$40 a few minutes after launch b/c I want the option, not sure if I'll keep it though. I really really like his work so it's going to be a struggle. I hope he makes it easy for me and releases tantalizing info about the black deck. If nothing else comes out other t...

Re: The problem with Kickstarter

I can totally see where Deleter is coming from with his point of view, and I also totally get why Mike and others disagree with that view point. I think it literally is a matter of the language Deleter chooses to describe his POV. He likes the idea of helping out the little guy, the artists with gr...

Re: The problem with Kickstarter

One of the things that I think have really hurt playing card campaigns is that we had 2 disastrous projects at the very beginning. Alex's Vortex deck and Lance's Stempunk deck. People are still waiting for their vortex decks to this day, which is over 14 months after Alex received them and the stea...

Re: The problem with Kickstarter

IMO, your statement is exactly the problem and why people keep getting burned. First, you are not investing in a company as you seem to be saying. You are investing in a product. Once that product gets funded, there is absolutely no reason for the product not be delivered, unless the project creato...

Re: The problem with Kickstarter

platform to sell their items Sounds like the problem is the way people approach Kickstarter. It's not just a convenient pre-order storefront. IMO the entire point of Kickstarter is to fund the little guy and risky projects that the banks wouldn't touch. Not because every endeavor is going to work o...
