Noooooooooo!

Curses, there goes the budget again.

I'm intrigued, but I think it'll be hard to top the first Black Book deck.

Funny you should say that, since the creator of Steampunk Pirates (Nat Iwata) is doing the art.

Thanks to everyone here who helped spread the word, supplied comments, and offered encouragement and constructive criticism to help us see this project through to fulfillment! -Todd (Cultúrlán team member) Congrats - I think these turned out very nicely. I ended up not joining in the Kickstarter, s...

Randy reports shipping to commence tomorrow.

An interesting wrinkle - the Kickstarter UI now allows a backer to tick off a check-box when they get their rewards.

At the moment, this just looks like a book-keeping entry for backers. But this could be the start of a better feedback loop inside Kickstarter.

Got my cards (Calif) today, they look great - I wouldn't have even noticed the KD thing if it hadn't been mentioned

Just got shipping notification for my Red decks.

What an amazingly business-like project.

Welp, looks like another project to add to the list of "troubled, likely headed for worse."

How would kickstarter enforce your proposition exactly? Cause if I'm clear, you're asking Kickstarter to tell people that they can not sell their product on a retail market before they sell to their backers, correct? Sorry, but there's no way they can enforce that. Is it a bad practice? Yup. Is it ...

A viable alternative will never appear, simply because of the nature of the business. You are giving money to someone who doesn't have the product to give you when the item is purchased. Most people have no expertise in what they are campaigning for on KS. They are only doing it because they have t...

Have people that backed the kickstarter received their decks yet? Many of us have not. ...and I'm not holding my breath... I think we're too quick to jump on people, frankly. I expect that everyone will get their decks, and understand that it's frustrating when you see something like this if you ha...

Actually, the story was given in Blueblood Redux. Here's a link for those who missed it. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1244376122/blueblood-redux-limited-edition-playing-cards/posts/578044" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);retur...

Number and court cards shouldn't look the same. Look closer - they don't. The courts (and jokers) have a distinctive white background behind the clock faces as opposed to the black or red backgrounds on the number cards. I think we should cut the guy some slack. It's not a slick job, it's far from ...

I think the single most impressive thing about the pledges was that when I logged in, perhaps 50 minutes after the start, all 20 of the redwood brick boxes had been snapped up. I watch projects a lot. If I happen to see one available (people have "Buyers remorse" all the time, and release...

Definitely will be on KS, since they refer to "Backers".

Edit: (Reference to backers was in the text, not the posted images.)

Cosmic, that cat meme is classic. Probably the best I've seen. I guess I was right, he's is trying to raise funds to ship out some ks decks. We aren't talking about a million bucks. Can't he borrow some money from family or friends to get the ks behind him. That should be the priority, he can use t...

Would you guys shun me if I buy some decks of the website?

No, but we'll laugh at you if you get scammed.

Why would you risk dealing with a proven thief?

I think I'm going to start a kickstarter for the ultimate minimalist deck with white on white printing. LE black on black deck.

Thanks for the heads-up. I've bailed out of this one.

I caved to the peer pressure and upgraded to the metal case.

badpete69 wrote:yep with metal case for me I think Brillig took the plastic case

Yep, just the plastic case for me.

badpete69 wrote:Brillig I guess it's you and me backing right now unless you are not one of the two hehe

I guess we were #1 and 2.

It's Aliiiiive!

Custom courts.

The one thing that's preventing me from backing is the fact the it feels so disconnected. I was excited to see a woman as the queen, which led me the believe there would be a relation between the pictures and the cards. So far it just seems like fantastic pictures with pips on them. Correct me if I...

Looks like they are starting at 100 dollars. What do you guys think? I think that since the minimum pledge for International is two decks (WHAT??!?!), I'm over and out. It's unlikely that I'd be able to rationalize one deck, but forcing me to spring for two is a complete non-starter. It looks like ...

Everyone has these cards now. I think I got 57 cards in my deck. This is an Elite deck so the pips are small and the court pics are small too. During a card game, hard to distinguish the clubs and the spades. I found out I have (2) 7 of Diamonds. For one of the gaff cards is an Ace of Spades with a...
