badpete69 , thanks for sharing my project! I'm really happy to get this project out there and to see the response from everyone! volantangel my Metropol NOX campaign raised just under $13,000. :D Since I'm based in Canada and the production needs American funds the prices tend to be higher than ave...

Sprouts is probably thinking along the lines of EriK Mana's Indigo/Zinfadel KS project. Shipping for US included. Shipping for Canada - Add X Shipping outside of Northern America - Add X That's actually a really good idea. I'll have to keep that in mind for my next project. Unfortunately it's too l...

I get it your from Canada and you want to give a discount on international shipping. So international shipping should be 1)USA 2) Anywhere in the world 3) Australia. It's that simple.... It might be cause I haven't slept much in the last couple of days but I'm having trouble understanding your repl...

Hi Everyone, Out of respect for the forum owner, I haven't posted since the forum rules changed a while back. Out of respect for all of you who have follwed my project and given feedback or even backed it, I feel I should at least address your questions. First, I really appreciate the feedback. Ship...

Hey Everyone, Here's a preview of the coin I've been designing to go along with this deck. http://www.shinynewmachine.com/metropol/noxCoin.png Being a poker player, this coin is definitely casino inspired. I haven't quite settled on a final material for it yet either. I'm debating between high luste...

how long did it take for the decks to be shipped to you? I ordered prototype decks myself and I recieved an e-mail 4 weeks ago telling me that my decks were shipped. I haven't got them yet, though. I think the whole process only took about 3 weeks from the time I placed the order until they arrived...

Thanks for the feedback guys! I appreciate it. I think I'm going to go with the new design for the card backs, since I've gotten a lot of positive feedback about it. I've just got a few more last minute details to sort out, and then I should be submitting the campaign for Kickstarter to review. It's...

Free time has been hard to come by lately, so it's taking me a little longer to get this campaign off the ground than I had hoped. It should be going live very soon though! I put together a mock-up of what the uncut sheets that will be offered during the campaign will look like: http://www.shinynewm...

I've been looking into it and I think I'm going to offer coins as a stretch goal for the campaign. I'm working on a couple of designs at the moment and should have something to show later tonight.

So, I decided to get a couple sample decks printed from http://www.makeplayingcards.com . I'm still heavily leaning towards having the decks printed by USPCC, but I wanted to have a printed copy of the deck just to see how it would look and feel. Having been a digital artist for the last 15 years, I...

Make sure you check into the pricing for the posters, Albino Dragon failed to check this on their 1st campain and they had to come back the the backers and ask for $4 from all of us to get the posters shipped out. Thanks for the head's up. The last thing I want to do is come back to everyone after ...

Hey Guys, I know it's been a few days since I've posted anything. I just wanted to give a quick update. I've been doing a lot of research into shipping and I think I've found a way to keep the costs a lot lower than my initial expectations. You'd be surprised how much a bubble mailer can cost. I'm s...

Thanks guys! I'm really happy with this new design, and I think it fits the look of the deck much better. I've got a question about perks. What do people think about all the offerings of stuff like posters, t-shirts, uncut sheets, etc? Is there a demand for those, or do you guys just want the cards?...

Hey Guys, I definitely appreciate the feedback, even if it is a little off topic from the card designs. ;) The people here obviously have a lot more experience with this stuff than I do, so it's great to hear opinions for and against all the options. I'm still leaning towards USPCC at the moment, BU...

To answer a couple of the questions I missed earlier: This deck will be printed by USPCC. Being based in Canada I'm realizing the complications of having the deck printed in the US, and then having it sent to me, only to send out the majority of the decks back to the US. I'm looking into what option...

So I went back to the drawing board for a couple days and I've chosen a new direction for the court cards. I think this new direction fits in with the rest of the design work a lot better. This design is not finished. While I'm happy with the direction it's taken, I still think I need to do a bit mo...

I think I can live with that! I hope to have something new to show in a day or two.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I really appreciate it! I struggled with the court cards and I think that's pretty obvious ;) What's interesting though is after about 40+ designs, the ones I posted here got the best reaction from everyone I had shown the designs too. To be fair though, none of tho...

Hi Everyone, I've just finished designing my first deck (hopefully the first of many) and I'm putting the finishing touches on a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the production. I consider the designs more or less finished, but I'd love to get some feedback from this community (I wish I'd found thi...

Hi everyone, My name is Mike and I've been working on a number of deck designs over the last few months. I have one that I've completed and will be running a Kickstarter campaign to fund their production starting later this week. I'll be posting some previews of the deck and more information in the ...
