Re: Update - Where I've Been

Hey everyone, It's been a while since I've been active here, so I wanted to get in touch and let you know what's been happening. After finishing my studies at my university, I had a lot of work that I was doing, which unfortunately left me with little time or resources to focus on the Tragedy of Ma...

Re: Tragedy of Macbeth Playing Cards - Design Thread

No effort to take the suit into account this time around for the courts? Not a big deal on my part at all, but it seems like it *might* be a missed opportunity. Unless you've already tried it with the new design and still found it a bit too difficult to make it work aesthetically. Hi. As talked abo...

Re: Tragedy of Macbeth Playing Cards - Design Thread

A very promising graphic. We understand that it is a long process especially if advanced studies are done in parallel. Good luck, I like what you draw. Thanks for the kind words. There's a good amount of things I didn't like from the previous version we did, as well as processes behind the scenes t...

Re: Tragoedia Macbethi Playing Cards - Experience the Tragedy of Macbeth

I’ve been curiously watching this design, wondering how well it would do on Kickstarter. Last year I did a Tudor Dynasty design that didn’t do well at all (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/randybutterfield/playing-cards-house-of-tudor?ref=user_menu).

Re: Tragoedia Macbethi Playing Cards - Experience the Tragedy of Macbeth

Legends is definitely worth looking into, as is WJPC who I believe offer various deals to first timers. LPCC hasn't gotten back to me since my initial contact with them last month and a couple of weeks ago. However, I did successfully get in contact with EPCC, and since both operate in the same fac...

Changing Manufacturers

Good news! After speaking with EPCC, I'll move over to them for manufacturing. It's a great alternative, considering that EPCC shares the same factory floors as LPCC and that LPCC hasn't responded to my manufacturing request. Plus, they don't have the 2500 minimum order quantity that USPCC has, and ...

Re: Tragedy of Macbeth Playing Cards - Design Thread

Doesn't USPCC have a 2500 deck minimum now? To make sure it gets funded the next go around, wouldn't it make more sense to use MPC or WJPC since they can start off with a much lower deck run, greatly lowering the minimum cost to make the project viable? Especially with it being a 1st time project a...

Hello everyone. I wanted to update you regarding the deck and what happened since the Kickstarter was cancelled. My co-founder is no longer part of this and future decks.

Re: Tragoedia Macbethi Playing Cards - Experience the Tragedy of Macbeth

$22k is a very high target for a first time deck. That has nothing to do with the value of what you're offering, it just means 22k is too high full stop, so cut your cloth accoridingly. If you can't offer those decks for less, change what you're offering. A reasonable first time effort would be in ...

Re: Tragoedia Macbethi Playing Cards - Experience the Tragedy of Macbeth

Personally, all the white space on the court cards does not appeal to me. Initially, we tried adding the pips to the court cards, but some were obstructed by the court card characters, the Queen of Clubs being a good example. We're going to test somethings out and see if we can work something out.

We need some high school English teachers to get a whiff of this deck.
That's something I'm considering.

We've Cancelled the Campaign

We've cancelled the campaign and will relaunch it on Tuesday at 8 AM EDT.

I think our rushing to launch on Friday was a wrong decision, and we plateaued immediately.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide feedback on the Kickstarter campaign and how it can be improved.

I've changed the shipping rates for playing card add-ons, such as the Standard & Limited Edition add-ons, the Bundle, Bundle+, Half Brick and Full Brick. The issue stems from the fact that Kickstarter would see an add-on as an individual addition to a pledge, which is normal but results in an is...

Re: Tragoedia Macbethi Playing Cards - Experience the Tragedy of Macbeth

So, one potential backer sent a message saying that the shipping cost for the UK was £40 for four decks. I was very confused since the Bundle+ (2 decks of each edition) only costs £14 for shipping. However, the condition that created the £40 shipping cost was that he backed a Limited Edition and add...

Re: Tragoedia Macbethi Playing Cards - Experience the Tragedy of Macbeth

So I had my eye on these, art looks good (although the Limited is so much better than the standard I'm not sure it was worth making this two decks) but as usual the shipping is just way too much for me to even be on the fence. £10 for one deck from a UK designer when I'm in the UK is just...
