You might not believe me but it's official, Bag of Bones has officially launched on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/artiphany/bag-of-bones-playing-cards?ref=discovery A couple years ago, I set out to make a deck like no other, a deck that would make bridge the gap between this worl...

Hi all,

Now on Kickstarter!

Featuring a gold-foiled tuck box, original artwork, and unique storytelling, Bag of Bones is a deck that depicts paranormal folklore across time and culture.

Everyone's comments are helpful to my project. This forum puts me in touch with a group that has a much bigger view of the card community than I do so it's all to the good.
That would be an easy thing to do and people always like to a choice.

I guess you're thinking that silver perhaps is more in keeping with the theme: moonlight, cold, cold grey bones and pale shades of ectoplasm.....You have a point. However, gold is gold and the allure is undeniable, especially set against the black background. There are some silvery elements within t...

I'm considering 3 different colors for the boxes. And gold foil letters on the cover.

Attached below is a photo of the deck box (left), collectors deck box (bottom right), and the deck for my Bag of Bones deck (top right), soon to be released on Kickstarter! I would love to hear any and all thoughts on it! Thank you!

Hi all, I'm working on the release of my revised deck, Bag of Bones, centered around a dark underworld humor concerning Vampires, Demons, Wizards, and other mythical creatures of the night. I'm planning to launch it on Kickstarter and have been producing a promotional video centered around the idea ...

Hi: I'm about to send my new deck to the printer and wanted some gilding on a small quantity. That's why your post got my attention. My understanding is that the gilt edges are mirror-like in the beginning, the material deteriorates over time and interferes with the handling of the cards. Right?

Thank you, Villainous One:
Lord Beyond it is.
And thanks for the compliment.

Hi All, Soon I'll be launching a KS campaign for my revised deck, Back of Bones. I'd like to release a version of my new deck which is available to the public for a fair price, but I also want to offer something of value to collectors without limiting the number of decks produced. What strategies wo...

Still working on some lore for my upcoming deck, Bag of Bones. I have some new art I'm ready to show for the king, but I'm not sure what to name him. I have narrowed the choices down to the following: Pluto Charon Ozymandias undead Lord Beyond If you have any ideas for names, please share below. Tha...

I always try to tell a story with my deck, using the suits. Is there a storyline to this deck? If so, I'm not exactly sure what it is.

Lol. I don't mind the design. It would be cool if there was a storyline though.

Working on some lore for my new KS deck, Bag of Bones. Any thoughts?

On the night of the Blood Moon, the clock strikes thirteen. The church is empty, the ceiling bats mysteriously gone, the priest and apostles fled home at sundown, the villagers in their basements behind iron bolts. When the clouds clear, the stained-glass windows glow crimson. Your breathing gets he...

I thought there was going to be a super hero themed deck, like "Super Fly," "dun-dun-dun!"

Hi all, Attached below is a photo of the Vampire King (the old version and the new version) for my upcoming KS deck, Bag of Bones. I'm working on the lore and wondered if we could have a public vote for what his name should be. I have narrowed down the choices to the following: Ulrik Clyde Lyle Bloo...

Oh, that's too bad

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

Where is that stone they pull the sword from?

Fun. 17 dollars is a bit of a steep price, considering that the animal themed cards I sell are going for 13.50. But the artwork assures me it's definitely worth the price! My favorite has to be the kings (elephant and elk!)

To be clear, this is not a collaboration between me and Wizards of the Coast. I'm just a big fan of their work!

Wouldn't it be cool if they made a Magic The Gathering Deck for playing cards? I've been playing Magic The Gathering for quite some time and I'm actually working on a new playing card deck, Bag of Bones (which I can't help but compare to some vampire Magic the Gathering cards).

An Illiad deck? What about an Odyssey deck? Juliet, where doth thy yonder window waits?

Oopsies. Any thoughts on names?

Hi all, Attached below is a photo of the Vampire Queen (the old version and the new version) for my upcoming KS deck, Bag of Bones. I'm working on the lore and wondered if we could have a public vote for what her name should be. I have narrowed down the choices to the following: Esmeralda Scarlet Ly...

Fun. I'll bring this one on my camping/farming trips

I love it! I love it! I love it! Evil recognizes evil...

Opponent: Royal flush
Me: Uno Reverse

I missed it; what's missing?
