Making sure customers are satisfied should be top of the Monday morning list, and perhaps it is but there are too many emails to respond to in one day...? I decided to wait longer on a reply and it came in. Y'all, I'm human. This struck me as particularly frustrating and I vented. But even if I'm f...

Still no reply. Apparently this was nothing but a bait and switch. Too bad we don't have an unreliable vendors list the way we have an unreliable Kickstarter list. Also, they apparently skimped on the glue for the tuck cases because the bottom promptly dropped off of the one I unwrapped, and the bot...

I tried working with them for a Kickstarter project and they got offended when I told them I was going to have to use the Kickstarter to fund a print run, and they blew off any further communication. If I ever get a project funded, I'll spend however many hours it takes to do fulfillment myself befo...

Buyer beware: I ordered 2 and they sent me 2 NOC bronze luxury decks, and haven't replied to my email.

I am not sure of the reason for the Suits Legend card - maybe to rank the suits? If the suits bear no resemblance to traditional suits, I don't think people are going to be thinking traditionally and translating them I would think it is a big risk to take in terms of sales As it is, that blob/face?...

As someone who's on his 2nd failed Kickstarter, I can tell you it's good to sell SOME. LOL

Thank you for the updates! Any indication as to where/when the 2025 conference will be?

Well played!

Whoops! Looks like I got to this party a little late. Y'all all enjoy your cards.

Surely pixellated thorns aren't that sharp.

There is a centuries-long tradition of artists receiving financial support so that they can spend their time involved in creation. If you love Oath Playing Cards and what Lotrek does, then this is a chance to give additional support and help enable more production of what you love. You're part of co...

I'm not the same one, and I'd really appreciate you saving one. Thank you very much! If it makes things easier, you could mail it along with my pledge from Jazz Riff. I can DM you my information. If you still have more than one after 52PJ (which I'm certain you won't, they're awesome), I'll be happy...

Thanks for backing! Don’t see any “issues” so far, so that’s good. Kickstarter did have some site issues at launch that caused people to not be able to complete their pledge and in some cases they couldn’t see the campaign. I couldn’t even update or reload the page. They fixed the website issues at...

Hopefully you continue to create things that bring you joy, as that is art. Whether others like it or not is a bonus. That's a really great way to look at it and I appreciate that. I like that you're taking in feedback but also going with what you like. If you decide to go with MPC, it'll be really...

I think most people expect either a non-revoke 4 different colors deck or a 2x2 color deck eg black x2 and red or orange x2. Not both red and orange or else you end up with a 3 color deck which I have never seen before and IMO (only) confuses and reduces playability I'll keep this in mind with futu...

I like these. My wife is a big jazz fan so it's a great purchase for both of us. I've really gotten into Wondercraft cards recently and given how much I like their feel, this was pretty much an automatic buy for me. I really liked what came with the cards; the stickers are some of the best I've seen...

You know, I am having a little trouble parsing out what you mean by "playability." If it means that the various suits are easy to distinguish, i think I've made a very playable deck I don't think you can mistake any one pip or index for another. I sincerely think that game play would be ea...

Thank you for posting these. I have further updated the images on Kickstarter so that people can see more details on the cards.

It is, but I didn't want to appear to be name dropping or imply I have any association with KWP (other than being a big fan). I emailed their customer service and asked who their printer was. They were really nice and provided it. I did ask to have the same cardstock and finishing as KWP gets, so th...

Dongguan Tongheng. That's the printer that I've seen used in some recent very successful Kickstarters and they've been great to work with.

You've seen the progression of some of the deck, so I won't post more pictures. I do have an image of the tuck case and a half-brick box (which I've never done before) and I think I did a decent story.

I really like this project, and as someone who is trying to improve his art, design, Photoshop, and Illustrator skills, it's been amazing to see Jackson Robinson work on YouTube. I think it might be easy for anyone who hasn't tried deck design or working with Photoshop to think it's not incredibly d...

A couple of other little things. What are the clubs? By that I mean, the little triangles in them AND why orange for a traditional black suit - orange is more accepted as a substitute for red. If they weren't orange then the hearts/bats could be orange instead of red and you would have orange subst...

I have less of an issue with the hearts themselves, but the similarity between the heart pips and the spade pips can certainly lead to confusion for this deck. I ended up reworking 3 of the 4 pips in the deck. https://i.kickstarter.com/assets/046/389/003/1cb663589c0dd15ddc9d267855c98806_original.pn...

You do realize I'm going to have to roll your yard for that, right?

Harvonsgard wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2024 8:47 amIt's nice to see the all custom work though.

Thanks! It took more time than it might look like. I'm still very new to Illustrator and Photoshop.

IMO it is FAR more important to create a useable deck. A black heart upside down looks like a black spade, if orange - not so much One of the things I struggle with is getting too attached to the original design/concept. I might have dug my heels in more, but then my wife said y'all have a point. S...

The tricolor pip is candy corn, which is a traditional Halloween candy in the U.S. The ace of hearts is a stylized black bat - basically a heart with bat wings - and I felt like it was important to keep the pips the same color as the ace. It probably would have helped for me to include a picture of ...

I think it's kind of a trashy theme to build a deck around, but best of luck to them.
