At this point, I can't say I'm surprised at this response:

Thank you for your suggestions. Our main artist did not want to make any changes.

Such a shame. This deck had potential.

-The halo was used to indicate that the person portrayed was a saint. It wasn't in my plans to reveal it yet but since it was mentioned, here you are: There will be 3 editions of this deck: The "Secular Edition" (without the halo). This will be the standard edition. The "Sacred Editi...

That lettering is a very typical characteristic of Byzantine art. They used to write the name of the saint on the left or right side of the head and I see it more as a graphic element and I don't really care if it's easily read. I like it a lot and I'll be sorry if I have to drop it. Would you say ...

This guy has no idea what he is doing which is fine. His Kickstarter will fail, but to come on the scene with a lie is being shy short of a scammer. Screenshot 2014-11-22 05.14.13.png There's no press kit on the press kit page , and the linked (and thanked) media organization disavows any affiliati...

Glad you like it. The goal wasn't to create a dummy-proof display, though, it was to come up with something that a reasonably handy person could assemble out of common materials with minimal fuss and expense, or something that would be relatively cheap and easy for a fabricator to make for you. So f...

Is this it?: "The banded is the Limited edition Deck that the lace will wrap around the entire deck by using the lines left from bleeding off the edge of the cut to create an illusion that the lace pattern spills of the edge and on to the sides.. itll look banded from front to back" Hey! ...

The thread's here.

A teaser like this does not pique my interest: a blurry graphic gives me no reason to be intrigued, and no one's good name is backing up that statement. Is this a D&D industry first, or a Jackson Robinson industry first? Or, perhaps, an Altius Management industry first? It makes a world of diffe...

I wouldn't call it a "repository," but here's some vector graphics (SVG and EPS).

Update #3 from the Killer Clowns campaign says: Help support my son's new deck Classic Monsters. This is the first deck that he has created and it will be released under Classics Playing Cards. He has always loved the art of playing cards and with the creation and success of collectableplayingcards...

Your pips have different vertical heights. If you had, let's say, each of the 7s side-by-side, the length of the column would differ between the cards. I think you've missed a chance to bring in original artwork. Following the suggestions above, adding drawings of these inventors as court cards can ...

While I will defer to the lawyers in our midst, I have some familiarity with IP law (as someone who owns some IP and wants to be able to protect it), and my understanding is that, in fact, yes, public domain means that anybody can do with it what they will. Trademarks, of course, can interfere with...

I have no idea why "celestial" is in there. To me (and I suspect a lot of others too) that has an astronomical meaning, which was supported by my recent googling of the term. As for the other two, all I ask is that it "fits" with the text on the other aces. Consistency, consiste...

Unless you have more than one person on the card, the singular form for B is needed, therefore it would be "Celestial," without an "s" at the end. As for C: the term is "Chinese Labor er ." A Chinese laborer trades labor for money. The text is already looking pretty squ...

The deck is supposed to teach people Van Gogh's works, but the cards don't actually say what each painting is called... amazing. You'd have to refer to the Kickstarter every single time. Like, it's not the worst KS deck, but it's still pretty bad. The paint skills are weak in this one. There was no...

The 'Chinaman' reference will get you angry letters. My take is it's historical and not meant to be offensive, but somebody will take offense. Then again, somebody will be offended no matter what you do. Just not sure you want to deal with the drama over it since the name will cause the issue, but ...

That looks great! The only thing stopping me from pledging now is the high price... MUCH better back! I'm with Tom 100% on my possible pledge.. They added some new tiers for U.S. residents. Tom's got int'l shipping charges, but your user info says you're in the US and therefore have free shipping. ...

Aside from weight and tuck depth, the other dimensions were comparable to the deck of Tally-Hos I had on hand. I've seen more size variation between tucks (and occasionally on the same tuck) in the same run. The height difference is more visible than the width difference. Banshee Weight: 134.6g Weig...

It's buried in update #8 of 35: I need to apologize. I tried so hard to make this Different Deck special and unique in every way and then when I announced the uncut sheet, I put the deck in the EXACT SAME ORDER as every other normal deck out there. How embarrassing, right? Well, luckily many of you ...

I'll address this point first and ponder the rest: I'm not offering these decks beyond the limited run that will cover the backers, so it shouldn't be a consumer issue. Unless you were only going to distribute them to friends/family, the fact that it's a commercial product at all means you've got co...

Hrm. I seem to recall some posts that said the rider-backs are trademarked. I searched UC and didn't find anything, but here and here it's mentioned. I guess I could look for more official proof, but I'm pretty certain Don's correct. I think there's a potential issue: will consumers, looking at the ...

I don't seem to like tuck bells & whistles as much as many people do, so I'd prefer not to pay an extra 25% price hike right off the bat for features I wouldn't have chosen on my own. If a stretch goal enables the feature, great: the extra cost is distributed among the larger number of backers. ...

Quick! Someone do the conversions and math. Cuz uh... I dropped out of college. Just in case you are serious... :lol: Click on a pledge tier and KS does the conversion for you... :ugeek: And google does conversions (currency, measurements) and calculations. If you enter, for example, €10 to usd int...

Is "flat design" actually a thing? I'd google it, but... can't be bothered. I googled it, curious to know if it was a thing, and whether someone was going to come after this deck with an intellectual property claim. Yes, it is a thing. This image is a good summary. Gizmodo explains : [F]l...

I've done more work with polystyrene than acrylic, so I wasn't sure if the more rigid thermoplastics would be more prone to issues. Working for free with opaque sheets that were going to be painted, I didn't need to care whether there was any crazing. Anyhow, if you can price them below the retail c...

Hey there's an idea! Who's willing to set up shop with me? We'll sit outside magic conventions and make clips on the spot! WHILE-U-WAIT! :lol: I'm half serious about that. :ugdance: Hrm... I'm not exactly looking to go into the plastic fabrication business, but I note that you could also make the c...

I guess I should more explicitly qualify what I'm saying. I'm not a professional glazier, but I have a knack for crafts--a professional amateur, if you will. I've done a fair bit of glass cutting, but I've never worked with lead came myself. I've done some work in copper foil, though, and the basic ...

Here, let's do this: I'll provide you with a commentary of what's not that realistic, maybe what would be more realistic, and you get to pick and choose what aspects to adopt and what to ignore. Much like we say about playing card design: it's best when a designer is aware of "how it should be ...

I like the concept and look, but I'm going to nitpick a bit. Neither of the proposed names works very well for me. "Cardinal" means too many other things that will just confuse people. (If I saw a listing for a "Cardinal" deck with no further description/images, it could be bird ...

Thanks, all. I love to share this sort of info, and it's nice that the effort isn't wasted. (The blank, "who the hell cares?" look I get in response to most of my labors of love gets a little wearing.) Very nice, but my only concern is the overlapping cards. With the pressure caused from t...
