I have never heard that Scott Adams quote before, but I love it.

Thanks for the support, guys. We're going gangbusters so far. I really hope we can nail down some of the stretch goals, because this deck will look a lot cooler with some tuck upgrades.

To reiterate Magic Orthodoxy's point, and to clarify - we're going live at 1PM CST for the relaunch. If you sign up at the Prefundia page you will be notified when we launch. Thank you again to everyone who helped with the redesign. Oh, and to thank everyone who has paid attention this whole time, w...

Well, that would be why I am sending them out for some reviews.

I will tell you that the tucks on the demo decks are not great. They are too thick and do not have a sealed bottom flap. Liberty will be making thinner tucks with a sealed bottom for the full run, but it was prohibitively expensive to get a custom tuck for just 24 decks. The other stuff - finish, st...

The redesigned Wanted Poster deck is at the printer now, with an order for 24 demo decks. I want to send a bunch to reviewers and generally respected people, so that I can let people see that Liberty Playing Cards makes some mighty fine cards. Any suggestions? I know of a handful of reviewers, but I...

Not that the idea isn't cool, but I already sent the Wanted Poster deck to the printer to have promo decks printed. Heck, at this point, if I started drawing everything again, we wouldn't see anything for another six months to a year. I'm not very fast at this.

Eoghann, I honestly hadn't really thought of sun-dried tomato people, but now I think that's pretty awesome. Really, I just drew skulls and bones and stuff, and then drew a bunch of extra lines on them. And yes, the fangs are canines. They are deliberately exaggerated to look more mean. These aren't...

The Wanted Poster deck is all tricked out, laid in and ready to go to the printer. Huge thanks to everyone who helped me with that one. It looks a TON better, thanks to all your help. So now I'm working on the Rusted Tin deck. Here's what I have so far, in terms of redesign: http://vixentorgames.com...

The updated black joker:



I think that about covers the redesign stuff for the wanted poster deck. I'm going to work on the rusted tin, see if I can't get that one tuned up so it looks better.

Work on the skulls is going gangbusters. I wanted to share the ace of hearts, though I am not planning on posting up the other aces, because I'm pretty happy with them so far. http://vixentorgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/acehearts.jpg Obviously it's not colored yet. Still need to swing by the...

Here are the samples for the other three suits. Eoghann, you'll notice I leaned on the skull a little. I do like it better this way - thanks for the idea. http://vixentorgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/H10.jpg http://vixentorgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/10S.jpg http://vixentorgames.com/...

Here we go, new pips. Lighter on the inside, with much clearer barbed wire.



By the way, thank you all for your help so far. I am already seeing a much better deck of cards, and the only card that's done so far is the 10 of clubs.

Got it. I will work on more contrast in the details of the pips. The wire obviously needs to be a lot lighter.

For the record, I still want a lot of barbed wire on these cards. I just don't necessarily want the border to be where it is. I agree that it should be a lot more evident on the pips, but the barbed wire border looked, I don't know, wavy, and a little cluttered. I've tried again with this: http://vi...

As some of you may have noted, the Plugged Nickel Playing Cards did not fund. I mean, sure, they have 15 hours left, but they're also like a third of the way there. So that's a bust. What I would like to do is go back to the drawing board and redesign aspects of the cards. To that end, I would serio...

I am more concerned about making sure that the people who support this venture get the best end of the stick. I want them to have their cards before anyone else, and I want them to pay less than anyone else. The number of cards printed will be the same either way - unless something really insane hap...

I am flattered to have had my creation featured in your dreams. A little disturbed, possibly, but flattered. I'm hoping you guys can help me out here. I just had a reseller ask if he could wholesale the cards. I know there are lots of people who do that, but I don't have the foggiest idea what to sa...

I know the early bird specials are kind of a thing, and I get why they exist, but I don't like them. I know, that's insane. But they feel like playing favorites. I've seen decks where I didn't want to pledge because I hadn't been early enough to be one of the cool kids. I actually opted out of the O...

I love those card backs. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the deck.

Awesome, Bikefanatic. I'm actually launching at 1 PM, CST, tomorrow (February 23). So about 13 hours from when I am posting right now.

Thanks, Strag. I was pretty sure Albino Dragon was a good name, but this will be the first of theirs I back so I wasn't sure.

Those are fantastic. Count on getting my money.

Now that is info I did not know. Albino Dragon still has two projects undelivered? That makes me a little more hesitant. I like these, and would like to own a deck, but if they're not delivering, I will probably hold off.

That bright green is not going to reproduce in print unless he decides to use a spot neon. Which, all things considered, is probably for the best.

I agree - this is a zombie deck I might actually buy. Plus it makes me laugh, so big ups for that.

I love the backs, but I'm worried that the number/letter above the pips is going to make it tough to read them before my daughter can go, 'yep, this trick is mine,' and drag them all to herself before we get to say, 'you were not in suit.'

The face cards are all manner of bitchin', though.

I absolutely agree, creators who want to sell their creations need a thick skin. When I was designing decks, I got buttloads of feedback. Not all of it was very complimentary, and that's fine - in the end, do you want someone who will lie to you, or someone who will help you be better? I changed stu...

Those are staggeringly beautiful cards. Pledged for both decks.

You could just do like my son did - pay 50 bucks for an uncut sheet and then thumb-tack it to the wall in his room.

Though I am actually reading this thread, because I have some uncut sheets I would like to frame myself.

Bikefanatic, we're planning on launching February 23, so that I have the day off to sit at my computer all day and let it break my heart. Here are some of the images that got broken from before: http://vixentorgames.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/deadmanshand.jpg http://vixentorgames.com/wp-content/...
