All good points here and many things I've thought about. I have a few things to announce and reveal still. Nothing crazy but it should get some new eyes on the project throughout. To address some thoughts above: - I do have a ton of other products I've designed and produced that would make great add...

Yes, very true. But it's creeping along pretty steadily. I think a lot of Rocketeer fans will come in along the way. I'm doing a convention this weekend in Las Vegas. I'll promote it there. And while I'm there I'll be doing some rocketeer sketches to add to a new sketch level. It will give me a reas...

True, I could scale up and figure out a better international shipping option. Especially to Australia, it's literally one of my favorite places. I'm obsessed with Australian television right now. But I'm an independent artist and scaling up would mean less time creating and more time doing business ...

Shipping is always the most challenging part of the equation. For my part, I just put in the weights and the addresses from a couple countries and see what it tells me it will cost. That's all I can do!

Oh, and the tuck boxes will be foiled and embossed. I added that text to the page.

Thanks for the typo notification! It was too experimental I guess. Fixed that. Working on some levels with bricks and half bricks.

@maxs It actually pertains to another project I work on, a comic book which starts in 1933. It's kind of a good cut off year off year for a lot of different technological things. To me there is a before 1933, the end of the pioneering days of aviation and after which is a build up to war and much mo...

As for the previous branded decks unfortunately I only have about 30 decks left. That's it! I wish I had more but then that's the reason for the new edition. Also, a half brick option makes sense. I'll look into it!

Thanks for checking it out! Hopefully I can get this set produced and get some new decks in people's hands.

The colors look great. Not enough people use bright colors I think. I'm not a fan of one way backs but yours kind of works. I think the cards need a little something more but I don't know what. Maybe someone else here can help?

So I just uploaded this new picture some mockups to the project page. Right now I'm working on an art booklet that would go inside the Flight Logbook. The booklet will mostly go over the aviators and machines featured in the deck but I'm open to hearing what else should go in it! You can see the cov...

It's a MUST you keep the deck how it is. For those of us who pledged for both decks, we appreciate the difference in the court cards. It's best to pledge to two different decks instead of one deck with different color tucks/backs. Bicycle Tinker/Rusty Tinker and the upcoming Origins deck pulled thi...

Ok, here's the other big change that was suggested here. I've added the historic flight routes to the interior of the Flight Logbook.
I like how it looks!

Alright, makes sense. Thanks for explaining! You know they always say you're done designing something when everything you do starts making it worse.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that you come back when the other aces come out. It's a challenge!

Ha ha, You win some you lose some.
Why don't you like the new color scheme for the Airship Deck? Just personal preference?

Alright I "officially" changed the color scheme on those Kings and uploaded them to the project page. Anymore awesome ideas, send 'em my way.

Yup, you're right, that totally works. I'll probably do it tomorrow. But I'll leave the backgrounds the same. I'd like them to be the same on both decks. I think by Monday I should have both your ideas up!

You're right! I did miss that comment. Sorry! 1) Face card colors matching backs. Yes that is something I'm aware of. And it would be kind an easy tweak to go through and add more red here and there. I think there will always be a little more blue than red. But yes, that is a valid point and I will ...

Thanks Vasta. My hope is always that the final product will look even better than what everyone is expecting. So far I've really been able to live up to that with my other projects. Today I added a sticker that will come with each Logbook. If you're sign up to get one you can vote on which one gets ...

Thank you Widdee.
I like creating things that are like artifacts from another time. I'm always thinking about the whole package when I design not just a single item.

Bikefanatic wrote:Those Aces look great. I assume the Airplane Aces will have....airplanes on them.

Yes, you have assumed correctly. Those are already up on the page. You can see them right now!

I pledged for both decks BUT if both decks were the airplane then I would've pledged for just the blue one. It's good that the red deck is an airship. I'm not much on same deck, different color. It's has to be something different to set them apart than just the color. Good to know. You might be int...

I agree. Even if I wanted to I couldn't get out another deck that fast though. Since I publish books I have a tight schedule for when those have to be out.

It's true that people are paying attention to the collectible playing card audience. Once people are paying attention, then you get a lot of great decks and a lot of not so great decks created by people who just see it as a chance to make a few bucks. It's up to everyone here to decide which decks m...

I had to sign over five hundred books once for a KS campaign. It was not pleasant. 2.50 is actually cheap. And the book wasn't wrapped in celo, I could just flip it open and sign the next one! I got myself one of each Seven Seas decks. They did run a great campaign.

Looking great! I just realized though that maybe this needs an artbook since we aren't or I'm not familiar with the people on the court cards. I'm in for one of each at the least. I've seen PRM's store and he does some amazing art. An art book is definitely in the plans, we'll see if things go that...

You're right, it's a complicated issue. I just checked out Banania, yup, they would have to change that mascot if they released it in the US market. But at least the modern version seems pretty harmless.

Living in California where there is a strong Native American population I can tell you that this deck will greatly offend a lot of people. Not me, I'm not Native American. But people protested Urban Outfitters when they used a Navajo pattern on one of there shirts one time. How do you think people w...

Ok, I've added some embellishments to the upper 1/4th edge on each card and did a mockup of a fan in photoshop. I think they look great! Thanks for all your help guys. I'll be launching this project in about two weeks. You'll be able to see the rest of the changes then.
