I figure I'm way overdue for an update on Reign of Sin! Over the past few years, this project has been waylaid by so many personal tragedies and large-scale disasters that I'm starting to believe it might actually be cursed (it's definitely to blame for COVID... sorry.) But, it's finally far enough ...

If I may, please consider a more elaborate tuck box (when compared to Wicked Kingdom), add all the whistles and bells we're used to (foil, embossing at least!). Is such a pitty - regarding Wicked Kingdom - to have such a great deck o cards encased in a lesser tuck box! When I show it to my friends,...

Haha, I was going to drop the project here when it was a little further along but yall beat me to it! Here's the finished artwork for the first card, the King of Clubs (Pride) for Reign of Sin - there's a long way to go given the two-deck format, but I'm aiming for a kickstarter launch in 2018 if li...

Awesome to hear that people are liking their cards! I've been thrilled and a little caught off guard by the overwhelmingly positive response to the deck... and I've already started sketching for the next one :) All orders received prior to this week are shipped as of today, so if you haven't receive...

Just dropped by to post the deck photos, but looks like Justin beat me to it (thanks Justin!) The decks turned out great; I'm hoping to get a head start on fulfillment in the coming weeks as it will be a pretty major undertaking (currently looking at close to 4,000 orders). Thanks again to everyone ...

Hey Wylie, I'm not entirely sure where else to ask that, but the prices shown on the Backerkit page, are they in US currency? Not entirely sure how the Backerkit prices show up to international buyers, but in USD the prices are $38 for three decks, $35 for the art book, and $50 for the uncut sheet ...

Just a note to say that the campaign for this one closes in 58 hours! Here's the latest card, the first of the jokers, just released today: https://i.redditmedia.com/mHOMuY2Z6RwCB3l-MUcG7XscUiwPVhIXguRxtTLUa6Q.jpg?w=768&s=9b68cd279af4d130e0243ee319d36ddf https://ksr-ugc.imgix.net/assets/013/105/...

So the project hit 60K and the streatch goal is a custom seal :? .. So if the deck was to be embossed or have some foil would it needed to hit what?? 120K???.. I guess the embossing and foiling and interior printing will not happen for this project... Too bad, it could add a lot to the deck.. When ...

A quick update on the project: Funding has reached the 50K mark; I've added an art book tier to the reward selections! http://www.wickedkingdomdeck.com/images/bookmockup600.jpg The art book will be a 72 page softcover (6.625 x 10.25") volume featuring all of the art and writing from the Wicked ...

An update... After spending a few days trying to puzzle out a more elegant solution for the international add-on shipping, I've come to the conclusion that I won't be able to make any changes this late in the game that will treat all levels of backers fairly while covering my own shipping costs AND ...

sms69x wrote:I would have gone for the 8 deck tier, but that $38 for int'l shipping killed it .Is the same to ship 8 decks as is it to ship 12??

Sadly, yes - same cost on my end for both. International shipping is wildly expensive from the US : (

Hey Wylie, when are you gonna add the half brick tier? I wanna pledge for it :ugdance: :lol: Sorry for the delay in adding those tiers, it's been a busy weekend here! Just added new reward tiers with 6- and 8- deck quantities. The new tiers should represent some pretty significant savings over the ...

A question that might help me jumpstart getting the add-on rates fixed: does anyone happen to know the exact weight of a Bee deck or an uncut sheet? Totally not spoiling the first stretch goal here, I'm "just asking for a friend"...

Your shipping in the reward tier looks ok, the problem is with your add-ons, clarly you over-estimated it by too much. I'm going to try to find a more elegant solution for the shipping calculations over the next month... I've been looking into some other creator's campaigns to see how they handled ...

Thanks for checking out the project, everyone! Regarding shipping and add-ons... The unfortunate thing I realized when I was planning the prices for the tiers and add-ons is that international shipping from the US is CRAZY EXPENSIVE, even for fairly small/light packages. I've received some dire warn...

Thanks for the thread merge! I'm really thrilled this project has gotten so much traction on Day 1 - I'm sure you guys are responsible in no small part

Looks like I'll be approaching stretch goal territory soon, if anyone has any thoughts on what sort of upgrades they'd like to see...

After a year and a half of painting, I'm finally launching the Wicked Kingdom deck! This is my first playing card deck, and I'm insanely excited to be putting it out there. The deck is currently live on Kickstarter ( http://tinyurl.com/wickedkingdomlaunch ) and will be printed by the USPCC. The layo...

Launching the deck on Kickstarter tomorrow morning (or technically later today since I'm up past midnight working on the page...) I'll post a link when the project goes live (11am PST), but in the meantime here's a preview of the Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wyliebeckert/21...

Admittedly I'm an illustrator, not a designer... any suggestions?

Made some revisions to the card back to cut down on the empty white space... I'm a lot happier with the new version. Thanks for the suggestion guys!

Oops, that was actually me forgetting to turn off a layer when mocking up the card back... NOT the world's clumsiest attempt at a marked deck. Good eye

The huge white border on the courts is unfortunate, maybe consult with USPCC to see how far you can push it. Perhaps experiment with thinner border and notch out the two corners for the indicies. Yeah, I'm hoping narrower borders/larger art will be doable. I'll have to check with USPC on what's pos...

Yeah, I went back and forth on whether to have the card backs completely reversible - in the end I felt like the one-way backs worked better with the dual natures of the face cards; I'm really into deck designs like Arcana with one-way designs that look two-way at first glance. I'll have to see if I...

Things ended up taking a little longer than I'd hoped, but I'm finally getting ready to Kickstart this thing later this month. Just started a thread over in the Custom Deck Drafting board to give everyone a look at the deck-in-progress while I iron out the layout kinks and double-check the details -...

EDITED TO ADD: The deck is now live on Kickstarter at http://tinyurl.com/wickedkingdomlaunch ! Huge thanks to everyone who's weighed in on the design process - I'm still looking to make this deck the best it can be, so if you have any suggestions please keep em coming! http://wickedkingdomdeck.com/i...

I think the art for this deck is some of the best art on playing cards sense Vladislav Erko decks. Most definitely on kickstarter. Damn, that's some high praise, Jackson - I love his work. Thank you! I'm curious to see your Jokers. I haven't made it quite that far on the planning yet - not sure if ...

Love the artwork! Can't wait to see more! :ugdance: Will the cards come with the narrative/story behind the cards, as that will make the deck even more interesting! :D Thanks! I've started posting the bits and pieces of the narrative that are coming together as I finish the cards in the online gall...

wyllebeckert - I like cards that tell a little story. Meaning the reversible courts don't have to be the same. What are your indices going to look like? I see you didn't leave enough room for a suit indicator on the courts, but I do see hints and hints my be enough... I like people who break the ru...

Just registered for an account, and lo and behold my deck arrived here before me. Thanks for the mention, ecNate! As soon as I have image posting privileges, I'll be setting up a thread in the deck drafting board to chart the progress on the deck. I just wrapped up the Queen of Spades (posted here: ...
