I appreciate the attempt, but as someone who has all the Dave Stevens Rocketeer comics, a deck that reproduces comic art on the cards doesn't do it for me. In my mind, a home run would be a deck that has a more standard format and uses character art while looking like an "artifact" from th...

@Honeybee, that's a fantastic clarification and makes sense.

I adore this deck's illos and design (I'm especially a sucker for custom pips like on the green deck) but Eric is spot on that this is just too expensive for what it is. And I'm about done supporting Kickstarters for anyone without a WELL established track record, as sad as that is.

I agree with most here that something is "off" about this design, but I can't peg what it is. The illustrations look excellent but somehow all the disparate design elements don't quite come together. I have yet to find a Japan-themed deck that feels like Japan to me.

Yeah, I'm in too. Love the way they interpreted the seasons and excited to have a PVC set.

For anyone interested, the campaign is now rewarding every backer with a free mini-deck. I don't know why this makes me nervous, but it kinda does.

That second deck title sums up how I feel about this project.

The Parlour Royale.

Glad you chose this title over The Parlour Quarter-Pounder...

Waiting for the inevitable "Demure and Mindful" deck.

Well, I've decided I'm out. I've come to realize as nicely detailed as everything is, I'm just not that big a fan of Jackson's (standard?) illustration style (that regretfully incudes Lord of the Rings). I like him more when he's homaging other styles (Robin Hood, King Arthur, his money decks). Also...

Hi everyone. I started working on these decks in December 2023, it was a lot of work. Unfortunately, it is difficult to predict when someone else will release a similar theme. Yes, I know - the Egyptian theme comes up often, but I always dreamed of doing it. The decks are authentic, just collecting...

Only if Cthulhu is sleeping at the time.

And the pirates are at port.

Jackson's kinda non-answer aside, the problematic part is that, as a deck title without the story behind it, it can easily appear that JR endorses the concept and still believes that westward expansion was "Manifest Destiny." He's created a potential minefield with such a simple fix.

After years of subscribing to Jackson's releases (since the beginning of Kings Wild Shorts), I'm a little sad that he no longer produces anything I'm remotely interested in, save Lord of the Rings. And "Manifest Destiny"? Yikes. Yeah, that subtitle is problematic. I'm embarrassed that I d...

Yeah, it is gimmicky but it is a 10-day window so not a lot of time invested there at least. The pressure to deliver a deck that everyone still wants after they see the courts will hopefully push him creatively. If day turned dark and this didn't actually fund, he'd still have a realized deck he can...

My feedback: 1) Cool idea, but would have been much cooler with original courts that actually take advantage of the dichotomy in their design. 2) As is, it strikes me as a deck design Bicycle would do (can you "sell" a design to USPCC?). 3) Therefor, I'd expect a Bicycle price of $6.99 or ...

Gandalf & Strag, if you guys keep having a clear, respectful back and forth you are going to RUIN the reputation of UC!

The card clearly transformed into a spider...

I love Stout, but his DInosaur deck was pricey for what it was. I'm sure this one will be at least $25 also, but hoping it will be irresistible.

How do lefties deal with decks that only have the indices on the upper left hand corner? D'oh! I do really enjoy decks that put the indices in all four corners, and I even own a few "left handed" decks with the indices in the upper right. As for hating lefties... that's only a coincidence...

MagikF just wants to take apis on our parade.

How in all the holy hells did I NOT see this coming...

Just curious, since this was a true pre-order and not a KS style "support a creator" project, is it more legally actionable to report/sue/etc.? Not that I personally care to, I just wondered.

Woo. That's one bunch of UNHAPPY courts...

Beautiful design overall BUT I have a big pet peeve about "index-inside-the-pip" designs and even if I didn't, there is no attempt to marry the style to cards. It is very jarring to my preciously sensitive eyes.

Just a small sampling, but those appear to be really well-thought out designs to showcase the art. Maybe some folks at T11 care about more than just money.

Honeybee, just popping on to say I'm sorry that happened to you. Even knowing double's proclivities, it still hurts when people try to demean you like that. Miscommunications happen all the time and so I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but it saddens me that some people also are just ...

Not to mention the styles are totally different from each other. I like the style (not the size) of the KC better.

5 hours to go. All of 49 backers raising all of $1,625. Really? It’s all good! I’m printing 2,000 of this Deck, and they will easily sell out at shows by the end of next year or so. Shows are where the Euchre Decks shine, especially since they’re mostly in Indiana and Michigan (the two big Euchre s...

I'm wishing upon a star for a player's deck with those courts someday. Even better than The Golden Rule (sorry kevork). The Patrons Test Print from back last year is essentially a players version. Has these courts but no foil Thanks. I'm not a patron and those don't seem to be for sale on his websi...
