Yeah. This is dead in the water. Hector doesn't even log onto Kickstarter anymore. He hasn't been on since August.

Hated these courts the first time I saw them. Hate them even more now.

Re: Enigma Playing Cards - Torch Red Edition: Live on KS

Still waiting on this mediocre deck. Apparently I'm not alone. There are enough decks to sell online, but a bunch of backers still haven't received their KS pledges.

I quite like the design, with the the exception of CHICAGO written on every bloody surface.

~$88 CAD for three deck I'm not wild about?

Nope.

Hell, I'd be hard pressed to pay almost $30 a deck for something I am wild about.

Hard pass.

For cardistry being such an aesthetically driven practice it amazes me how remarkably ugly many of the decks are. This is up there with some of the ugliest.

Re: Royal Portraits / Live KS

Why put all that work into the court art and then have those terrible pips with the smudges(?) through them?

I don't know like it and I wouldn't buy even if they fixed the pips, but it's just one of a few strange decisions in this that have my scratching my head.

A picture taken explicitly for this campaign is a possibility.

As for osint, it's a work adjacent skill set rather than a personal interest.

I find it interesting that Joseph's profile picture does not seem to exist anywhere other than Kickstarter and a quick osint dive into the name / location isn't pulling up anything of interest.

The younger look of Sam Jackson never pulled me out of the movie. I think they pulled it off The only time it was really recognizable was in the actions of Jackson, rather than the visual effects. For example, there's the scene where they're in the underground military complex looking for files. Ja...

Re: Crown Jewels by SPCC / Live KS

Ehhhh. I disagree on the courts "looking good". They look unfinished to me. Like there's a good concept there, but not enough designer. It's barely enough to make a single deck interesting enough to purchase, let alone three.

Re: Flagrant Agenda's Agenda Facade [KS]

Yeah. I liked the first deck they put out, but I'm really, really tired of multi-deck KS. I don't want two or three variants of the same okay thing. I want two or three of one awesome thing.
