Re: DEFINING and Populating NEW fields

I also added those for @dazzleguts and @Modi (need details on Scallywags though). I just edited your requests with the completed links for clarity. Scallywags should be the company behind the Postumo cards, but of course the kickstarter page doesn't say this, and my copies of the deck are currently...

Re: Contribute to Playing Card DB!

I'm ModiTorsen over there, just in case anyone wants to yell at me for something. And sweet job with the over 2K listed, and the DB in general, I'm really digging it. There aren't nearly enough resources on the net for playing card collectors, and I think this has the potential to really help people.

Re: Help IDing Deck

I had thought about them being a magic deck, if they are tapered it's so subtle I can't tell, but I've never actually held a deck that I knew was tapered, so I'm not sure how noticeable it would be. I Also scanned the backs of 2 cards and flipped back and forth looking for differences, none that I c...

This was a deck that really came together as the kickstarter went on.

The alternate backs where combined and polished to make the final back, which was a massive...

Re: Ritual Playing Cards - Gold Edition

From this picture I have to say I like the originals better. The "Gold" here really just looks kinda yellow. Now, if all that is metallic ink, and just not photographing well in that pic, I'm definitely willing to be swayed.

Re: Steampunk Cthulhu - Live on Kickstarter

I feel this deck has potential. I know I'm in the minority here. But the creator is at least listening to user comments, such as courts being in color, and it looks like there will be an attempt to fix the problems. They are currently checking to see if people think it's worth the cost of being a bi...

As said in the earlier discussion of this deck, Great back, but the rest need work. I Also noticed that the creator hasn't updated the project in 15 days. Not a great sign to me, Seems like they gave up without even trying to improve it.

That's what I said about the 1st deck on kickstarter, yet I backed 1 deck anyway. I have to say that I do really like the deck, but I'm still not sure if it was worth $15.

Re: The "Hey, look what I added to my collection!" thread

I Agree, it's far from annoying. Quite the opposite in fact, it allows me to check out decks I didn't know where out there, and often add them to my list of stuff to purchase.
