Re: *OFFICIAL* 2019 'Deck of the Year' Awards

OK, wow, that was a nice inbox! If still available, I've been wanting to get my hands on these for a while, and as in the EU they will be cheaper to ship then from the USA.

[BUY] Lotrek/Oath Gold on Gold standards (UK/EU)

PayPal took too long to process the payment and had all sold out by the time I could finish.

I’ve been looking around, but none yet. Happy to have an open deck, as I’ll open them myself anyway.

If anyone has changed their mind and happy to let a deck go, please let me know!

Re: Testament - The Relaunch!

Stretch goal is going to look ambitious... at the very least would need to be £2,000 extra just to see it not running a risk of impacting my pocket too much, on top of existing stretch goals that would put it at a £6,000 target. I could then make them available at a 'post to america then post out wo...

Re: Testament - The Relaunch! (wap)

Happy to do that! Your are spot on, double postage is a pointless expense and helps no-one (except the postal companies!) I’ll add it as a stretch and if we don’t hit it then i’ll try and work something out. Let me do the maths when I get home from work.

Stopped short of sticking a donkeys jaw in his hands and jar of Honey in the background. Now reconsidering! As for Jesus, I think this turned out ra...

Re: Testament - The Relaunch!

The simple tweaks: Updated KS campaign to show reasons behind no gambling rule, amended stretch goal order. Added some clarity around the Jokers. Added add-on's. With the add-ons, they are pretty much cost neutral, so wont significantly influence the funding of the deck, but I don't want to make the...

Re: Testament - The Relaunch! (wap)

Thank you so much everyone, there is much to consider - thank you. I don’t think I will change the aces. I did design them to be compatible with both the classic and art variants, though they are probably more suited to the classic. But I do see them as out of alignment a little with the art deck. B...

Re: Advice on back of new deck

Thank you cupcake, I had considered a deck such as this. But I ended up discarding the idea as it wouldn’t really suit my target audience. If younger players are to understand the characters they need to be able to relate to them. The classical images and especially Byzantine are harder to distingui...

Re: Advice on back of new deck

Thanks again, I've changed the first image to include a red cross on the teal background. How does it look? I'm also slightly concerned about empty space, but also about over-complicating the back. Does it need more? The royals - they are really just concepts, I've not put much time into them. Defin...

Re: Advice on back of new deck

Thank you, both, for your comments. Very true - the deck needs to match the back. I may have been a bit premature asking for advice on the back before the courts. The court cards are very much at concept stage, but they are based on biblical characters. It is being designed for my family and daughte...

Hi all, Your feedback on my last deck had a huge influence - I was wondering if I could call on your guidance again? It's based on Christian symbology, so based around a monstrance, with Glory, Cupid and Dove. Two main concerns - is there too much empty space? and mental block on the colour, could y...
