So what the hell did I do to you? Absolutely nothing. In every conversation I've had with you you have been nothing but good-natured and good-humored, and through direct interaction as well as my reading of your posts I've come to recognize and respect your aesthetic perspective: you know what you ...

I'll take the book form vs looking through a deck of cards for a drink recipe. I can understand the argument for utility; a pack of cards is much more portable than a book, and has the added benefit of doubling as a gaming tool as well as a reference. But if that's the idea, the selection of paper ...

Allan stuffed the ballot box with 54 illegal votes, pass it on

Firstly: my strong suggestion is that you revisit your Kickstarter preview/banner image. Yes, the tuck turnaround looks cool, but there's no shortage of deck campaigns that can boast a neat tuck render and literally not a damn thing else - especially in the crowded subgenre of "Japan Cool"...

Well, I would certainly like to be able to like this. Kings of India is still one of my favorite decks, and the use of dense, visually distinctive lineart patterns instead of color to create contrast is one I think would fit the theme well. But this one feels like it needs some constructive feedback...

Heck, why not. I've got a nice fat stack of tradeables for folks who like surprises. I'm in.

Pick two of the following:

• Bicycle Tokidoki V1 Blue Maiden Back
• Bicycle Tokidoki V2 Black
• Japan Okinawa
• Ravn Mini (you know, the one with the cute chick on the tuck!!)

Using a black Sharpie marker, he added mustaches to the Queens and eye-patches to the Kings. One of the Jacks is now wearing hand-drawn glasses, and another is holding a lit cigarette. Ah, a ready-made of the Dadaist school! Truly Lorenzo is a man of culture. No doubt the full deck will command a k...

I... might need one of these.

For, you know... market research. Yeah, that's it.

However, I am grateful for you, so what does that mean?

Try redrawing USPCC courts, no edits, to break you from your sever angular designs. Do same thing with other deck creators who have done standard tweaked courts. You need to "teach" your brain and creativity to learn something new stylistically. The chance that I'll recolor USPCC standard...

Custom court cards slightly revised. Custom pips layout on number cards Were there any details on Patreon as to what the "slight" revisions to the court cards were? I'd be interested to know. I only have the Bicycle branded so I thought the custom pip layouts might've been from Le Chat Ro...

If not; count me in for C . (I've asked you in the past but forgot the answer; from what deck of cards is your current avatar?) It's the Blackjack Casino deck . Printing by USPCC, art by Laura Verdin (who also did the Shovel Knight deck). Still available from Fangamer for fifteen bucks! I'm not bei...

There's a Thanks list! :o People are more grateful for 2pc than they are for me :cry: My copy of the Lost Hollow Tarot came in today and it looks pret-ty good . Toying with changing my avatar, but what to? UC-avi2.jpg Option A Pros: evokes 2020-appropriate levels of creeping dread Cons: "reads...

As many of you are already aware of, we had a situation where 2 court cards of the Goketsu Craft deck were duplicated during production. This is entirely our fault due to a lapse in the vetting process during pre-press. We have already arranged for the replacement cards to be printed and we are awa...

Forgive me, not sure how to get more pics posted. You can direct link/embed KS images; it's just a bit counterintuitive. Open the image in a new tab, copy the URL and bracket it in [ img ] tags like you normally would, but use the URL exactly as it appears ; resist the urge to clean up all the oogl...

The Craft deck that I got does not have Jack of Diamonds and Queen of Diamonds. Instead it has the Jack of Hearts and the Queen of Hearts in double. I am the third person in Kickstarter page to report about this so I would assume all the Craft decks are misprinted. I opened my craft deck and didn't...

Great cause. Bad desk.

I'd prefer to just donate, if I knew where to direct the funds.

I'm going to venture that. . . That's paint! Finely ground pigment piped through an airbrush. It's alcohol based so it dries quite fast. No special steps other than clamping it down required.

How is the gilding? Very interested to know how they compare with WJPC and GW. Not expecting KWP level gilding or even Cartamundi, but would be good to know. So this sent me down a little bit of a rabbit hole. I scoured UC to see if anybody had touched on variations in modern gilding methods, but t...

Mine came in today. They're certainly not for everybody; I don't see that he ever announced the final choice for printer on KS, but the smooth stock certainly does feel like MPC, and the decision to eschew color on the cards completely is going to be a bridge too far for many. But I'm happy with 'em...

I literally just reorganized my collection and sorted the best of the best into my card chest two weeks ago, and tonight some jerk sent me these damn decks in the mail and made me do it again. This hobby blows.

Inspired me to look for a few of these. Thanks for posting. Thanks for bumping it! A lot of really neat-looking decks in here I'd never seen before. OP last checked in about a year and a half ago, but I hope he wanders through again and sees folks are still appreciating his posts. This makes me thi...

Let's say I'll produce three different decks plus two gilded upgrades, 2167 decks total. Please don't ask why, but it means 500 Red, 835 White, and 835 Retro decks. For White and Retro decks, 334 of each will be gilded. The problem is - I have to produce 500 Red decks minimum. My math SAT score was...

A real shame for all of us who loved your work, but no shame at all in the oeuvre(? catalog? portfolio? brick house?? ) you're leaving behind.

Sincere question: can anybody find a web presence for the eponymous Shito Museum? I h̶a̶l̶f̶-̶a̶s̶s̶e̶d̶ fractionally buttocksed a google, but all that comes up is this deck, museum exhibits of Shinto regalia/artifacts, and a few mentions of an Okinawan karate form called shitō-ryū.

So, I'm sorry, but I can't pass up mentioning that Solace is a homonym for Soulless. Ex cuse you. In my day homonyms had to be pronounced and spelled the same. None of this loosey-goosey "a homonym is just, like, a state of mind, man " New Age degeneracy being peddled to Our Impressionabl...
