Is it too late to say that the Aladdin Dome Back is out of copyright (designed in the 1880’s); it’s my favourite historic deck; Vanda has been more than forthright about attribution; I think Vanda Standard is a respectful homage and update; it also stands on its own merits as a modern design; and al...

So if the logic that it’s ok to copy someone else’s design no matter how recent it is as long as it has a slight variation or is a parody.... Then this deck image should be fine??? There is the tort of "passing off", which may cover parodies and the instance of edition number 5 being rush...

*going back to "last person to post wins" thread* OK, I’ll play, but to elevate the game beyond the schoolyard, each post has to have an opinion in it, how’s that ? Here’s my next go: For a discussion forum, there sure are a lot of members who don’t seem to want to participate in a discus...

I don't want to spend any time discussing or thinking about shit decks like this one. ... I think I'll rather try to search something worthwhile instead of waisting any more time on shit like this. This thread is back at the top of the UC index board, thus improving its visibility to the card colle...

I have been away a couple of days from this forum so a lot of catching up for me. I didn't even bother to read all the messages on this thread as I don't want to spend any time discussing or thinking about shit decks like this one. Apperantly some cardistry fanboy and TwoPiece having an argument......

I really must stop looking at this project, because the more I read, the more I discover to dislike. Jewelry Box’s KS tagline: “ A highly detailed hand-drawn playing cards comes with colorful beetles in watercolor technique” First line of introduction: “ detailed hand-drawn poker of colorful beetles...

I think this creator is being at least a little disingenuous about his inspiration for this deck. It appears to be an inferior remake of Immy Smith’s “Insecta Deck” (see link above) in almost every respect. The design has none of the richness, detail or thematic authenticity of Insecta (Insecta's fo...

This is why you're a failure. :nostar: :nostar: :nostar: :nostar: :nostar: You obviously misunderstand how sarcasm and humor work. What you post has to actually be funny. You didn’t write “for the record” – is this your own version of “Simon Says” where if you don’t write “for the record”, I am sup...

Really ? If you identify as any animal, I would have guessed a one trick pony, Sarcasm Boy.

I keep thinking that one of these days I'll "design" a double-blank deck with gilding and a separate gaff pack (yes, you read that right). This thread has made me realize what it must be called: Dada. I was also tossing around the idea of randomly gluing 1 in 50 of the tucks shut with sup...

Capitalism is a wonderful thing, my friend. It keeps artists fed and makes the world go 'round. However, it's just part of the background. You can discuss anything you want. No one here is preventing you from talking about capitalism, some of us just choose to focus on other aspects of these campai...

Read and learn your audience before engaging. It'll go a long way. Actually, you know what, I can't ignore the amount of misinformation being spread by your posts so I'm going to break down and correct everything: 1. I didn't insult the creator's parents. Learn to read. 2. As a long-standing member...

Twopiece insulted the creator’s parents ! He called other UC members “Jabronis”, which to those unfamiliar with the wrestling term, means ”loser” or “patsy”. Those are personal insults meant to antagonise those members of UC that do not agree with him (the creator is also a member of UC), so that hi...

Keep score and antagonise ? Did I say “not ON THIS PIECE OF CRAP DECK. Jabronis.” ? Or “This couldn't be more useless.” ? What about “Sorry, not sorry, but this project is one of the biggest pieces of crap to ever stink up both Kickstarter and this forum. The "design" (if you wanna call it...

This is our first deck of playing cards but once successful we plan to launch another campaign in the fall. You can see a sneak peek of what we are calling Bicycle Insignia Rider Back Playing Cards below. OR if this is actually very very subtle sarcasm then you've won the thread And yet the pile-on...

Is the Green + Silver deck meant to be named "Acqua" or is it a typo for "Aqua"? I've also asked a couple of questions on the mock campaign page :) "Acqua" is how the Italians spell the word for water, so no, probably not a typo. Thanks for the explanation! :D You’re w...

Just FYI, you may want to check the KS Comments on the Chevelle Card Project – someone has posted a warning, but wrongly associates it with Robert Tomlinson, not Diane.

@ALR Whatever man, if you have to be so serious in taking everything literally, so be it. I'd like to point out that since the family drama started, I've never even went back to take a second look at the campaign. If you want to talk about behavior on this forum and make assumptions about how other...

But I notice there have been some snide comments and even a clever (oh, so very, very, clever) screenshot on this forum making fun of the creator of this project. I already know far too much about her unfortunate family situation, and have no wish to know more, or to insert myself into it any furth...

OK, United Cardists,

Who's ready to put down the popcorn and contribute by exposing these on KS ?

This project was indubitably dishonest, and would almost certainly have resulted in months, if not years, of frustration for backers with no tangible result. Some of the contributors on this forum no doubt could surmise this from simple indicators (like the short funding period and low goal), but ot...

Had an email exchange with Deviantmoon.com yesterday about the international postage charge for pre-orders of the Royal Mischief Transformation Deck. Started out a little defensive, but ended with a genuine wish to try to resolve the issue, so there may be hope. It does not seem to me to be a big pr...

That I completely agree with but Lotrek is probably one of the very few people in the card world who could do this. I am far from being a fan of Bosch’s art but the sketches above look excellent. Sorry, didn't make it clear that by "all the ingredients ... appear to be top notch" I meant ...

I feel that transferring an existing artwork (here it means strictly ART) to playing cards is always a risky move considering how the representation works: too alike risks boredom (like those Van Gogh decks) vs. too altered risks sabotaging the original aesthetics. Now Bosch’s type of art is alread...

There is a quick answer to that: every comment here made on every deck here belongs to its individual owner. Not every comment means the world and certainly doesn't necessarily represent the majority of opinions. Two Piece could have his say on whatever punk he hates hahaha :lol: :lol: :lol: , but ...

Dude, allow me to point out that somehow your mode of speech here walks the fine line between sarcasm and ranting, and it's not easy to tell apart the two. So um... maybe just get over being mistakenly recognized as the designer (which initially would have been a compliment if you had realized how ...

Remember when this thread was about a deck of cards? I, too, briefly thought that ALR may have had some connection with the project creators, Apologies to all for derailing this thread. Just goes to show the dangers of offering unsolicited and petty, humourless virtue-signalling criticism to comple...
